I lived for many years with the idea that I would be a career woman first and someday get to kids.
Biologically, this makes little sense as it gets harder to have kids as a woman ages. But even more mind boggling, I didn’t really even think much of it, like the way one considers what he or she is having for dinner. Actually I probably put more thought into dinner. Being a mom was a complete afterthought. One day a friend and I were eating lunch in downtown Seattle and she smacked some truth into my noggin. I decided, ok what the heck. What do I have to lose? We had our first when I was 38 - I found out I was pregnant the week I resigned from my TV news job. Our second came when I was 41.
If I could talk to younger me, I’d tell her that no career is worth delaying or sacrificing motherhood. It has been the most incredibly humbling, soul-stretching, heart-throbbing, belly laughing adventure I’ve ever had.

When cell tower companies apply for a permit, they often claim that it is for public health or safety.
The truth is that in-home streaming has become so popular, they see a new multi-billion dollar profit frontier and are trying to get you to bundle your cell phone service with your Wi-Fi. If we are not careful, this will mean multiple cell towers in neighborhoods everywhere.
Our neighborhood just got fiber and we already have 3 cell towers nearby. Now they want to build a 4th tower next door.
Please help us stop the unnecessary tower from going up right next to our farm. Send a quick email to:
“I oppose the Blue Sky cell tower application CU-2026-00003 in Crystal River. It is unnecessary. Please deny the conditional use permit.”
I have gotten two main comments about my cell tower activism, and I get them so often, I decided to make a video awards show to recognize them. Thank you to all applicants!
(I got none here on Locals. Sorry no awards here.)
Help us STOP THE CELL TOWER by emailing [email protected] “I oppose the Blue Sky cell tower, application CU-2026-00003 planned for Crystal River.”
Omega-3‘s are great for reducing inflammation - and I like how they give my body a boost against EMF. I get mine from the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil at Green Pasture. Since it is fermented like our ancestors used to do it, and not processed with high heat, it preserves much more nutritional content. Dump the cheap fish oil. It is packed with vitamins A, D & K. It saved my teeth from chronic cavities 15 years ago. Use promo code “ALISON” at checkout for 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
