March is National Women’s History Month. We all have women we admire, some famous and some not. Whether from your personal life, the history books, or politics, who is a woman you admire? Why? Think back…What woman has had a great impact on your life? Share your story of that special woman forward

In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, “Beware the Ides of March” was the warning the soothsayer gave to Caesar. His assassination on March 15th was the ultimate betrayal by men he considered his friends. Betrayal can be large or small. Think back… Friends who disappointed you. Warnings you ignored. Politicians who didn’t keep their promises. Share your betrayal stories forward.

At some point we all “launched” and moved away from our parents’ homes and college dorms. You might have found your own apartment or moved in with friends or a lover. Where did you land? Was the place a hovel, a house share, or something in between? Think back … to remember what was fantastic or funny or awful. Share your story of your first apartment forward.

“Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers” (Yevgeny Yevtushenko). Do you agree? Think back … What’s the earliest poem you remember? What’s your favorite poem and why? What poems can you recite from memory? Have you written poetry? Have you taught favorite poems to your kids? Share your poetry stories forward.
