Edit Button Fail

I love a good slumber party. It’s a super-fun, super-affordable birthday party. For Ainsley’s 9th Birthday we had two classmates over. It was a Spa Party. Turtle Cheesecake from Whole Foods. Honestly, I’m not sure why regular birthday cake even exists. These calories are worth it. There were gifts. Good ones. Things were going well. […]

Piercings – Right of Passage

When Ainsley was a baby I participated in what felt like an Ancient Tribal Ritual – I held her tightly swaddled body down while she shrieked with fear, pain and anger – so the doctor could pierce her ears. One ear down, I thought, “Dear God, what am I doing?” When Ainsley was around 3 […]

Christine O’Donnell, Not a Witch

Delaware Republican Senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell literally had to run an ad clarifying, “I am not a witch.” Which would be hysterical, you know, if women who had the audacity to seek power, spiritually or politically, hadn’t actually been branded witches and been burned at the stake for it for centuries. And if our ancestors […]

Change My Life: Fall Has Fallen

This year we get an entire year of Firsts in our new house, in our new state, with our new life. First Fall, First Halloween, First Thanksgiving, First Christmas and First New Year. It’s one reason I actually enjoy moving (I’ve had a lot of practice). I enjoy traditions and to photograph those traditions. I […]

Spark Summit

There is a new organization with seasoned players taking on the sexualization of girls, SPARK Summit. SPARK is organizing a Summit – Spark Summit on Oct 22. SPARK Summit will launch an intergenerational movement to support and stand with girls. The SPARK Summit will engage girls to be part of the solution rather than to […]

New Moon Girls 18th Birthday

Some things never change. But New Moon Girls ISN’T one of those things. In 1992 it came on the scene as the first girl-edited magazine for 8-14 year olds. Now it’s meeting girls’ 21st century needs with a safe social network for girls worldwide. Happy Birthday New Moon! Tracee Sioux is a Law of Attraction Coach […]

Children = ATM

The Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood is taking on Skechers for making a Nickelodeon program that is nothing but an ad for their product. Since the characters have always only been in ads, we believe that the show’s broadcast will violate the time limits for commercial matter in kids’ TV shows (12 minutes per hour on […]

Life Coach: Introspective Self-Portrait

I used to think Xerox Art was super-cool. Because it is. I painted this, with oil, from a framed Xerox of my face while in college. I spent my 20’s in a bit of angst. I had pretty decent reasons, boyfriends were all druggies with a tendency to knock me around, stalk me or be […]

Power Self-Portrait

I painted this in my 20’s, probably my early 20’s. This was what I wanted my life to be. Powerful and beautiful. The flaming sword of truth and the gavel are definitely power symbols here. I found another one I’ll show you tomorrow. Where can I find a life coach?  Subscribe here for all the […]

Kids With Cell Phones

This is Ainsley and her PawPaw showing off their new cell phones. He got the new iPhone 4 and she got a cool purple slider phone. Yes, we got our nine-year-old daughter a cell phone. My mother-in-law reminded me that I used to say things like, “I would never give a child a ______ ” […]

Soul Path: Roman Catholic Womenpriests

I’ve been excited to hear about the 100 women who claim authority as Catholic Priests in the United States, as in this Time article. While there is evidence to suggest that women were equals and held authority in early Christianity, The Church – Catholic, Mormon, Protestant – have spent the last two thousand years eradicating […]
