In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Why I Love 

Here's an example of why I love my guy. We went to dinner at Blossoming Lotus last night before my mindfulness-based cognitive therapy group (where I go to meditate, essentially). It started at 6:00, and I didn't want to be late and I didn't want to be early. (Call me Goldilocks.) So we left the restaurant and went to the car. It was 5:43. Mario put the keys in the ignition and was going to start the car. "Let's wait a bit," I said. "I don't want to be too early." So Mario started to get out the sudoku from the paper to do. I sat looking around. Then at 5:46, I said, "Okay, let's get going. I don't want to be late." Mario put the paper away and started the car. I said, "You know, I am a control freak." Mario said, "Naw, you're more of a control artist." I laughed. Yes, I will cop to that. I am a control artiste.

Love ya, babe.
