About Me

My photo
Born in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, I am a genuine Florida Cracker--a descendent of sturdy women and men who farmed their way south from North Carolina in the early 1800's. I am a graduate of Florida State University with a BS in Social Science, and earned an MA in Education/Storytelling from East Tennessee State University. My work is deeply influenced by a love and reverence for the natural world and environmental issues and my love of story. Performance Photos by Valerie Menard, Silentlightimages.com.

Equal pay for equal work in America

Whether we like it or not, women still earn a lot less than men, often for the same work. It's time we made some noise like our ancestral sisters did when they demanded the vote, or when our sister Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus.  Thank goodness for a president who speaks for the people, whether the people choose to listen or not. Equal rights belong to all of us--male, female, black or white and no matter where your ancestors came from.

Hooray for President Obama--let equal rights reign!
