Gifted Women
The traditional roles of women continue to impact all aspects of a woman's life, even in our "more liberated and open" society. Gifted women struggle with their roles as women as well as their desire to achieve their intellectual goals. What struggles have you had, or have you observed in those who are close to you?See More

Sciencemama replied to Rita Goodman's discussion My Journey Through the Classics in the group Bibliophiles"Oh, yeah...and I've been thinking of adding a list of my favorite books and movies that have been very inspirational. I have a fairly off-beat taste in books. Some books have been banned in history...so those are of course the ones…"
Sciencemama replied to Rita Goodman's discussion My Journey Through the Classics in the group Bibliophiles"A blogroll is a list of your favorite blogs you can add to your own blog when you design your layout. This way you can find your favorite blogs without having to type them into a new window on your web browser.
You can see a list of mine on my…"

Since reading is often my escape from loneliness, it's nice to not only post my comments online somewhere, but also to get comments and feedback. It's…"
Sciencemama replied to Rita Goodman's discussion My Journey Through the Classics in the group Bibliophiles"I think this is a great thing you are doing. I scanned a few of your posts...and I think it will be interesting to see what strikes you. I've always loved getting recommendations after reading reviews of books, so it will be…"
My Journey Through the Classics
I hope it's appropriate to post a link here to a blog I recently started. I've been keeping a log of my reading through a selection of classic books. On the blog, I'm trying to keep them in chronological order by date published. It's in no way a summary of the literary works, and not very intellectual I'm afraid, but rather my reactions to what I read. Here's the link: http://rita-aclassicjourney.blogspot.com/Comments welcome and…See More
"I originally found this web site because of this kind of loneliness you speak of. From time to time I come back, when I'm feeling exceptionally desperate. My latest attempts to cope have been 1) joining a book discussion group, in…"
spiritj replied to Rita Goodman's discussion Friendship, Peers, Partners in the group The Gifted Adult"Aw...shucks. Thanks, SM & Dan! :)
I like the butterfly analogy too: "Hey, what are these wings for??" LOL."
Sciencemama replied to Rita Goodman's discussion Friendship, Peers, Partners in the group The Gifted Adult"The analogy is quite appropriate, Dan.
I spent about 20 minutes debating whether I'd change my avatar to this butterfly or to a beautiful peacock.
I'm glad I went with the butterfly.
:)
And I'd agree that SJ is very inspiring...but…"
Dan F replied to Rita Goodman's discussion Friendship, Peers, Partners in the group The Gifted Adult"I was just thinking that in most insects, wings are useless in the larval and pupa stages and only become functional in the adult. It has taken me an extraordinarily long time to become an adult, and I'll probably spend the remainder of…"
Sciencemama replied to Rita Goodman's discussion Friendship, Peers, Partners in the group The Gifted Adult"Spiritj -
I don't have anything to add, just a thanks for your perspective. I do appreciate you a lot right now. It comes at a really good time for me.
Warmly,
SM"
spiritj replied to Rita Goodman's discussion Friendship, Peers, Partners in the group The Gifted Adult"Hi Rita,
Thank you for sharing your insights so honestly. I've had many of the same experiences, and over time, also found my first marriage increasingly isolating.
It is said that the start of one's "real" long-term…"

Welcome back, Rita. I hope everything's going well. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about the new site.
A community for support and fellowship for gifted persons, those close to them and associated professionals.

About MGL
MyGiftedLife.org is not a high-IQ society or corporate entity. MGL is not a business, nor is it a formal charity. We do not currently operate on any grants or fund-raising. Our mission is to provide a place where people can provide fellowship, encouragement and information to each other when needed.
MGL is for gifted persons and those involved in their lives, including parents, families and friends. Educators, psychologists and other professionals are welcome, as are others who may simply want information about giftedness.
Mygiftedlife is a safe haven. It's a place where anyone who experiences life from a gifted perspective can share their unique selves and weave a common thread going beyond the tapestry of any usual forum to one based upon expanding awareness of experiences, self, others and the world we live in. Mygiftedlife is a place for delving deeper. I've come here and been understood when that seemed impossible. Gifted people and those advocating for gifted children navigate societal structures that present a great challenge. Support can be hard to find, but here it is.
"Hey, all the inane shallow chatter about stupid stuff at other forums got you down? Come here for more in depth and intelligent discussion about things that actually matter."
