Here's an excerpt of the review:

"Using poetry and prose, White takes readers inside her personal journey of transformation, acceptance, and wholeness. Through the passages, White wrestles with and finds contentment with her weight, her face, her skin, and her body,particularly her thighs...

White's journey is filled with moments of joy, pain, sorrow, anger, and love, and readers--women of all ages--can use Rumble Tumble Joy to embark on their own journey of appreciation and acceptance of themselves and others..."

Each week in March and the last postcard arriving in April, a little gift of joy and connection arrived in my mailbox.

Receiving these postcards, plus participating in Kat's scavenger hunt before the postcards were mailed and a blog hop for participants over the weekend of April 18, 2015 (after the post cards were received) has been a fun way to share my art and writing as well as see the cool stuff other folks are creating.  

I received art-filled postcards from artists in Connecticut, Colorado, Oregon, Florida, and the United Kingdom. I also won a beautiful calendar of Patricia Lyon-Surrey's art!

If offered again (say it will be so Kat!), I highly recommend that you take Kat's postcard swap excursion in 2016 to meet others through tangible postcards and social media. 

Connecting with others in this way makes the world smaller and bigger at the same time--and a great reminder of human kindness!

So thank you Kat and all the 2015 participants for making this an event worth remembering, sharing, and celebrating with others!

She was considered controversial, confrontational, and brilliant.

Her reporting of the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann (which was published in The New Yorker) portrayed Eichmann (who was responsible for the detention and transportation of millions of Jews to concentration camps) not as a monster, but as an ordinary man who choose to “follow orders” and not think for himself. In this way, Eichmann considered what he did was not a crime.  

Arendt's perspective on Eichmann's conclusion (unique to the time) and keen insights from this trial gave birth to the now-famous concept of the “banality of evil.”

Besides being a published writer, Arendt was the first woman to be named a full professor at Princeton.  She also taught at several high caliber schools including the University of Chicago, the University of California at Berkeley, Wesleyan University, and The New School for Social Research.
