Restore the Voting Rights Act
Restore the Voting Rights Act

Warning: This post will be a bit lengthy and will take time to digest, but it’s worth the read. For those who want…

VOTER SUPPRESSION 101
Voter Suppression. It’s something I hadn’t spent much time thinking about until this election cycle. The GOP has driven so far to the right that their base threw up their hands and went for a non-politician. The Democratic Party also shifted so far to the right that a progressive movement rose up and got behind the campaign of a not-widely known Senator from Vermont. Big money and Super Pacs…

I recently conducted a workshop on improving self-confidence at the University of San Diego’s Women’s Center. I had about an hour to condense a broad topic into a crash course.

WWBD- What Would Batman Do?
WWBD- What Would Batman Do?

NOT ME,US- THE SANDERS CAMPAIGN
NOT ME,US- THE SANDERS CAMPAIGN
This week I went to the San Diego Convention Center on Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. I’m a veteran of many Comic-Cons, so it was eerie to walk along a nearly-deserted sidewalk and go right into the building. Inside, things got a bit more familiar. There was a roped off area inhabited by about 20 people. I assessed the situation and claimed a spot against a wall to support my back, near 3…

WHY FACTS DON'T MATTER
WHY FACTS DON’T MATTER
When it comes to making an impression in a speech, one of the most important things to remember is that people don’t care about facts. What? That can’t be right! You might be thinking. Here’s an example: I recently heard a speech by a businessman who owns his own company.

BLOGGING FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION: ONE YEAR LATER
BLOGGING FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION: ONE YEAR LATER
One year ago today I got a phone call no one should ever receive. I’d lost a close friend to suicide. I assisted her family by taking over her legal practice and obligations, attended the informal memorial service put on by her friends, because her family couldn’t bring themselves to have one, and learned more about her end days. She’d kept her friends separate, like corn silos in a field, so her…

Cabin in the Woods 2015
Cabin in the Woods 2015
Once upon a time there was a cabin built on a pine tree-dotted mountain in Northeastern Arizona. At first, it was a simple A-frame used as a summer home, a respite from the heat of a California desert residence. When my parents retired there, some rooms were added, one filled with windows to let in the sun. It provided a peaceful place to watch birds enjoy the plentiful food provided year round.…
