Making a choice / Faire le choix

An essential part of being human is feeling like you have choices, even if the choices aren’t always good.  Le choix fait partie essentielle de l’expérience humaine.  Et c’est le cas même si les choix qui vous sont présentés ne sont pas toujours bons.

Grateful

Altogether, 2011 has been a pretty good year.

“We don’t want to talk about it.”

It’s hard to be child-free in a child-full world, and sometimes the only way to be left in peace is to be proactive.

It’s not just about whether or not a person can have babies.

A Somewhat Secret Place

This month, I’m participating in A Somewhat Secret Place.  Curated by artist Catherine JH Miller, the show focuses on disability and its status in art and in society, issues that have become a lot more personal to me since I was diagnosed with a chronic illness in 2009.

Disability and my sense of self

I’m still very much learning just how my disability fits into my identity.

Treating endometriosis

As with many incurable chronic illnesses, the roller coaster of treatment options for endometriosis is almost worse than the disease itself.

Lutter contre l’endométriose

Des millions de femmes ont cette maladie mais la plupart des gens ne savent pas ce que c’est.  Cette ignorance est dangereuse pour beaucoup de femmes.

Why endometriosis awareness matters

Millions of women suffer from this disease but most people still don’t have any idea what it is.  That ignorance puts a lot more women in danger. 

Feminine

What does that word even mean?
