REMINDER!!
INTERNATIONAL WOMAN'S DAY BLOG PARTY
MARCH 8, 2009

I was going to make a list of my Top 10 Inspirational Women and post one a day with my #1 choice appearing March 8. Alas, since February only had 28 days I got confused when to start. And, sadly, even though I made the list several times in the hours I've spent in hospital waiting rooms in the past few days, I've either misplaced it or forgotten who's on the list.

I think I've made this way harder than it needs to be. Maybe I should take my own advice. When my sister said she's not a writer, I told her all she needed to do was add name the person. It is, after all, about recognition not writing. (Tell that to this twitter-challenged author!)

I hope you've been thinking about your selection(s) and will add it to the comment section of this blog on Sunday. Spread the word. The more the merrier.

Looking forward to a day honoring women,
Merry ME

Fire Byrd, et al,
Heavens above women who are long dead make up some of my most inspirational choice. Maybe the impact they had on your life is removed by a generation or two but impact nonetheless. Maybe the impact is genetic, or historical or scientific. Please add anyone to your list that you feel worthy - for whatever reason you feel her worthy.

IWD Blog Party is about honoring women, not following rules!

UPDATE:  I'll be picking a winner on Thanksgiving Day. So make a donation and leave your name in the comment section below.  ME UPDATE:  I see a tiny problem but it should be easy to fix. Commenting anonymously doesn't get your name in the drawing. And there's no way to tell Anonymous A from Anonymous B. Are you different or the same? I need to be able to get back in touch with you somehow. We can exchange email addy's later. But please at least leave your name. If you still comment as Anonymous, just say your name in the comment.  You can use first name and last initial. Or last name alone. Or an Alias. Just so I can get your name in the hat. And really, thank you. Thank you again and again.

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur
