Barbara Ehrenreich- Pathology of Hope

This is one of my favorite articles of all time. I am sharing it here because I want to make sure I can always find it. Nine years ago I had to deal with breast cancer. I called it breast cancer light. I had what they call Stage Zero DCIS and I had a lumpectomy and radiation. At the same time I had other personal hurdles going on and life was challenging to say the least. I could not have managed it without permission to feel really bad sometimes. Depressed. Angry! Who ever said these are destructive emotions does not know what they are talking about.

Read this article and I promise you will have a much easier time when life becomes difficult.

Ignorance at the Top

Today I was approached by a highly placed individual in one of the ever-mounting number of secular coalitions. He wished for Reasonable New York and specifically Feminist Freethinkers to join their coalition.

New Website and a New Year!

I have finally moved off the bearish drupal platform and now reside at WordPress…. a much friendlier place to be! I am hoping to start blogging a bit again but more importantly I am looking for new members and new ideas.
Please contact me if you would like to get involved.

Our next event is March 24 where we will be discussing Intersectionality. Please join us if you can and if you are interested in getting involved stick around after the meeting to talk to me.
