2009: Year of the Ox
By Sheilaa Hite
THE YEAR 2009 IS THE YEAR OF THE OX in the Chinese zodiac, the same sign that our new President, Barack Obama, was born into. It’s his year and it’s our year, too–to all make the best of. During this year of the Ox, we will be called upon to work hard to clear up the mistakes of the past and create a solid foundation for building our future. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves, no-frills year that with focus and diligence will produce the solid, profitable results we want. We can best avoid conflicts by being patient with the processes of creativity, being clear in our communication with others and not “sweating’” the small stuff.

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
