(Did you see my new Sophia, “BlackSheep”?) Some things never change. Some people and churches actually believe this and administer it. And many people subscribe to it. There’s lots of guilt to go around. With leftovers! And oh, what you have to go through to get and keep your forgiveness! Well… you know what I mean. Read more
Purchase the original or a print of this Sophia drawing. Our Sophia continues her journey. She’s found a companion like her, a black sheep. I like the way she seems to be marching. She’s so confident. Bold! Defiant! Even if she is a black sheep, she takes that as a compliment. So she’s marching right out of darkness and into the light. As usual by the light of the moon with the wind at her back. Read more

As soon as Romney used the phrase “binders full of women” in the debate the other night, someone bought the domain name bindersfullofwomen.com. Funny. In the same debate he talked about allowing women to have flexible working hours so they could get home to cook supper. Language is so important. It isn’t just a tool of communication. If one listens carefully and hears between the lines, you can discern the underlying attitudes. Speech analysis is a fascinating field because it... Read more
