“I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It’s a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you’re relentless…And it is an investment. Sisterhood means …

This week-end my mother-in-law came to town. She asked about the movie and asked if she could see it. It was fun to have someone sincerely interested in the project, but, seriously now, to have my mother-in-law as one of the first critics? I consented to take her to the office and agreed that she …

I work better in partnership. I am even more convinced of that this week. I am pretty fatigued. Actually, I am beyond fatigued. “What do you want for lunch?” Please don’t make me decide even this most simple request. I don’t know. I don’t care. It is not important. Now where is that picture? That …

When I hear kids whining, or a friend complains too much, often my response sounds like, “Does that usually work for you?” It is funny to watch the person realize they have been caught in the game of manipulation. Even two year olds will try to hide their high five smile, but they aren’t good …

I thought it would be fun to get tickets for Celine Dion. Chris really enjoys her voice. I don’t really like watching her sing. Kind of makes me nuts, but I love her voice. She is coming to Arizona in December. I think, perfect. Just in time for his birthday. I go on line and …

Today was pretty cool. I woke up in the mountains and took a solo walk. LOVED IT. Found a swing in an old school house and reminisced about days gone by. How fun it was in kindergarten to chase Mike Casey around the play yard and be chased right back! I arrived home by noon …

What did I say? I have this weird thing that happens when I speak in public. I sometimes don’t know what I am saying and afterwards I don’t remember what I said. Yesterday we had an opportunity to bring some attention to this project. We thought we were going to be interviewed and then they …

I have spent the week perfecting the role of Scarlet O’Hara, “I can’t think about that right now. If I do, I’ll go crazy. I’ll think about that tomorrow.” Well, Scarlet, tomorrow has arrived. By the time you are reading this, I will have already been on our local T.V. show, Good Morning Arizona. To …

I had my first experience in being in the jury pool this week. Talk about grueling! There were hundreds of us called forth to the Phoenix courts to sit around and wait to see if we would be chosen. It felt like school all over again. Pamela Bowman – Here! Line up with your number …
