This is the second entry in a section called an &#;Alpha-biography.&#; The exercise is to work through the alphabet, commenting on a word that connects somehow to your world. My students are doing this in English 9 this semester, and I am modelling it by creating my own alpha-biography. For myself, I will be focusing on how I am interpreting, synthesizing and contemplating the Greek/Roman gods as I&#;ve been exploring them in the process of crafting the Grace Awakening series. (I&#;m working backwards, so that in the blog they&#;ll eventually appear A-Z instead of Z-A, as they end up ordered by time).
Sometimes I feel like young love coloured my entire world. I am not alone. I speak to a lot of women who are very nostalgic about the first person to whom they opened their heart. Some had negative experiences, I suppose, but I seem to meet a lot of people whose first love set them on a course of self-respect and happiness. I hope that means the negative experiences are fewer than the positive ones. Perhaps it’s just that with the span of years, one begins to find the positives, even if they hadn’t been noted previously?

I think a good young love is one that remains a fond memory throughout your life. If you take the issues and troubles, and learn fro

I quite like Vesta. She is the hearth goddess, the one who keeps the home fires burning. Vesta is a virgin goddess, but she is &#;mom&#; to the rest of the gods.
On Mother&#;s Day, the sweet and mushy cards abound and they mostly seem to envision the same mother, devoted and appreciated. But mothers are women, and they are diverse!
I have 6 mothers.
First, I have the mother who carried me, thoroughly nauseated and regretting the idea, within her body and who raised me. She is a creator mother. She makes clothes, quilts, jewelry, tapestries, sweaters, and good food. She gardens, and eats her harvest, while her flowers are admired by neighbours. She has had four children, each quite different in outlook. She cares for them with gifts of time and talent.
Next, I have the four Finnish host mothers who sheltered me on my youth exchange:
The first, was like Vesta. She was a nurse who had raised five amazing children, and she welcomed me into her embrace with a loving care that overwhelmed me with its sweetness. She patiently listened each evening, sitting with me and asking me to describe my day and the news from home. With my growing Finnish vocabulary, funny drawings and a Finnish English dictionary as a last resort, I learned to communicate wi
