The voice of my soul is a woman of indeterminate age. I want it to be me, but I am confused by the sound, the lilt, the hush, and I wonder: if it isn't me, who is it? Read more →
Post by Blog Manager Robbi Hess How many times a day does someone pose the question, "How are you?"

Yvonne Discovers The Power of We
May 07, 2006
I found them. The women the Internet lost. Well, personally, I never thought they were lost. In fact, I routinely showcase them on this blog - the power-women, the ones out there changing the world; the ones quietly (?) tending hearth and home - a job that still does not... Read more →
