Called me out.

Dec. 7, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

So I'm behind a few days worth of posts, but it's been an interesting few days. Larry and I (again) had another long discussion (read: late-night argument) about this rock and a hard place location I'm in where I need to find a job that actually stimulates and fulfills me but has … Read More »

I need a change.

Nov. 24, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I've felt stagnant lately. Perhaps it's the change of season. Perhaps it's my lack of periods- the months just blur into one another. Perhaps it's a matter of taking myself out of the elements that remind me of my infertility on a daily basis- I need to detach from the spaces I'm … Read More »

Thanksgiving is a complicated holiday for me.

Nov. 23, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I *love* Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday of the entire year. My second favorite? Passover... which may as well be Jewish Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving b/c I like sitting down with my family, breaking out the good dishes, breaking out the nice wine glasses, and when I … Read More »

Why all the hate on women’s health?

Nov. 20, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I'm hoppin' mad about the state of women's health care in this country right now. Recently, a national task force has made recommendations made about mammograms in women over 40. Today, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has made recommendations to … Read More »

Is the chalice is half empty or half full?

Nov. 20, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Allow me to indulge in a little tarot and my inner Goddess. This past Monday I went to the Salem Red Tent Temple. I've been a few times, and a good friend of mine (let's call her Honeybee) is one of the organizers. The concept is simple: mirror the ancient practice of women … Read More »

Nov. 10, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

A truly restorative weekend.

Nov. 9, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

The RESOLVE of the Bay State Annual Conference on Saturday was just amazing. I'm so glad Larry and I went - we did some seriously deep soul-searching, some crying (well, I did the crying), and engaged in some very cathartic dialogue with people who get it - who really understand … Read More »

Yes, I’m still here

Nov. 5, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I've just been trying to regain steam to post- I don't want to let this journal fall to the wayside (like I've basically let my personal LJ just kind of putter around for the last 3 years). Anywho... here's what's new in life:2 weeks ago: Japan was amazing. 2 weeks, 7 cities, … Read More »
