• For Our Daughters

    This is a song I wrote from my personal experience with relational aggression.

  • Double Dragon

    The Double Dragon is an appropriate symbol for the topic of covert aggression and empowerment - two heads coming out of one body.

    For in truth, the dragons exist one within the other, as both aggression and empowerment exist within each person.

    Relational aggression isn't so much about a specific person, a "bitch" we love to hate, as much as a state of mind; a set of choices we all can make.

    The possibility for their manifestation exists in every person. Some people do play the role of aggressor as opposed to target, but to become an aggressor is only a choice away for each one of us.

    Be willing then, to see yourself, if only in potential, in both roles - aggressor and target. Doing so will give you insight and understanding, and with that, true empowerment.

A town where a 13-year-old girl hanged herself after falling victim to a "cyber-bullying" campaign has become the first in America to criminalise internet ... Read More

A Worthwhile Endeavor
Woo Hoo! I worked on the not-working email feature until 3:30 a.m. and then got up at 6:15 for my job. Tackled it all day today, and I think now, finally, I have it all in order. Didn't have to downgrade, at all. I messed around with two new plugins, ... Read More
