A Site for Sore Eyes…. Why I am a feminist…. My Transition… →. A new normal…. June 1, 2013. Last Sunday afternoon I went for lunch in one of our women’s homes. Delicious chicken curry, fresh mangoes, spicy dhal. She is a woman I respect and love. She has been through more than one life should be able to bear. She loves the people around her with devotion, albeit at times a bit twisted and confused. She is a connector and a protector. Her little room is located on the far hallway of a second story brothel.

Why I am a feminist… | A Site for Sore Eyes...

A Site for Sore Eyes…. A new normal… →. Why I am a feminist…. May 21, 2013. I’m not a man hater. In fact, I hope to marry one someday. I’m not into burning my brasit’s the only sexy secret I get to keep in a country bent on modesty. But I do call myself a feminist. I care about all people, treated as people. As equal heartbeats. I’m talking about respect, not who can win an arm wrestling match. And living in India, has made me all the more sure. AMC’s Mad Men, live. Everyday. Protection against the good.

I sit here tonight, four days before i depart this country…thankful…so incredibly thankful. I am a woman aware. i’d not be where i am today had i not experienced all that this cup had offered me…. I sit in awe at the love i have received, and the love i have learned resides within. My own dark heart revealed and saved. I fell in love here. To my family at Sar...

A Site for Sore Eyes…. A new normal…. The final say. →. June 6, 2013. To pursue these dreams, I have made the decision alongside my community to return to school for my master’s in trauma psychology starting in the Fall of 2014. I will be going on Sabbatical starting this August and will be resigning from WMF after my sabbatical is done in April 2014. Through Spain, in Sept/Oct and then relocating to Jacksonville to spend my remaining months preparing for school. Although I am leaving Kolkata, I am still...

A Site for Sore Eyes…. Why I am a feminist… →. April 28, 2013. I’ve always loved a good one. i remember sitting on my bedroom floor listening to my mom read me “Where the Red Fern Grows” before i could read myself…both of us crying when they had to bury the doggies…(sorry, yes, the dogs die…). The people we have become, because of our stories. Gifts to one another, woven together. Today I am thankful. For the chance to look back. For the chance to know and be known, by many who don’t even s...Perhaps tho...

A Site for Sore Eyes…. Newer posts →. February 28, 2013. It took me 8 months, to even think about Rina’s death. And another 4 to bring me to this moment. A year later. Willing to soften, and feel, and remember. Last night I felt an old familiar pull, tugging away at the cusp of my mind…raspy and coercive, trying to betray my softened heart…the only way to feel safe it to be strong, wall up, shut down, it said…and I almost listened…. January 30, 2013. As I wondered back to our office I passed a street lin...
