Peep Our New Look


Hello Wonderful.

Notice anything different? In honor of our 3 year anniversary—our first issue was lovingly delivered on Nov 11, 2015—we've changed things up with a new look. And, in keeping with a Perennial mindset of growth and exploration we are launching a weekly vodcast (video podcast) starting with a discussion on sexual wellness with Christine Marie Mason. Watch an archived version of this talk in The What. Women, our private community on Fb. The sound is wonky but there's some good stuff in there if you listen closely, or as Christine would say 'pay exquisite attention.'

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

 

- Margaret Mead

 

THE WHAT LIST

100% Editorial picks. No pay for play. Ever.

 

The Bath.  

We were at a holiday party last night chatting with a brain trust of very savvy women who could not stop raving about how Epsom salt baths with CBD oil help with mood, sleep, relaxation, and pain relief. It occurred to us that we should test a bevy of CBD products in The What Lab. We'll let you know the results in December. If you have any CBD products you swear by please let us know about it here.
 

The Novel.  

Great news for Handmaid's Tale fans. Margaret Atwood is writing a sequel due out next fall.
 

The Tech.

Apple has launched Entrepreneur Camp, an initiative designed to create new opportunities for app-driven businesses owned or led by women through an intensive technology lab, specialized support and ongoing mentoring. Now accepting applications until January 2019.
 

The Binge.  

We both spent a good amount of last weekend watching Homecoming a new series on Amazon based on the podcast of the same name. It's a spellbinding psychological thriller starring Julia Roberts like you've never seen her.

MEET THE PERENNIALS

Norman Lear

Norman Lear made a name for himself in the 1970s as the creator and director of such iconic TV shows as All in the Family, Sanford and Son, Maude, Good Times, The Jeffersons, One Day at a Time, and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman -- shows that featured complicated characters and took on serious, sometimes controversial issues, such as racism and abortion, with a mixture of wry humor and unflinching honesty. In conversation, Norman was the funny, thoughtful, astute, curious man we imagined he'd be, generous with his time and surprisingly soulful. And of course, thoroughly, delightfully Perennial.

In your mind, what makes you a Perennial?  What makes me a Perennial is I feel I'm the peer of whomever I'm talking to. You're 12, I'm 12.

There have been a lot of ups and downs and difficult challenges in our country over the years. But as a Perennial, how do you come to terms with that, how do you make sense of it?  Who knows?  Anything can happen. I lived through World War II, I flew in a B17 bomber. It interests me, that despite how many of us and those like us who preceded us here, despite everything we've managed in science, we haven't got a shred of information or understanding about what happens next. And I think that's one of the great kicks, and it amazes me that I can dwell on it because it's so real and apt. Nobody has come back for an instant to tell us what follows.
