I am Choosing the Rainbow Matriarchy
The societal experiment of Straight White Patriarchy is not our best option. For centuries, the default operating system of society has been failing the vast majority of people. This is my blog. This is how I see it. If you already want to fight me, you are most likely a straight white male or your sense of security and purpose are closely tied to one. I get it. Owning your privilege isn’t comfortable. The societal framework that you were born into gave you an advantage that other people do not get. You can be mad at me for pointing it out. Being mad about facts doesn’t change...
Read MoreWomen Leaders; More and Now
Turns out, the leaders I truly admire most are women. This is not a bold statement to anyone who knows me. I have been dedicated to fostering healthy, educated, connected women leadership for literally decades. Being in the field of growing women’s leadership does not, however, automatically mean that I think women are great leaders simply because they are women. There are also exceptional leaders who are not women and when I started on my own journey, most of the leaders I knew were certainly not women. Gender does not automatically destine anyone for great leadership. Still, I...
Read MoreOne World Women
One woman’s life lived in service touches many lives yet to be born in places she will never see. One woman changes the world. What about three? Every person wants to be relevant. Every person wants to make a ripple in the waters of life (and sometimes a full-on tidal wave). Wanting is not the same as doing. This writing is in dedication to the doers. While doing something monumental is not actually required to live a life in service to Good, I am honored to know people who have said yes to a larger calling and whom, in spite of fear, are saying “yes” to being agents of...
Read MoreBlog Revival
The time-space-continuum of the 2020 – 2022 conundrum occurred. What does this mean? Two years disappeared from relative existence since my last blog. How? I wish I knew for sure, but it seems that this is a phenomenon that many people experienced. Time worked differently in the past two years than how it did before the pandemic. It is time for a Revival. It is time to get going again. It isn’t that I have a specific thing to say to share with you this moment that is prompting me to write again. Instead, it is that I have too many things to say and they are all swirling around...
Read MoreWe are All Changed.
2020 is three quarters finished. It seems like we have been in this year for a decade. In other years, September would arrive and I would get the feelings of “this year is almost over already!”. This year I am staring at the September calendar and thinking “still three more months until this year can be officially OVER.” I am not one to wish time away (it is the one resource we can never get more of and we don’t even know how much of it we actually have). But, like you, I am tired. This intensity of upheaval in this year was more than unexpected and I am...
