Men reflect, or is it - genuflect?! I forget : ) tee hee

Call the following entry an oversimplification of a very complex and multi-dimensional situation and I would be the first one to agree with you.

PSssst: that IS my disclaimer : )

So, that being said…I opened one of my awesome little life brighteners (books!) and below is the ‘daily thought and affirmation’ in Reflections in the Light [...]

The video and wording as lifted from MM, thanks, Mischa : )
Today I’m talking about the women in Congo.  There is a war going on in Africa and rape is used as a weapon of war.   More people have died there than Iraq, Afghanistan and Darfur combined…within the last 10 years [...]

Female and child trafficking: 2M annual worldwide (shudder)

**Comment responses at end

A few days ago, I ate brekkie at my favorite outdoor café’ in Hermosa Beach, great food and the manager escaped from my same hometown, it’s always a fun visit there. I wore my ‘I am Powerful’ t-shirt, on the back it says, ‘CARE.org preserving dignity, ending poverty’ [...]

The fine art of the Hump Day session

Wow, it’s already Wednesday, imagine that : )
I’ll play a refresher entry, actually it’s that for me since I started this train of thought a few weeks ago and changed my mind, tee hee, call it female purogative, or whatever you want to…you probably don’t remember and why should you?!

I always get private e-mail’s [...]

Let’s take a ‘tizzy’ today, can we talk health? Omega 3’s?

Listen, I’m sorry, but I needed a break from a subject that gets my blood boiling, the mistreatment of women worldwide, so today bc it’s Saturday and a day of rest for some (me, hahaha…)and maybe taking a tizzy, I think that means ‘taking it easy’ ala Ricky Ricardo in I Love Lucy…(& I also [...]

The Quran says what?? Beating the wife is OK? With WHOM?

Quick disclaimer: in case you think I’ve sold out by placing ads and a donation button here, it’s not what you think, of course I’d like to make money but I’m thinking if it pleases all of us, part of it goes to me, my needs are fairly basic and the other part goes as [...]

Muslim women and honor killings

I’d planned to reword this entire passage but, you know, I’ve got a life to live and if someone else is going to make it easy on me for a few days, why not roll with it? I edited a tiny bit…
The following ‘edited’ words are supplied my good friend and fellow blogger, Mischa

Wednesday’s three legged stool or is it four…?

mmm, it’s Wednesday again, and just the idea of that makes me smile…

A quick share and then the ‘real’ entry : )

Assu(RED)
If every living body were assured of love,
