Political talk notes a “war on women.” That leads to talk of mommy wars. Remember those? Evidently they aren’t much of a thing anymore. Girls today believe they will work to provide for a family.

January is chock-full of political happenings. A voyeur, this girl loves to watch faces and reactions in debates, speeches and news conferences. I am especially keen on watching the people behind the people. When Boehner resigned in September, my thoughts were not with the stability of the House.

Yoga is on the menu this week. It’s an attempt to say yes, (remember Shonda’s challenge for the year?) and to wrestle back control from cancer, the gift that keeps on giving.
