WHAT IS IT about the human condition that we can never treasure the age we’re in? This problem is not just confined to rapidly sagging, middle-aged people (like me). It strikes our progeny, too, though sometimes in unexpected ways. [click to continue…]

I CAN’T SAY I wasn’t warned. Sheilaa Hite, our lovely in-house (in-blog?) astrologer-extraordinaire, told us all to be careful. [click to continue…]

I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY PARENTS who felt (with guilt aplenty, of course) that they wished their children, sometimes, you know, just for a moment, time to collect one’s thoughts, or maybe just form a thought…could you all, please, just for a second, BE QUIET? Apparently, this is a sibling issue, too. [click to continue…]

RIVALRY? HA. THAT’S teeny, tiny potatoes. My resident little sister and big brother have tabled competition, in favor of all out war. It’s looking like Afghanistan in my house: no end in sight. [click to continue…]

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, my mother did a ton of needlework. She’s a master seamstress, quilter, you name it, and for a time, she taught a group of Seventh Day Adventist missionaries how to make cloth dolls for children in Central America.

I FIND MYSELF DRAWN to art evoking sister imagery, like that of LISA CONGDON.
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project 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 on our homepage 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: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
