Canada has their own RBG. In fact, Ruth Bader Ginsburg referred to Rosalie Silberman Abella as her ‘dearest sister-in-law’. While their careers and accomplishments mirror each other, in my opinion, the latter had a greater effect on their country’s laws. On this International Women’s Day, I wonder why the world, particularly women’s rights followers and …

‘No More’ Isn’t Enough!
This week is “No More Week” from March 2 through 8 ending to coincide with International Women’s Day. While “No More” began about male violence about women, it is about shedding a light on domestic abuse and sexual violence. It’s been almost 12 years since I left my abuser of 22 years. Twenty-two years? you …
Olympic Afterthoughts
It’s over for another 4 years. The Milano Cortina Olympic Games 2026 were wonderful to watch and I can only imagine how participants feel.

As part of the treaty, U.S. recognized Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland. Donald Trump has such an inflated sense of self intelligence and importance he thinks he’s pulling …

What Keeps Us Young
I live on a street of small houses mostly built 75 to 100 years ago. Its residents are eclectic: seniors who’ve lived here for ages, young families who’ve purchased their ‘starter homes’, and because we live near a university, transient students in rental homes. There are often curb conversations about how busy the younger folk …

Perspective
So, what got me thinking about perspective? While sitting at my computer one day last week, the background TV was on an episode of Life After People on Story Television and they were specifically discussing what would happen to Detroit’s buildings 40 years after a population disappearance. They kept mentioning how the harsh weather extremes …
