It’s Not Abnormal to Want to Be Alone

Posted on June 13, 2019 by This Woman Writes

The American corporate/entertainment society has a difficult time with people who want to be alone. “It’s abnormal to want to be alone!” we’re told. “You’re introverted and shy, anti-social and afraid of people.” (It’s odd how the opposite is considered … Continue reading →

Choose Wisely Who Influences You

Posted on June 6, 2019 by This Woman Writes

Multitasking What We Believe

Posted on June 5, 2019 by This Woman Writes

Storms of Life: We Survive Them

Posted on June 3, 2019 by This Woman Writes

As long as we’re not out in the middle of it, and as long as it’s not too violent, there’s nothing like a good storm. Dramatic clouds drifting around the sun cast surreal light over a scene that, on a … Continue reading →

Is It Too Noisy to Think?

Posted on May 27, 2019 by This Woman Writes

We live in a noisy world. Some of the noise we can’t help, especially if we live in a city. There’s the bustle of traffic, a neighbor’s loud stereo, sirens. In the office, it may be a co-worker’s talking on … Continue reading →

Posted on May 15, 2018 by This Woman Writes

It’s easier to sit through a mindless movie than slog through a bad book. After all, most movies and TV shows demand little active brain involvement, so it’s possible (desirable, actually, from the perspective of the Media Myth Makers) to … Continue reading →

Posted on April 4, 2013 by This Woman Writes

I’m a knitter. This is a fairly solitary occupation, in that you don’t need to be part of a team to do it, and it’s fairly doable to get good at this without classes, seminars, workbooks, DVDs, and weekly meetings. … Continue reading →

I’m a Believer — So Are You

Posted on December 19, 2012 by This Woman Writes

We disagree with one another a lot these days, but I think I’ve found three sentences we can all say, “Yes, that’s true,” to: 1) We are all born. 2) We all die. 3) In between, we operate each of … Continue reading →
