My stance is that I will only support women candidates who support reproductive rights. It made me t...

My infatuation !!!!

A WORLD WITHOUT COLOR appears to be missing crucial elements. And indeed it is. Colors not only enable us to see the world more precisely, they also create emergent qualities that would not exist without them. Color is a sensation created in the brain. I am infatuated with color threading (my termin...

With all the controversy about the new Barbie movie I had to put in my 2 cents! I got my first Barbie doll when I was 7 or 8. It was the brunette bubble hairdo with a red bathing suit & my Father gave it to me for Valentines Day. It was love at first sight! My cousin who I think got the blonde ponyt...

I have been taking photo’s of these three kids (Ari, Royce and Ava) for the past three years. They each have bright, fun animated personalities. A photographers dream. Because they are so colorful in character I attempted to paint a caricature of each. I was pleasantly pleased with the outcome.

True yesterday. True today. True tomorrow.

In Pennsylvania since Roe was overturned 62% of Pennsylvania women registered as Democrats 15% as GOP & 54% were younger then 25. Women are ready & motivated to take back our rights, to have bodily autonomy & privacy! This is the beginning of a Women’s Wave!!

I have lived in the same wonderful neighborhood for 28 years. I have visited The Chain of Lakes many times. They are a stones throw from my house..(simply walk across the street).

WE Rock!

Disorienting over Women’s Rights I have been disorientated a lot since Friday, June 24th when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. How did this happen? How did we take our (real) eyes off what was happening? Are we passive? Are we delusional that things are better than they are? “It seems t...

Your Minds Eye & Pink Elephants...

MJFox 50 mile challenge.

No kidding….When I was diagnosed I was given this card to carry. I thought it “funny” when I got it, I still do, however, I am beginning to experience the WHY. There are times (OFF) when my gait gets somewhat erratic. It‘s not that I am unable to walk but I certainly would not pass “walk t...

We Won't go Back!

On Friday we heard the chant, ‘we won’t go back” at rallies all over the United States. In an era of regression & repression a woman’s right to choose her own healthcare has been obliterated. Now that the Supreme Court has issued its final decision we will need much more then that slogan. In...

Patti's Podium

In an article from late April 2022 Michael Cohen of MSNBC wrote, Governor De Santis is far more dangerous then Trump ever was & I completely agree. Cohen went on to say, De Santis has an ability to translate vindictiveness, cruelty and demagoguery into policy results. In the modern Conservative righ...
