Thanks, grooveymom. Wow, you were only 11 - that must have been SO hard. Hopefully you've been able to hold some memories of her in your heart...did you have many pictures to remember her by?

I found the View All posts, and I figured out how to do my profile, so that's real progress right there, eh? ;)

Hope you have an awesome weekend, and if you're Canadian, have a great l-o-o-ong weekend!

Welcome to Blogher.....

http://www.grooveymom.blogspot.com Hi Wendy! You do have a great spirit! Good luck with your recovery....and keep up the fight! It's my biggest fear.....breast cancer. I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was 11 years old.......

as for blogher, I am fairly new to it as well, your post shows up on View all posts. When you are on the home page the posts shown are from the Blog editors...not sure how you become one of those....but if you click on view all posts, you can see all posts there. They are posted from the most current.....so to see yours go down and click on a few pages back to find it. If you have questions, just post them, people here are very eager to help.

Whee!

Hi Christinajeanne, you're the first person to comment on my posting . . . thank you! You should win something, I think. It's like you're the Welcome Wagon (er, do you know what that is? It used to be popular a long time ago but I dunno about now . . . ) I'm really new to this site, obviously, so not sure how you saw my posting - does it pop up somewhere under "new entries" or something? I also haven't figured out how to fill in my profile section yet . . . oh, well, all in good time! :)

Talk to you soon and thanks again,

Wendy

You have a great Spirit

I Would Have Love Seeing Anne Perform With Her Band

Gena Haskett — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:37:25 -0500

I learned reading the biographies that later in her career she hired a rock band to provide music behind her poems. Just from the video clip you can see she knew how to work an audience or a camera.

So much of our history lost.

Love Sexton! Love Plath!

kimsisto — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:19:49 -0500

Love Sexton! Love Plath! I love that these pioneers wrote down the raw honesty about mental illness, depression, abortion, lovers, and mostly, about being women in the 50's whom were misunderstood and disregarded. I would have adored having a glass of wine with Sexton just talking about Life, Sex, & Poetry. I think she would have been my kind of girl! Great article!

Transformations

debontherocks — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:48:13 -0500

Oh, Transformations--Sexton's re-interpretation of the Grimm fairytales--is one of my most favorite volumes of poems. Her examination of the freakish terrors inside our psyches, and of the way that stories are woven through the culture and into our own experiences, changed everything for me. Thanks for reminding me of her tonight.

Can We Be Sisters?

illuminatedwoman — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 00:39:29 -0500

The question of can we really be sisters is such a valuable question. I find that when women can stop judging ourselves, we can stop judging each other and we can unite and truly create change much deeper in our society. It's a conscious choice to shine rather than shrink back into the judgment of myself, what I am doing, what I'm not doing...

It's so much simpler to just BE and celebrate who I am. That is when I can truly celebrate others.

I love your conscious effort to release the competition by complimenting others. It goes such a long way. I'm going to adopt that too and be more aware of it. And let's start complimenting ourselves. How would that be? :)

To Your Illumination!

Angela

Such a touching story.......

MommyWriter — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 11:17:02 -0500

I can't imagine going through a situation like that. And I applaud you for being there to help your sister get clean. Sincerely - My hat's off to you.

And I can't begin to describe how inspiring your words are. I have always been a huge proponent for an illusive sisterhood that seemed impossible, or possibly just a figment of my imagination. Can we really be sisters? Can we really stop competing? Can we really stop judging and taking each other apart to build ourselves up? I started by paying women a compliment whenever I saw the chance...nice outift....nice shoes.....nice nails.....

I love the idea of Illumination. Shining brightly and helping others to shine.....Thank you for this.

You aren't going to have problems getting those rascals to talk to you.

If you hear my jaws a flapping come on over and say Hi. On the rare occasion they happen to be shut still come say Hi.
This is a new year, new opportunities. We can leave the frigging past where it is and do this different.

If it is near the time of Karaoke you might want to run in the opposite direction because I like to sing and can't carry a tune in a reinforced bucket.

Great post, Gina--and thank you for talking to me last year at '08. I wish I'd known you at '06 and '07 because--well, just because. There is something about this conference that taps into my deepest well of insecurity. I'm talking sternly to myself and hoping this year's experience is different.

I should get in the habit of Twittering this kind of stuff but I tend only to Tweet when I have something I want to say.

I hope to see and meet newbies and old hands on deck.

No, Really It Will Be Fine - Pace Yourself

Gena Haskett — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:36:45 -0500

This isn't going to be like Mom's Gone Wild, I think. Ok, let's just say that for some folks just the idea that they can take a bubble bath w/o having to respond to another person's needs is so much more of a draw than some classy party at a penthouse type thing.

The people, will be people. You might have to whisper Hello to your new friend but she'll perk up around 10am.

Don't worry. It will be fine. Deep breaths.
