“Think of all the women you know who will not allow themselves to be seen without makeup. I often wonder how they feel about themselves at night when they are climbing into bed with intimate partners. Are they overwhelmed with secret shame that someone sees them as they really are? Or do they sleep with rage that who they really are can be celebrated or cared for only in secret?”

Today’s post wrapped up a long series on housing. Tomorrow, we’ll begin a series on women. No particular theme (so far), just photos of women working, caring for families, playing, styling, etc. A few of them will be movers & shakers, most of them ordinary heroines.
I want to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate your overwhelmingly positive feedback and your blogs. There are so many smart, funny, kind and interesting folks on Tumblr. It’s a pleasure to learn from and share with you every day. Many thanks to you all!
