Becoming a Woman – Book Review

Last updated on: May 16, 2013 at 9:46 am   By Niki Whiting

I really wish I'd had a book on what it means to become a woman when I was 12. I felt shame when my cramps immobilized me. I just told people I was sick when I was found crawling on hands and knees to the nurse's office through my high school halls because I was unable to stand up. Read more

Cesarean awareness month

Last updated on: April 28, 2013 at 3:23 pm   By Sarah Whedon

April has been Cesarean Awareness Month. Why is there an awareness campaign for a common medical procedure? Because it’s way too common!

Enoughness

Last updated on: April 20, 2013 at 6:14 pm   By Priestess Molly

Molly reads the book More or Less for the Patheos book club and muses about "enoughness." "I often lament having a 'crisis of abundance'---TOO MANY GOOD THINGS TO DO.
