I have always enjoyed writing but though Em-i-lis have really found it to be a craft about which I’m passionate. This section is a work-in-progress collection of essays about a range of topics: my own growth and maturation; parenting and motherhood; women’s roles and import; animal and environmental welfare; politics; and, of course, food.
