–Liz (one of the many oh-so-unfortunate but oh-so-wise and now bankrupted cancer bloggers) gets invited to a chi-chi “The Art of Being Human” workshop<\/a>. She turns down the opportunity because she’s already become human by sitting in the waiting rooms with the other folks who aren’t adequately insured:<\/p>\n

“These ugly, drab, grungy, noisy, cluttered, crowded, smelly, uncomfortable [hospital waiting] rooms are the “workshops” where I learned to sit in perfect stillness for eight hours or more. This is where I learned to transcend my own jumbled thoughts, desires, physical pains, and frantic emotions; to tune out the noisy world blaring its distracting Regis Philbins and Bob Barkers and Judge Judys; to let go of striving for goals, to abandon hope of fruition; to feel at one with my fellow sufferers; to wait in utter stillness, with Cosmic patience, compassion, and a quiet empty mind.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

–The Books That Changed Our Lives<\/a>: Six feminists discuss the books that rocked their worlds:<\/p>\n

“When I first saw my mother’s copy of Naomi Wolf’s The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty are Used Against Women<\/span>, I remember being a little afraid of the cover, which featured a picture of a bizarre woman-like mask reflected in a compact mirror. Being the morbidly curious 13-year-old that I was though, I picked it up. I’ve never read a book faster.
Almost immediately, I was confronted with ideas that made sense of the thoughts I’d been having – that I wasn’t good enough, pretty enough, smart enough. It was such an incredible feeling to know that so many of my insecurities weren’t really about me, but were manifestations of a culture hell-bent on keeping women in their place.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

–A musing on aging and sex from La Vie en Rose<\/a>, where she writes: “I firmly believe that women who have good sex can change the world.”
Amen to good sex and changing the world, sister!<\/p>\n

–Spend a peaceful moment with Maddie at Persisting Stars as she discusses tea<\/a> and poetry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

–I am just sick of never-ending car repairs and paying waaayyy-too-much at the pump. I am just so close to giving up the car altogether (and proud to report that I’ve only used it twice this week–to go to yoga and once to my son’s school). I loved this article about another OC family who gave up their car<\/a> and has no regrets…<\/p>\n

–You know, of course, that all good bookstores have kitties. But did you know that Powells<\/a>‘ cat, Fup, has his adventure saga <\/a>that you can subscribe to via email? Yah.<\/p>\n

–Move Over ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day,’ The 24th Day of the Tenth Month is now “International Talk A Quaker Day<\/a>.” Thou art forewarned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
