I was angry, really angry. And sad. It had been a long and exhausting day. As a WAHM/SAHM, I was able to watch much of the coverage on TV, and thus had been engrossed with what was happening all day. It was triggering for me, as it was for so many women. Me too. I’d […]

How are you feeling? What are your plans for tomorrow? Welcome to the fourteenth edition of my “Gatekeeping” blog series. I shared the back story of these simple and yet powerful questions in this post. It’s been well over a year since we last did some Gatekeeping here.

This week I have immersed myself in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s new book What Happened, about her experience with the 2016 Presidential Primary and Election, including why she didn’t win the electoral college and lots of inside scoop on what it was like behind the scenes of her campaign. I’ve struggled with what happened every day […]
