27 Febrero 2012 take two

While reading Whatever It Takes by Paul Tough and Three Cups of Tea by Greg Moritson I wanted to create a school program to bring impoverished children educational access

Then I did.

While reading The Red Tent by Anita Diamont, I wanted to become a woman that lives with her hands and the Earth. Life with a spiritual balance of antiquity and advancement.

Now, I do.

While reading Patti Smiths “Just Kids” I wanted to fall in love and bring more fun into my hard-working lifestyle.

Now, I have.

While reading Lehyma Gbowee’s book “Mighty Be Our Powers” I played with the ideas of being a peace-maker. Working with victims of violence.

Now, while reading Ami McKay’s “The Birth House” I play with the idea of midwifery and healing women.

Amazing how literature is influencing my tomorrow as my head begins to run with ideas of workshops for mothers in my last few months of service and I begin to prepare for the year to come.

The mantra of Maxine Cabbot and my beloved fictional character Dora Rare,

“The world will know and understand me someday. But if that day does not arrive, it does not greatly matter. I shall have opened the way for other women.” –George Sand
