I wrote a blog that I posted last week here on blogher about Women's Power and that it will be Women who "reclaim" the planet and overcome global devistation.

These are amazing times, and frightening times. The presidential election being the closest women have ever really gotton to achieving office, the momtrepenuer movement...Blogher, and women all over the world joining their voices in communities to educate and inspire each other. These Rwandan Women will forgive because they know inherently it's the only way to achieve real progress. Fear and Love being the most powerful oppossing emotions they must choose love to overcome, which only a group of such devistated women can do. It makes me tearful, fierce, proud.

You will get over your botched job I hope (I have no doubt, and I'm so sorry) because it's clear you speak the same language as these women, otherwise you would not have posted and inspired me to comment. Thanks for bringing their healing into my life. Congrats on the birth of your son

wake up calls

I remember when I was living in Mexico... someone told me that her friend had to tie a rope around her toddler's waist and anchor the rope around a log so that she could do her job as a cleaning lady for a home. What are the alternatives? That story just flipped my sheltered thinking and ideas of justice upside down. What's that line? "with privilege, comes responsibility"... We are really so privileged in North America and I hope that as I get older and maybe a bit wiser, I will find ways to be there for other women who have less means but more strength than I will ever know. Please check out http://www.kiva.org (I don't work for them or anything), it's great for helping people improve their standard of living and you even get your money back.

ps. her bad mother - your pain is not petty! yikes! hope you're better soon!!

And what a cute photo of the little guy. Such a good message in this post.

(Did I ever tell you that I have over 40 nieces and nephews and more than 20 great nieces and nephews? That's a LOT of babies. We've been very lucky.)

Besides being cute--Look at his finger position and wry, observing facial expression: Looks like he is ready to begin blogging to me!

Congrats! I just LOVE the picture!!!

Amazing how some of our worries pale in comparison. I have a friend who just return from doing work in the Dominican and the pictures amaze me.

I just happened to see this post, and I just have to offer you my congratulations on the birth of your beautiful nephew! What a handsome little guy he is! Welcome to this world, Heir Jr, I hope to see more about you soon :)

Thank you

Yep, a doll. I think that's what his big brother thought when he got his first look at him. Totally not what he expected in a brother. :-)
