About Me

I am the Mother of two great adult children, Elizabeth 27 years, and Scott 24 years. On September 4, 2010 I gained a new son-in-law in the family - Josh. I look forward to the new adventures this brings our family! I find it difficult to be a human "being" versus a human "doing" and strive to find a peace and serenity.

If you had your own reality show, what would it be called? What would it be about? Who would the main characters be? #postaday2011

I would never have my own reality show. I can't find the value is reality shows, don't understand the concept or attraction to them, and just simply think they are silly.

But I suppose I must step outside of this perspective and stretch my creative thinking a bit. So here it goes....

It would be called, "Do you know what that is an example of?"

It would be about patriarchy - the system we have been brought up in and intentionally trained to ignore.

The main characters would be the public. I would like to take the show into a variety of institutions to get perspective of how patriarchy remains present in our day to day interactions. I would like to portray politics, business, education, religious, and social settings on the show.

Following an example of "Do you know what that is an example of?" the people in the situation would be given an opportunity to critically examine interactions, perceptions, beliefs, attitudes and actions and collectively develop an alternative approach.

I know the reality of this reality show is not likely. I like thinking it could be possible.
