I was a woman moving silently through the women's movement.

Dear Babyboomers of all ages

It was my salvation at the time and I guess still is. I'm in a bigger, newer version today, but I still have my place to go. I never really entered the work world in the traditional sense. I never encountered all that you write about because in fact I created my own perfect job where I was chief, cook and bottle washer. No glass ceiling or harrassment for me. I took all the things I love; fashion, design, photography, marketing, writing and created a job. Then I hired myself. In my heart I know I'm the only one I could have worked for. I was a woman moving silently through the women's movement. C, I really need a loom to lean over and a cup of coffee to continue this discussion. It is so complex and I fear a topic that has gone by the wayside for alot of women, young and old alike. I will continue my crusade to enlist COGGERS to join us in our virtual niddy noddy world. Cog on!

Clara - I had actual, not virtual goosebumps when I read this. R, I need a loom to lean on too. Your description is powerful and inspiring, where you demonstrate that you have achieved what most people dream about ie creating your own perfect job and hiring yourself, thereby the job becoming an extension of you.

It brings up the eternal question in my mind - "What am I going to be when I grow up?" ...............

Perhaps a writer........... Maybe I am already doing it by being a COGGER, where I can pull together the strands of my life, and create new ones, such as photography and marketing. Who would ever have thought that i would find so much pleasure/passion in doing this - it's all about communicating - with the computer being the very clever tool.

Great to see signs of Spring. How quickly it happens. Autumn is glorious here - the humidity has gone, the sun still hot with welcome coolness in the air. Great for gardening, not that these need much looking after. Cheers Clara

Welcome to my journey as I photograph something I create everyday for a year... RRT
