In the bathtub, on the border: A perspectival identity crisis (I of II)
While reading Tara Fenwick’s (2000) incisive review of five perspectives in the field of experiential learning, I had a troubling sense of déjà vu. I shot back to at least one afternoon in my adolescence when, soaking in the bathtub, I read through my hardcover edition of Linda Goodman’s (1968) <I>Sun Signs</I> and tried to determine whether she was really describing <I>me</I> in her classificatory system. Since I was born on the cusp, right in the borderlands between Virgo and Libra, it didn’t seem that I fit perfectly into one category or the other. It was important, I felt, because being one or the other could give me great insight into the future that lay ahead. Being neither, or both, just left me open to the unforeseen.

My Breasts - My Poison: Part 4
This is the fourth in a series of articles detailing my own personal story of what silicone breast implants can do. (The fifth article continues on April 28.) I hope you'll read the complete series and look for the soon to be released book, From BIGGER to BATTERED BREASTS, by J.L. Morgan and K. D. Welsh, published by ARROSE BOOKS. With advertising about breast augmentation on the rise, we are sad to say that the silicone breast implant issue is not dead! This dreadful and dangerous surgery is still a very big industry and continues to grow in popularity, especially with the young woman. Brazil boasts that it provides the largest number of these surgical procedures in the world. Why must women measure their worth or physical appearance by the size of their breasts? They just don't realize that in their effort to increase their bust size, more and more women are subjecting themselves to untold risk.
