What do you love about you?
My eagerness to learn new things and to expand myself.
What brings you to body diaries?
Me. It's mine. : )
About Me:
I'm GoddessMonica, for the sake of this website anyway. My friend, Harlot, and I have been brainstorming this site for awhile now. It is bound to go through changes, just like women do. We plan to keep growing and learning from our mistakes. But, ultimately, we want a home for all the phenomenal women we've encountered in our lives.
I'm a stay-at-home mom of 2 bright children. I'm married to the best guy on the planet. We've been married for 12 years and we're still wild about each other.
I have a lot of life experience including formal education, many different jobs and knowledge I've picked up along the way.
I live inside my head a lot, and this is a chance to put it all out there.

This is Your Nation on White Privilege

By Tim Wise [white anti-racist activist & writer]
9/13/08
.
For those who still can't grasp the concept of white privilege, or
who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples
of it, perhaps this list will help.
.
White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like
Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that
of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right
to judge you or your parents, because "every family has challen-

Day 2 of Quitting

I pretty much breezed through the first day of not smoking. I had a few cravings, but they quickly passed.

Today is a whole different story.

I'm using these lozenges like they're going to make me smarter. I'm still rockin' the patch, but the cravings are vicious!

I also feel like I'm in a fog. My thoughts are so cloudy. My head hurts. My jaw hurts from clenching my teeth. My gums burn from the lozenges. My coffee tastes weird.

Eric asked me if I wanted some wine. I about cried. Yes. I want a… Continue

The First 24 Hours

I made it through the first 24 hours. From my past experiences with quitting, I should be freaking out right now and ready to cave.

Not today.

I armed myself with a myriad of smoking cessation aides. I have lozenges, patches and gum. Right now I'm rockin' the patch/lozenge combo. The patches irritate my skin and the lozenges, like the gum, taste like roasted butthole. (Thanks for that metaphore, Jen!) They are minor annoyances I can live with in order to succeed in being smoke-free.

My son, w… Continue

Time to Quit

Tonight is the eve of a huge life event. I'm quitting smoking tomorrow. I've had this quit date in my head for about 3 weeks.

I have smoked most of my life. Cigarettes have become my friends. They are there all the time when I'm happy, sad, angry, stressed. They've accompanied my phone calls. They're always up for having a drink. And they've been my company with morning coffee for years. I've liked them. But the bitches are trying to kill me.

Three weeks ago I went to the doc for an x-ray of m… Continue

Are Our Children Really That Bored?

I grew up with a not-so-active mom, an absent dad and a step dad I didn't want to be around.

Summer was a time to entertain myself. I climbed trees. I read books. I painted. I rode my bike. I worked in the garden. When I was a kid my mom didn't do things like take us to the pool. We went to parks once in awhile. We didn't really go to carnivals. I didn't go to camp. I didn't take lessons of any kind. I didn't do sports. We didn't go on vacations.

I made up for all of this when I was a teenager… Continue

Thanks !!! You have a beautiful page....I read the article in your blog about "White Privilege"...Although it was well written, I totally disagree...Being White is a privilege...but I would feel that way about myself if I were Black, Hispanic, Asian or any other ethnicity...Nowadays it seems like we as Whites are expected to apologize for our colour...I live in a place where many White people are so hung up on being politically correct that they make constant excuses for other peoples criminal behavior even at the risk of their own heath and safety...The media suppresses much...As for Palin, they should leave her kids out of the mire..They are no different than most American children...Palin should be chastised or admired according to her own political record...The fact that she thinks Witches are evil and need to be exorcised is disturbing...The fact that she has orchestrated the slaughter of thousands of animals needs to be addressed and dealt with...But her kids should be off limits...I would love to interview Sarah Palin...If nothing else, she is very intriguing...Anyhow, many thanks for the welcome...and have a blessed day...Love & Peace, Mary Ellen...
