On Gandeb and uninviting your non-Halloween ghosts

Dear Ms./Mr. Awesomesauce (a.k.a. “you”),

Every bullet in “A woman’s strength” reflected a strength I have either evidenced or witnessed. And yet, there’s only so much that can be fit into one bullet.

On Friday, I posted the story behind one of the bullets that didn’t make it onto the typed list. There are a lot of bullets I left off that list, both from my own life and from the lives of women who have inspired and continue to inspire me.

“Boo YOU, motherfucker.” is not about Halloween, despite the “boo” in the title. If you haven’t already read it, I hope you’ll do so now.

It turns out you can scare away your ghosts.
