A few days ago I visited The Other Side, where Shirl was encouraging folks to visit another blog, because the author had announced a fun little project. Meg, of Mandarin Design Daily, is recovering from some physical issues. And she’s boooooooored. She invited folks to send her a postcard, and being a penpal at heart, I did. She posted it here.

The postcard I sent was a print of a collage honoring the National Women’s Hall of Fame and the birthplace of the women’s rights in Seneca Falls, New York. (You know, where Elizabeth Cady Stanton lived, as well as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Blackwell.) I grew up in Syracuse, not far from there, and spent a lot of time in the Finger Lakes region growing up. I have relatives in Seneca Falls, and I’ve always felt some pride that my roots are woven with such history. If you’re curious to read the document that initiated the movement, you can read the Declaration of Sentiments. It was presented in 1848 and signed by 68 women and 32 men.

If you feel like sending Meg a postcard, she’s put her snail mail address in her comments.
