Just last week I broke out my heavy scarf, and today I realized I will soon need thermals under my jeans. My friends, Winter is on its way. The rhythm of the natural word effects our physical, emotional, and spiritual lives. We show a little skin in the Summer, and hibernate in the Winter. We fall in love during Spring fever, and feel full of gratitude in the Fall. Each sacred season brings us blessing and challenges — mind, body, and soul — and isn't it great to have wise friends along for the journey?

It's official. Oprah's favorite new gadget is Amazon's Kindle ebook reader. I've secretly been lusting after an ebook reader for awhile now, you know in that "if I had a money tree" kind of way.

What do you think of when I say "Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder?" Do you think of summer afternoons reading about little Laura, her family and their adventures on the prairie? Do you think of the TV show starring Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert and Melissa Sue Anderson? Do you think Twitter? Yeah, you heard me, Twitter. Hold onto your bonnets, people 'cause you remember sweet little Laura? Well she's a 21st century lady now and that means she's on Twitter.

Using Perez as a case study, and basing my opinion of the entertainment media solely on the fifteen seconds of his site that I can stand, let me just say that between the commentary on Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, I've learned that sexism is not only alive and well in this country, but its cleverly disguised as political humor. Yes, I'm cynical, but there's no mistaking that calling someone "hot" in a condescending manner is a newly discovered way of putting someone down politically. Just think what would have happened if she'd been hot and poorly dressed?
