“Though we tremble before uncertain futures
may we meet illness, death and adversity with strength
may we dance in the face of our fears.”
”
― Gloria E. Anzaldúa

Public sphere, I admit, I have neglected you, but it was all within reason. . .I had a tough quarter and trying to balance motherhood, spousehood (it is a word–:)), me-hood and grad school has proven to be extremely difficult. I am officially done with my Winter quarter as of 20 minutes ago. Yes, I’ve emailed my conference paper and took a final yesterday. I am done! I thought I’d share a quote from a new author I’ve discovered this quarter. Her writing is amazing, especially her book “Borderlands/La Frontera.” Amazing!

May we all meet life’s difficulties with STRENGTH!
