Presage

The older women… the ones who remember…and their daughters who grew up hearing the first-hand accounts…

Try to warn the younger women…and their daughters who bask freely in the fruits of their foremother’s labor and suffrage…about the urgent need, and the lengths to which they must go… to defend and protect our hard-won rights.

Too often the warnings are rebuffed or fall on deaf ears…the younger generations feeling they are over-blown and unwarranted.

They utter ridiculous things like…

“That will never happen”

“That can’t happen…here…in today’s America”

The thing is… it did happen…here…in America…to women.

It’s still…happeninghere…in today’s America…to women!

Roe was overturned in today’s America!

Me Too” and “Times Up” should indicate to anyone paying attention that the fight is far from over.

Everything that can be done…can be undone.

Women take heed…you must stay informed and vigilant herenow…in today’s America!

Faded Cotton

Time worn and tested, strong, soft and resilient…

Faded cotton is the fabric of everyday living…

A timeless classic that ages and wears with us like a trusted friend.

Who doesn’t have a favorite shirt, dress or pair of 501’s that transports them, if only for a moment, to another place and time?

A summer fling perhaps? A romantic escape? A perfect family vacation? Insert priceless memory here ____________.

Some of the best days of my life were lived in faded cotton.

The Respect that She Deserves

She never asked for, let alone demanded…

To be treated fairly and appropriately as she navigated the complex world of interpersonal relationships…

Well, that would just be rude…

Or so she had been taught.

Experience has shaped her.

Age and wisdom have offered new growth and added perspectives.

Forged in life’s fires she emerges with the proper amount of sass, and the ability to command in all situations the respect that she deserves.
