Will Travel For Tea!

December 30, 2009

To this day, I remember when I first heard Jenifer Madson’s clear, warm, confident voice on the phone.  I had been introduced to her by another Woman on Fire (of course!) and Jen was inquiring about our tea parties.
She told me she lived outside of Denver and was willing to consider flying to New York [...]

Clear the Decks!

December 27, 2009

I take to heart what my friend, Woman on Fire Sophfronia Scott announced she is doing in this final week of 2009:  “Clearing the deck for 2010!”

December 13, 2009

Eeeek!  The holidays are almost here.

Even so, I always feel vulnerable this time of the year.

November 29, 2009

It’s 3AM.  Who ya gonna call?
When my goddaughter was 3 years old, I wanted for her to feel safe and empowered that she would always have someone to turn to.
So I asked: “Julia, if you were scared and needed help, who would you call?”
Without skipping a beat, she joyfully exclaimed, “GHOSTBUSTERS!”
Ha! Well, that isn’t exactly [...]
