NaBloPoMo: Energy From Sisterhood

Wrapping up LGBTQ 2012 With The Correspondents

I tossed out some questions for the team to answer. 1. What LGBTQ news story from 2012 resonated the most deeply with you and why?   Trish – Marriage equality coming to Maine, Maryland and Washington, maybe because 2012 was the year when I got married (after years of thinking I never would).

NaBlogPoMo: Energy Consumption

So today’s “prompt” Wednesday, January 2, 2013 Which daily tasks take up the most of your energy? This is an interesting question. My instant reaction was to list the tasks that I dislike, but procrastination is the real energy suck in those cases – when I just go ahead and do them, tis fine. On […]
