For Mary H. Lynch (12.1.47-1.27.2011) And you were always my sister… This is not my body, this frozen ground; no, my body is a field of flowers waking. This is not my body, this drifting wood; my body is a splitting sea, all brine magic and wingspan. Not mine, not mine, this haunted ruin that […]
Why do I rodeo? What made me want to wrestle steers? How in the world did I choose to do THAT activity? People not involved in the western lifestyle want to know. And, my answer is simply “Why not?” Let me explain this first: I did not grow up around livestock or on a ranch or farm. […]
I am busy. Very busy. I feel like I am producing comedy shows almost 24/7. I just finished Titanic The Musical as an actress, to take a break from comedy – but the money was so bad, I have to double my efforts now to get back what I lost taking my break. I totally […]

When I moved to Maine from New York, I didn’t introduce myself in terms of sexual identity. I wasn’t hiding. The question just didn’t feel pressing. A relationship of fifteen years had ended, and I didn’t want another. I had come to Maine to finish several manuscripts begun over my years of activism, scholarship, and […]
Applause and a standing ovation to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon! In a speech given March 7, 2012 at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, he stood his ground on the violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation. While he stood before the council and spoke to what the council’s purpose was, […]
“A Perfect Ending” is so close we can taste it. All the final touches are being added and we hope to be up on the big screen this summer ready to knock your socks off – literally. There is so much to be grateful for, especially the ‘Soul Kiss’ Film Family, who have come together […]
I just got back from the 2012 International AA Women’s Conference. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s an annual gathering of sober women and it’s held in a different city each year. I’ve been to 19 of these meetings in places from Anchorage to Orlando, Portland to New York and Midwest cities in between. […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
