Just rang my 93yo grandma but she couldn’t talk because she’s watching

I love my Moon Cup but any conversation, even among other women, is often stifled by a sense of ickyness. Women’s bodies are not icky or shameful; healthy, conversation about menstruation leads to healthy informed women.
There are few things so widely consumed as tampons and sanitary towels. Yet our understanding of their environmental impact is very limited, and stigma frequently gets in the way of more sustainable alternatives.

On this day 13 years ago I found out I’d passed the interview process to become a vicar.
What a time we’ve had, joy and delight but lots of heartache and goodbyes as well; we’ve made some wonderful friends along the way, I think we’re flourishing.

I was ordained ten years ago. It’s been exciting and rewarding, beyond anything I could have ever expected; but for all the tears shed, for every exasperated sign there has been blessing and hope.
It’s a joy and a delight to serve in God’s Church.

I’ve been ordained nearly ten years, I reckon I get asked once a year. That’s ten couples who have been been denied the sacrament of marriage and Gods blessing on their relationship. It breaks my heart, I can’t imagine how they feel.

She’s obviously never heard me speak.
Did you know that women couldn’t be preachers if microphones weren’t invented? They don’t have the strong, powerful voices that carry like men’s voices do. God created men to be the preachers.
