Invisible Chains – Part 2

Photo by Mika Banmeister This whole thing is surrealistic to me… and yet in some ways I must have had a sense this was coming. Eight years ago when I began writing my book, I was inspired to dedicate the entire last section of the book to examining how women have been created… Not by […]

Reflections on Crossing Over
