Women At Play


Esther at the Buckhorn Saloon
Many, many years ago someone handed me a copy of Gloria Steinem’s Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions. It was a great read then and I have the desire to find it and re-read it again. The message from that book that I still carry with me today is that we need to rebel a little bit every day. Challenge the status quo. Question authority. Laugh at adversity. Live up to Steinem’s quote:
“We are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud.”
Acts of rebellion don’t have to be acts of anger. They can be acts of playfulness, laughter (in a world where there are a lot of things not so funny), the joy of being physically active, dancing, playing music, goofing off. I love to see women laugh and play and just have fun. So I decided to post up some pictures of that. As some of you will notice, my beautiful daughter is prominently featured. I can’t help myself. I love her physical manifestation of joy. She is my own personal reminder of the importance of play.
