<span style="background-color: #f6f7f8; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.08px;">The uterus is a womb with a view - of earth and spirit, sea and sky. It is our common ancestral space from which we emerged in our own uniqueness. The uterus was our first earthbound home and will be the home of others for generations to come. It rests in the space below heart; supporting and nurturing our heritage, contribution, and often our legacy.</span><br />

It has been a long time since I have posted on this site.<br />
I have been pre occupied with my baby granddaughter.<br />
Having a baby woman enter into my life has caused me to reflect about women issues.<br />
<br />
<br />
I selected this selfie picture to manipulate into a work of art because I am fascinated with the deep wrinkles on my neck and face and the remarkable difference between the aged and the young. I'm at the end of my journey, and she is just beginning.<br />
<br />
I included the quotes in English and Swedish, since I am working towards entering this into a show with a group of women artists from Sweden.<br />
<br />
I'm very much an advocate for women and women's health concerns.<br />
<br />
Notice the tiny uterus under my name?<br />

Today is the first east coast Sit and Stitch facilitated by Iris. I'm not there! I'm finding creative ways to expand the project, and involve more through social networking. I wish them well today, and I'm looking forward to hearing what happens, and pictures to post of the event. </div>

Look at the detail on this small flag! This is done by a designer who knows her media. It's been years since I first gave this blank flag to her, and I just received it. It is definitely worth the wait.<br />

Today I am reflecting on The Uterus Flag Project. I started raising social consciousness about the uterus in 2010 when I hosted the first Sit and Stitch, at The Velvet Uterus. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I am encouraged by the vitality of women who are creating an awareness for women. </div>

I 'm conflicted.<br />
I like being a woman, but I've had cysts, fibroid, abnormal cells, and heavy periods. I'm over it.<br />
<br />
I'm proud of the fact that I had my tubes tied. I wanted that shown n my flag.<br />
<br />
I do not want children.<br />
<br />
But some seem to think that makes me less a woman.<br />

Mine has been gone so long I often forget I ever had one. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I was a bit surprised at my anger and total "good riddance" attitude. I don't want to think about or feel a need to mourn it. But I do do feel women are far too often cut open drugged, etc by male Doctors. </div>
