The Ripple Effect: The Heartbeat to Eternity
Happy All Hallow's Eve Everyone...
In my personal belief system:
I believe in Infinite Intelligence
I believe in the phenomena of Nature, both physical and
spiritual, and that they are an expression of Infinite
Intelligence.
I believe that the existence of souls and that personal
identity continues after the change called death.
I also believe that the doorway to reformation is
never closed against any human soul here or hereafter.
That being said, as I celebrate All Hallow's Eve, I am
going to celebrate the lives of those who once shared
their "light" with me here, and continue to do so, now
that they have crossed over. It is a day of recalling
times of Love, a day of Honor for the Ancient Ones
whose bones paved the way for Us and upon whom We
unknowingly walk. I will savor each moment, each
memory as it comes, as it will help shape me even
more in my evolutionary journey.
I hope Your day is filled with many memorable
moments, wherever You are. May it be a time of
continued Healing in whatever forms it comes. I
truly hope Your Ancestors visit with You and bring
You Peace. Ahhhh....The Lovely Bones!
A'HO!

The Morning of the Letting Go...
I've been sitting reading my Sister/Friend's words this
morning and wanted to share one with you....
It is entitled "The Morning of the Letting Go" and it
struck a definitive chord within me this morning...
If you'd care to read Rachel's poetry just click on the link.

Perhaps while you are there you can read some of her more
recent ones as well. She is one phenominal poet and her
words always bring a poignant reminder for self-introspection.

Women Unite!!!
Support a UN 5th World Conference on Women Petition
GoPetition - Click on above link
I received this in my inbox this a.m. and wanted to pass it along in case
any of my Beloved Sisters would like to sign this petition?
Wangari’s torch has been passed on, threefold! The Nobel Peace Prize for 2011 is to be divided in three equal parts between Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is Africa’s first democratically elected female president. Leymah Gbowee mobilized and organized women across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia, and to ensure women’s participation in elections. Both before and during the “Arab spring”, Tawakkul Karman has played a leading part in the struggle for women’s rights and for democracy and peace in Yemen.
Deep Loss for Mother Earth: Wangari Maathai has Fallen. This was the subject line on the email from Donna Goodman (Earth Child Institute). In it, she wrote: “Over our meal that day she looked me in the eye and shared with me her story of imprisonment and keeping the fight for the trees and the women alive, her words were so important and vibrant when she told me that "people like us must never give up."
Donna’s words reminded of a panel on which Wangari was a participant. It was like listening to a circle of friends/veterans of past UN women’s conferences, together for the first time since she had won the Nobel Peace award. When they congratulated her, she said that it was “for all of us”. They told how they marched arm in arm in the streets in Mexico City at the first WCW, and subsequent events at the others, reminiscing about gains made since. Later in an informal group, a woman who had been Bella Abzug’s driver for years — told the story of how when Wangari was thrown into jail, she called Bella — they had become friends at the UN women’s conferences. I saw how the women’s conferences brought women together, forming bonds of friendship and activism, sisterhood - -heart connections. It is at the level of love of what matters and love of each other, that women together can change the world, often through helping each other out at a crucial moment. Patricia Smith Melton’s (PeaceXPeace) heartfelt response: “oh, such a moment of poignancy, and gratefulness, and sadness.... "people like us must never give up!"
Update on 5WCW Advocacy
Current status: We’ve had meetings with ambassadors re: sponsorship of a General Assembly for a 5WCW resolution, which followed the groundwork of making the connections. Waiting for positive news.
One of the core circle of advocates, Ambassador Anwarul Chowdhury, (former UN Under Secretary General and former president of the Security Council, former ambassador from Bangladesh), was appointed Senior Special Advisor to the President of the UN General Assembly. He is a long-time advocate for women. During his presidency of the Security Council in 2000, he took the initiative to make the conceptual and political breakthrough that made it possible for the Security Council to adopt Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security. His new appointment is good news!
Meanwhile, theSan Francisco Department on the Status of Women brought 5WCW to the attention of delegates to the Asian-Pacific Economic Women’s Summit as they lobbied to be the Host City in 2015.
