The unquenchable desire: On the compulsion for more, more, more

February 1, 2013

0

Desire is unquenchable. Likewise, it is our attachment to things that causes suffering. Learn to detach from desire, and you’re on your way to enlightenment. Or, so I’ve been told. These days I’ve been thinking a lot about attachments and desires and, well, stuff. All the stuff. From all the shoes that fall out of […]

The Girl Scouts: On leadership, inclusiveness, and cookies

January 31, 2013

1

With the news that The Boy Scouts of America is toying with ending its discriminatory policy against GBT (and presumably L) people, I can’t help but compare them to The Girl Scouts of the USA. In fairness, I must admit up front that I am an alum of the organization. But that’s not enough to […]

On Thanksgiving and giving back

November 22, 2012

0

Today is Thanksgiving and I hope it is a lovely one for you, filled with laughter and love as well as something yummy in your tummy. Eat some turkey and pie for me — the reluctant, accidental vegan with so many food allergies I can hardly keep track. But at least I have me some […]

Physical therapy

June 6, 2012

4

About a month ago I started doing physical therapy. Like most forms of therapy, it’s a time-intensive, difficult, and sometimes intense process. Emphasis on process. And while I went through physical therapy once before, in my 20s for a problem with my shoulder, this time around has been a much more emotional — and enlightening […]

My so-called vegan life

May 1, 2012

0

I’m not exactly sure what day I became a vegan, but it was around this time last year that I realized I was a vegan. An accidental vegan, for sure, because I never intended it to happen. I use the term less as a badge of my identity and more as a short-hand for what […]

I’ll be a vegan for Thanksgiving: Food, memories, and grieving the loss of taste

November 23, 2011

1

I am someone who loves to eat. I come from Polish/German cattle farmers who made at least three kinds of meat for breakfast (I am not exaggerating). In a past life, even though I have lived with food allergies for years, it would have been nothing for me to eat an entire package of Hagen […]

Oops! Happy Anniversary!

November 22, 2011

0

Oh boy. I’ve been so busy stirring up controversy over on my other blog, The Sin City Siren, that I’ve been neglecting The Tired Feminist! It ain’t easy being a one-woman show! And this blog’s name is truth in advertising; I am tired! But can it be that I completely forgot the first anniversary of […]

The healing power of love

August 11, 2011

8

Consider this fair warning: This post is going to have warm squishy feelings and talk about spiritual matters. So if that’s not your thing, best to scroll on to the next one. I have been doing some soul-searching lately. Well, maybe that’s not exactly right. What I’ve been searching for are answers, guidance, help, solutions […]

Our tweets, ourselves

July 22, 2011

Are you doing something that is triggering someone you know with an eating disorder? Take a second and think about that. What about in your online life? What do your updates on Facebook and twitter say to the world about weight, body image, working out, eating and other related issues? I started thinking about this […]
