Sister Goddess Patty, Age 54 I was born in a car in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on my way to the hospital. In those days (1960), since my mother gave birth before arriving at the hospital, I was considered “contaminated” and had to stay in the room with her instead of the nursery. She had often told...

It’s February. I hate February. Actually, it’s bigger than that. It’s winter I hate. Winter pisses me off. Cold. Grey skies, short days. Losing gloves. Black ice.

Ok, ok, ok. Enough already with the resolutions and goals and intentions and desires. I, personally, have no urge to improve or change, or upgrade myself. I just want to take a moment and celebrate. Myself. And YOU. Seriously – this won’t take long and then we can head right back and join all our...

One of the first things that happens for a woman when she engages in sisterhood is a sense of connection with women, everywhere. Do you feel it? I am so grateful, daily, for the support and love we generate for one another inside this community. And today, in the midst of this holiday season, I...
