Samhain 2022

Let us gather 
the golden light of autumn's bounty 
and share its glory
as the nights lengthen
in the sun's journey toward the shortest day.

Susan B. Anthony

 

This is a hard one to share at a time when our rights are being taken away. But it is a tribute to the determination and strength of Susan B. Anthony and a reminder that we must never give up.

Mary Church Terrell

 

Mary Church Terrell was smart and determined and an indefatigable worker. Born in 1863, she was a key figure in both the suffrage movement in the early 20th century and later the integration of restaurants and public places in Washington D.C. in the early 1950s. The biography I read was Unceasing Militant: The Life of Mary Church Terrell by Alison M. Parker.

Celebrating the first anniversary of my first spine surgery with some thoughts about balance. Turn on the sound to hear the voiceover.
