What Happens When We Stop Listening

Posted on May 6, 2022 by Real Women

The Blue Pit Crew

Posted on March 16, 2022 by Real Women

Lost Skills

Posted on April 5, 2020 by Real Women

I’ve been hesitant to do any blog writing recently, because it seems there is only one topic any of us are able discuss.  It begins with P and ends in -ic.  It has consumed us in more ways than one, … Continue reading →

Nothin’ to see here

Posted on February 3, 2020 by Real Women

Anytime we put a lot of time, money, skill or energy into something, we naturally want to reap the rewards and satisfaction of our efforts.  We want our work to be noticed, appreciated, or admired.  We lose 20 pounds, we … Continue reading →

How About Now?

Posted on January 4, 2019 by Real Women

Identification by Affiliation

Posted on September 24, 2018 by Real Women

No One Told Me….

Posted on April 12, 2018 by Real Women
