So, I haven’t written in months and months here. Basically, the reason for this is that my discovery of the bloggernacle and writing a little for this silly little blog has served its purpose. I received the validation for my feelings that I had desperately needed. It was therapeutic and wonderful at first. I loved … Continue reading »
I Feel Unequal When . . . Redux
Today, was listening to a Mormon Stories’ interview with the famous Margaret Toscano, a LDS feminist excommunicated in the early 90s for her “radical” and uncorrelated views. I recommend the interview–it’s very insightful and she seems like a really cool lady. In the podcast, she mentioned an article she wrote for Sunstone entitled, “Are Boys More Important than Girls?”. … Continue reading »
I Wish I Had the Power to Mindmeld
You got me. I’m a trekkie. Although I must admit I’ve seen a lot more of TNG and the later series than the original. So, why the nerdy reference, you ask? Well, my mom texted me today.

WAVE delivers a powerful response … Continue reading »
What’s this? A woman with a wild and dangerous opinion of her own?

We Listen to the Gerontocracy
My husband and I went to dinner with my grandparents last night. They are sweet people and I love them. Like many elderly persons, my grandfather is prone to expressing ultraconservative, semi-racist remarks. A long the lines of “Obama is evil Muslim,” or “Santorum has great family values,” etc. So, while we were waiting for … Continue reading »
Church Shoes
I’ve been trying to write an introductory post to this blog for days now—not really knowing how to begin. My perspective isn’t entirely a unique one. Which is fine—great, actually.
