In Remembrance of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor
Hello, Satellite Sisterhood…
Lian here on a Friday afternoon.
As we remember Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s life and legacy, I took a look back at some of the moments we spoke about her on Satellite Sisters.
First, I wrote a piece in 2010 about hearing her speak at Maria’s Shriver’s First Ladies Conference in Long Beach. (See Column below.)
We also spoke about her legacy on this podcast in 2018 when she was diagnosed with dementia. Listen here.

They changed history… and brought their pocketbooks. Diane Sawyer, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor in 2010 at Maria Shriver’s Women’s Conference.
Here are my Random Thoughts about that day in 2010 when Liz and I saw Justice O’Connor and Justice Ginsberg on stage together.
Yesterday Liz and I went to Maria Shriver’s Last Hurrah as the First Lady of California. She hosted The Women’s Conference, a day-long event of inspiring speeches and panel discussions under the banner of “Women as the Architects of Change” that has become the largest conference for women in the world. The speakers list yesterday included: Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsberg; Michelle Obama; Dr. Jill Biden; Laura Bush; Mary Oliver; Oprah Winfrey; Mary J. Blige; Eve Ensler; and Maria Shriver herself ,who blows me away every year. ( To see the whole agenda, plus webcasts, click here) We will be giving a full report on a special Satellite Sisters podcast tomorrow, but in the meantime , here are some
Random Thoughts:
14,000 women doing anything is an impressive sight. But 14,000 women giving Justice Sandra Day O’Connor a spontaneous standing ovation as she simply walks through the crowd is spine-tingling.
Best Moment of the Day: When Diane Sawyer introduced Justice O’ Connor and Justice Ginsberg and they both walked out on stage WITH THEIR POCKETBOOKS! Like the Queen. Priceless!
Sheila was right: Brian Williams is funny and charming. I stand corrected.
Both Jill Biden and Michelle Obama gave moving and rousing speeches about the need to reach out to military spouses who face the same challenges we all do, times ten. What can we do, military spouses? Put suggestions below.
Laura Bush gave a delightful and funny speech about her post-White House life, including a very funny story about Barbara Bush. Julie, I wish you were there.
I am sorry I didn’t have time to enjoy the “brow-shaping” bar sponsored by the Style Channel. I scored a last minute ticket to see Robert Redford, so I skipped the browbar.
Yes, Robert Redford is still Hubble.
Gayle King, Jessica Simpson, Lisa Leslie, Jess Weiner and Katherine Schwarzenegger made for a fantastic, funny, insightful panel on self-esteem and young girls. Way to go, Dove. Someone give those 5 a TV show.
First Moment of Empathy: watching the poor, outnumbered men searching for the few men’s rooms that hadn’t been turned into women’s rooms.
Second Moment of Empathy: watching the Women’s Conference newbies standing in line at 6 am in four-inch heels. Hahaha. I’ve made that mistake before, being overly ambitious in the shoe department at a conference that is 12 hours long and requires lots of walking on hard cement floors.
The world needs Eve Ensler and her passion and voice even if it seems like a lot at lunchtime.
I want to be like poet Mary Oliver when I grow up, comfortable with myself and my work to wear a simple black turtleneck and black pants with a nice, little haircut.
Those Shriver girls sure got the hair gene.
Don’t get me started on Matt Lauer, who used a journalistic cheap trick to get 14,000 women to boo Meg Whitman, the female candidate for Governor in California. Hey, Matt, now that you’ve had your little “news at 11” moment, better get going or you’ll miss your tee time!
Nothing wraps up a conference like Ms. Oprah Winfrey in fine form.
We will miss you, Maria Shriver! I wonder who Mr. Whitman or Mrs. Brown is going to be able to reel in for next year

A Note From Your Satellite Sisters
A Note from your Satellite Sisters
Satellite Sisters will be changing in 2024.
Satellite Sisters was conceived as a community from the onset: podcast, website, newsletter, social media, live events, meetups. We dreamed of being more than a radio show; we aspired to a Sisterhood. Over the last 23 years, our community has grown into a place of wisdom, support, friendship and connection. We’re honored to be a part of your lives and to call you friends.
We’ve decided to make some changes in 2024 and we wanted to share them with you:
We’ll be ending the production of new weekly podcasts on December 5, 2023. It’s been an amazing run, over two decades long, with laughs, tears, mediocre advice and more laughs. We’re very proud of the show we created and the conversations we’ve started.
We’ve worked with a talented group of professionals who have made us better and made the show better and we’re grateful for their contributions.
And we’ve developed a relationship with our audience that we never could have predicted on April 1, 2001 when Satellite Sisters debuted. Thank you for listening, for laughing, for sharing and for making this show the centerpiece of our professional lives.
In 2024:
We’lll maintain our podcast archives so hundreds of shows will still be available across all podcast platforms. In addition, next year we’ll post 25 episodes from the hidden archives, re-edited for a new audience. Get ready for Satellite Sisters Rediscovered. Please keep following Satellite Sisters on your preferred podcast platform so you don’t miss a minute. Find links to major podcast platforms here.
We’ll continue working with trusted sponsors so we can maintain and create Satellite Sisters content across many platforms. Thank you for supporting our sponsors.
We’ll maintain our website, our blog and the archives at satellitesisters.com. Visit the hub of the sisterhood, our website, at satellitesisters.com.
We will continue to publish our newsletter Pep Talk every other week. Please make sure to join the mailing list.
We’ll maintain the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group and the Satellite Sisters Big Fun Weekend group. We love the smisterhood there and want to see that community continue and thrive as a positive place on the Internet. Please make sure to join our private group. Please answer the membership questions.
We’ll produce new content on all our social media channels – Facebook Group, Facebook Page, Instagram Channel and YouTube Channel. Look for more videos from us in 2024. Plus, Lian will be out on a book tour in April 2024. Please make sure you follow us on all platforms. Find links to our social media here.
We’ll continue to keep the shop open. Everyone needs a Satellite Sisters t-shirt or a bucket hat in their lives. Find a link to the store here. Thank you for buying the merch.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been revisiting the Satellite Sisters UnCommon Senses, the values and beliefs that shaped us as children and continue to influence our world view. Sense of Connection, Sense of Self, Sense of Humor, Sense of Adventure, and Sense of Direction. We all agree that Sense of Connection remains the most important sense. It’s the sense of connection– of being someone’s sister, mother, friend — that gives meaning to our lives. Nurturing relationships is what shapes who we are and how we live. Most of us our bound together by sharing the small everyday acts of the people in our lives who support, accept, sometimes bust, and always encourage us. Our Satellite Sister community bonded over a talk show created by a bunch of sisters from Connecticut, but the connection has gone beyond the airwaves in ways that we never imagined. It’s been amazing and we look forward to new adventures.
Thank you for sticking with us.
Stay Connected.

Sense of Self: Carry Your Own Skis by Lian Dolan
Carry Your Own Skis By Lian Dolan
From Satellite Sisters Uncommon Senses
2001 /Mudbath Productions
When my mother was forty, she took up skiing. Or, more correctly, she and her twin sister took up skiing. They got on a bus, went to ski camp for a week and learned to ski. After that, they’d get in the car and head up to Ladies Day at Powder Hill as often as they could to practice their stem christies. Don’t let the name fool you, Powder Hill, which later became the more Everest-like “Powder Ridge,” was no pushover bunny slope.
This was in the mid-Sixties, when skiing was work-decades before valet parking, fondue lunches, and gear that actually keeps you dry, warm and safe. My mother and my aunt took up the kind of skiing that entailed wooden skis, tie boots, and rope toes that could jerk your arm out of its socket. This was the kind of skiing where skiers, not the snow cats, groomed the hill in the morning. Ticket buyers were expected to sidestep up and down slopes and herringbone the lift lines. The typical A-frame lodge had a big fireplace, a couple of bathrooms, rows of picnic tables, and maybe some hot chocolate for sale. At the end of the day, there were no hot toddies by a roaring fire in furry boots or glasses of wine in the hot tub of a slope side condo. Instead, my mother and her sister faced the inevitability of a station wagon with a dead battery and the long, dark drive back home in wet clothes.
Why did they learn to ski? It wasn’t to spend some quality time outdoors together away from their responsibilities at home. They learned to ski so that they could take their collective children skiing, all seventeen of us. My mother’s eight children and my aunt’s nine. And learn to ski, we did, eagerly. There was, however, one rule my mother had about skiing: Carry your own skis.
My mother didn’t teach us to ski until we could carry our own skis from the car to the lodge in the morning and, this is key, from the lodge back to the car at the end of the day. Even cold, wet, and tired, we had to get our skis, poles, and boots back to that station wagon on our own. No falling behind. No dragging. And no whining. My mother had the responsibility for her gear, the giant lunch, the car, and the occasional trip to the ER for broken legs. We were in charge of our own gear and meeting at the end of the day. These were the conditions to accompany siblings and cousins to the slopes. Carry your own skis or sit in the lodge all day.
No one wanted to get left in the lodge. A cold, wet day on the ice blue slopes of New England, freezing in leather boots and the generation of ski clothes before micro-fibers was far preferable to being left out of all that fun. Miss the lunches of soggy tuna fish sandwiches and Hershey’s minis? No way! Sit in the lodge instead of side slipping your way down a sheet of ice disguised as a trail or tramping through three feet of snow to get the pole you dropped under the chair lift? Not me! Forgo that last run of the day in near darkness, cold and alone and crying because your siblings have skied on ahead without you? Who’d want to miss all that fun? Sitting in the lodge all day just wasn’t an option, once we reached ski age. We were expected to participate. We learned to carry our own skis.
The lesson was simple, really. Be responsible for yourself and your stuff, or you miss out. No one wanted to miss out. Getting across the icy parking lot and back seemed a small price to pay for the potential of great fun. And even if you dropped your poles or the bindings cut into your hands or you fell on your behind, that was part of the experience. The “carry your own skis” mentality filtered into almost every area of our life growing up. Doing homework, getting to practice, applying to college-be responsible for yourself and your stuff or you miss out.
I began to notice the people who hadn’t learned to carry their own skis when I was as young as 11. I didn’t have a name for this concept yet, but I had the notion that maybe other kids operated by a different set of rules. They thought that somewhere, somebody was going to take care of things for them. I remember the girls at summer camp that never signed up to pack out or pack in for a camping trip, expecting that someone else would provide food or do all the clean-up for them. But me? I would sign up to make the PB&Js and to clean up the mess. I’d load the canoes onto the truck and take ’em off again. And the tent? I’d put it up and I’d take it down. I didn’t know any different. As a result, I was invited to go on a lot of camping trips. The lodge and back, baby. That was my attitude.
In high school, the kids who didn’t carry their own skis called their parents to bring in assignments they’d forgotten or to ask for a ride home instead of walking or taking the late bus. In college, the no-ski carriers all had pink tee shirts-a sure sign that they had never done laundry before-and they complained about how much work they had. Isn’t that what college was about? Doing your own laundry and finishing your work? Then you could get to the fun stuff.
The real world is riddled with people who have never learned to carry their own skis-the blame shifters, the no-RSVPers, the co-workers who never participate in those painful group birthdays except if it’s their own. I admit it: I don’t really get these people.
I like the folks who clear the dishes, even when they’re the guests. Or the committee members who show up on time, assignment completed and ready to pitch in on the next event. Or the neighbor who drives the car-pool even though her kids are sick. I get these people. These people have learned to carry their own skis.
In early adulthood, carrying my own skis meant getting a job, paying off my student loans, and working hard for the company that was providing my paycheck. If I did those things, then I could enjoy the other areas of my life. Dull, yes, but freeing, too. When I wasn’t responsible for myself or my stuff, I felt lousy. Sometimes, I could get to the lodge, but I just couldn’t get back to the station wagon at the end of the day. It was an unfamiliar feeling to let someone down by missing a deadline at work or not showing up for an early morning run. I even felt bad for the people at American Express when my expense reports got a little behind my bills. On days like that, the parking lot seemed bigger and icier than I had anticipated.
Now, I have a life that includes a husband, two children, a dog, a house, friends, schools, and a radio show that involves lots of other people, including four sisters. The “stuff” of my life may seem much heavier than two skis, two boots, and two poles, but it isn’t really. Just a little bit trickier to carry. I have to do more balancing and let go of the commitments that I’d probably drop anyway. If I commit to more than I can handle, I miss out. That’s when I think of Powder Hill.
The funny thing is, some of the worst moments of my childhood were spent on skis or in pursuit of skiing. The truth is, I didn’t really like skiing as a kid. And, I wasn’t a very good skier. Most days, skiing for me was about freezing rain and constantly trying to catch up to my older, faster, more talented siblings. The hard falls on the hard ice. I can still feel the damp long underwear and the wet wool from the endless ride home. But whether I liked to ski or not didn’t really matter. I was expected to learn to ski and I did. And I also learned that in life you need to be responsible for yourself and your stuff or you miss out. The lodge and back, baby.
