S1E21: Barbara Mahany | Pressed Against the Heartbeat of the World, Listening

Picture

Picture

Barbara Mahany spent nearly three decades as a reporter and writer at the Chicago Tribune. She is now a freelance journalist and author of four collections of essays. Her first, Slowing Time: Seeing the Sacred Outside Your Kitchen Door, has been called “balm for the hurried heart,” and “a field guide into your holiest hours.” Her second book, Motherprayer: Lessons in Loving, explores the sacred mysteries of mothering—its sorrows, joys, trembles, hallelujahs, and the tumble of questions without answers.
Her latest, which debuted earlier this autumn, The Stillness of Winter: Sacred Blessings of the Season, is a "gift book," which basically means a pretty little book you might delight in holding in your hand, or tucking in your pocket, or slipping onto your bedside table. It's a lovely, fetchingly-compact tome and we have done just that with it in Bellingham and Laguna Beach, respectively. 
A pediatric oncology nurse before taking up journalism, Barb ever is drawn to deeply human stories, where she has displayed a nurse’s knack for tapping into the hearts of those whose story she is telling.
She counts among her life’s treasures the hundreds of letters she’s received from readers who tell her they’ve clipped one of her stories and tucked it in a wallet, a bedroom drawer, or slipped it in a plastic sleeve and carried it wherever they’ve gone. One such fellow, the Pigeon Man of Lincoln Square, who was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver one cold December’s eve, died clutching a laminated copy of the story she had written about him three years earlier. 
Barb still writes regularly on her longtime blog, Pull Up A Chair. We suggest you do.

S1E19: Greta Chapin-McGill | Thrifty Southwestern Fancy Tailgate

Picture
Greta Chapin-McGee.


Picture
"Pieta" by Greta Chapin-McGill.

Greta Chapin-McGill is a Black feminist artist who believes the narrative of her art is a living document, evolving in phases. The most important lesson she says she has learned has been "to get out of my own way and let the art lead me.” She is  drawn to artists, male and female, whose sensibilities are able to look intimately at the feminine mystic. 
“Women express openly among themselves and in every venue they inhabit emotion and spirituality," Greta says. To her, feminism means having the unparalleled physical strength literally to push humanity forward. "Feminism silently and most profoundly influences my work, she says.
"Women are the species I know best.”
 
 
Reared in Washington, D.C., Greta has lived in New York, New Mexico, and Firenze, Italy. 
“My work is abstractly real. The techniques are driven by classical art 'isms,' indigenous tribal art, and my own unique ancestral DNA. I spend time reading, studying, and collecting mentors to further my art," she says. Her great influences include Wilfredo Lam, Picasso, Matisse, Leon Berkowitz, Alma Thomas, and contemporary artists with whom she converses with about art, politics, and concepts of life, such as  Lillian Burwell,  the late Jack Whitten, Oliver Lee Jackson, Akili Anderson, Alonzo Davis, and Indigenous  artist Patricia Michaels. 
“I am driven to tell the story of my time through the eyes of a Black American woman, a feminist and global citizen,” Greta says.

Ear candling | Don’t 
Ill-advised moves | Throwing food on the floor. Even if Julia Child did it. (She didn't.)
Mark Rivet confessional | Very elastic skin and possible accidental arsonist. Also, he breaks things.  
Fedlegs | Painted yellow legs. Yes, really. (See link below.)
Fun fact | Mark and Kaitlyn can take you from any subject to a fetish in about five moves 
Enneagram mention? | Check! 
Who's extra-special this week? Cathleen
