Hope for the Future

Everyone goes through periods of time when they think "I must change" and "Now is it, I can't go on this way". I've always believed those feelings are gut instinct telling you to move on. What I hadn't learned until now, at nearly 51, is, the change maybe just needs to be in your thinking. Shift your self perception; look through the other side of the glass; change you. Hmmm. I'm working on it!

Rain it is

Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Rights for all

From an AAUW news brief: "Thousands gathered at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., to remember feminist and civil rights champion Dr. Dorothy Height. President Obama eulogized Dr. Height saying, "We remember her for all she did over a lifetime, behind the scenes, to broaden the movement's reach...To make us see the drive for civil rights and women's rights not as a separate struggle, but as part of a larger movement to secure the rights of all humanity, regardless of gender, regardless of race, regardless of ethnicity."
Being a member of AAUW, I am particularly fond of the fact that we not forget that in supporting women's equity rights, we not forget we should be supporting humanity in general. Men, children, immigrants...for we are not different from one another in our dreams and hopes. In our self-interest, we should strive to account for our own actions in this regard and not overlook our own prejudice.
