Gioconda Belli on Grit TV

Many years ago Gioconda Belli was interviewed for Bomb Magazine by Kenia Halleck, Sol Maria's mother. This is a recent interview conducted by Laura Flanders on Grit TV on the occasion of the publication of Belli's new book.

From a Grandmother with a similar problem

Pat Hanson

I am an Invisible Grandparent. I have two grandchildren that, I have been kept from seeing. Writing letters helped heal the hole in my heart that not being able to grandparent caused. In the last three years I have written dozens, in hopes that someday, these children who are part of my gene pool will read them. I have also written others I have no intention of ever sending in order to free myself of negative energy and work toward forgiveness of both myself and others.

Easter time

When we lived in San Diego, Easter time was a big deal for Molly and Sol.  They both received Easter baskets from the Easter bunny and later we made hot crossed buns.

Here's Molly's partner Shaw with one of Tovey's rabbits. I always think of Solmaria and her rabbit when Easter rolls around.  I wonder where she is and I hope she is having a joyful springtime!
