Shelli Lokers-Calanchi

A young'ish woman who considers herself laid back and doesn't take herself too seriously. I like to think I'm known for my self-depricating sense of humor. My dreams include ending world poverty and getting kids adopted without all the red tape rigamarole & expense. I'm a moderate, and an advocate for women (women who respect themselves). To me, it's all about respect for one's self and one another.

  • Bieber Fever!
    Bieber fever has hit hard around here.
  • What Happened to Being a Good Girl?
    For as far back as I can remember, women have had what men want (sex). And for most of my childhood, girls grew up protecting that gift (a gift is what it is). Dare I say it...most were just a tad more dignified than the boys.Those days seem to be gone.
  • Chill Out on the Diets Already
    Weight loss commercials abound with the new year upon us. It's so tiring. We as Americans have too much of everything in this country.
  • This World is Nuts
    A mere 24 hours after the Arizona congresswoman is shot, folks are calling in to radio shows defending the politicians, talk show hosts and pundits of their particular party!
  • Household Managers
    As I was getting out of the shower recently, scraping the remnants of a soggy bar of soap off the shower shelf, I started to wonder "who gets credit for doing all of this stuff every day?"
  • Cell Phone Bills...Ugh
    Funny that a phone company is in the news tonight, under investigation for false fees added to customer bills. I was just commenting on how the American public never hears of their "record profits"...
  • Airline Travel--elites Vs. Rif-raf
    The hassle and humor to be found in airline travel.
  • Social Media
    A glimpse into the fractured mind of a marketer in today's social-media-driven world:
  • It Happened Again
    Well, it happened again. In recent headlines there was yet another murder of a young woman by her husband, both of whom grew up in a small town close to mine.
  • Attn: Tea Partiers
    I'm not a democrat or republican, and I love the bumper sticker that says that God doesn't belong to one or the other either. I'm a Christian who wants this country to survive all the mud-slinging.
  • Some Humor for Haiti?..
    My brother's collection of prosthetic legs that he's outgrown through the years may now be used to fit survivors of the Haitian earthquake. The humor in this is that I have to go to my parent's house to load up 15-20 "fake legs." An awkward visual...
  • Self Respect!
    It's really pretty simple The "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" song by Aretha Franklin says it all. If we fail to respect ourselves as women, how can we expect it from anyone else?
  • Meekness is Underrated
    I never really knew what this Biblical phrase meant. But it sounded wimpy, certainly nothing that appealed to me. Only recently have I come to understand what Jesus meant by blessing those fortunate enough to be termed "meek."
  • Longing for My "Old School" Days at the Ripe Old Age of 41
    I can't keep up with the technology developments and sometimes don't want to! Help me!
