Day 6: Life and Liberty

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 7:00 am By Sarah Babbs

Today I am grateful that I live in a nation where I am free to cast my vote for the candidates I see fit without fear of violence or recrimnation. I am grateful that I can proudly take my Catholic conscience into the voting booth with me. I feel gratitude for the women who worked so hard to earn me the right to vote. I am grateful to the feminist foremothers for their struggle, their sacrifices, and for their pro-life... Read more

Since there’s 7 of them, today’s quick takes will count as my gratitude posts for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So what I am I grateful for this weekend? 7. The big c. Clomid, that is. Today is day three of my first round of the big c. I’m taking a super low dose of 25 mgs, to be upped to 50 mgs next cycle as long as I don’t go insane before then. So far, so good. No hot flashes...

Happy Feast of All the Saints! This is my favorite “ordinary time” feast of the year. I love the month of November in our Church because it is the month of all saints and all souls. Friends, I love the month of all souls because I know so many dead people. We always make our prayer area into a place to remember our dearly departed during the month of November, with photos and holy cards from the funeral masses of... Read more

7. I don’t know about you all, but I cannot wait for this election cycle to be over. Seriously. Whenever they talk I am reminded of that scene from Billy Madison: “At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room… is now dumber… for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.” Exactly. 6. In... Read more

There Is No Solution

Last updated on: October 24, 2012 at 5:35 pm By Sarah Babbs

At some point, you start to feel like banging your head against a wall. You do everything right. You take the medication, you lose weight and keep it off. You start training to walk a half-marathon. But your jacked up ovaries and your broken body still don’t work. You turn yourself into a human pin cushion, blood draws every other day for a month in the hopes of getting answers. But no real answers come. No matter how hard you... Read more

7. What did you all think about Mary’s post on Wednesday? I loved it! She did a great job explaining the terms and giving ideas for small steps to infuse social justice into something as basic as our food choices. Thanks again, Mary! Look for more guest posts in the future about other issues connected to food and justice. 6. Maggie woke up on Tuesday and decided she loves preschool. That morning she did not shed one tear while we... Read more

You Are What You Eat

Last updated on: October 3, 2012 at 8:00 am By Sarah Babbs

Today’s post is the first in a semi-regular series on how food and eating can either further or hinder social justice. This post is from Mary, whom I know from grad school, and who writes a wonderful blog about food issues at Peas and Justice. Mary lives in an intentional community with her husband and works for a community garden. Eating is a political act. I remember not understanding this statement when I first heard it. I thought eating was... Read more
