I've been realizing lately that my voice has been stifled for exactly the reasons she mentions in her talk. But, in recent months, I've been discovering my voice matters. And has a power and purpose of its own. Thanks so much for the link, Victoria. <br /><br />I'm glad your flooding has subsided...we've had so much snow this winter, but I was always grateful that it wasn't water. I hope all is well with you and 'the girls'.Deborah Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160226994753285046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-61374079353524869952011-03-21T18:26:50.589-04:002011-03-21T18:26:50.589-04:00Sorry to hear that you're having such trouble ...Sorry to hear that you're having such trouble with the weather....Ours is warm and then cold....And just when things were drying up a bit, it rained last night..ugh! Oh, I would not read such an article.....it's unfortunate and happens all too often all over the world, but why send it to friend, sorry, but it's almost like gauking at an accident on the freeway....I just couldn't do it.........Anyway, hope things dry up for you soon and I know your girls help to keep things grounded as do mine.........Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704537697611988375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-63085411691681263202011-03-12T01:15:21.520-05:002011-03-12T01:15:21.520-05:00A very strong post, Victoria.

So much rain (for two straight days nonstop *before* it became 4 inches of snow). I think our weather moves over to you about 24 hours later.<br /><br />I'm hoping some dry sunny days come your way, along with a little peace and some time off from floods. In the meantime, breathe....detroit doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636798112379229385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-49067703614513631272011-03-11T20:14:01.212-05:002011-03-11T20:14:01.212-05:00Your message about safety for girls and the mother...Your message about safety for girls and the mothers who protect them are not limited to species. It seems the world is getting more violent, not less, unless we have too much access to international horrors and now are aware when a a bus falls off a bridge in Ireland or a hurricane explodes in Japan.<br />Your girls, all of them, are safe during your watch. And the Universe is looking out for you too....Deejbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143307437996045353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-19516578046637912422011-03-11T19:24:38.226-05:002011-03-11T19:24:38.226-05:00We've certainly got to stand together and teac...We've certainly got to stand together and teach our children how to stand up for themselves. I'm proud of your daughter, I can't believe this is happening in schools around here. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about your stall woes. The warmer weather is on the way though, keep the faith. This morning the water was over some roads I had to travel but by this afternoon with the sun shining they had receded. Fingers and toes crossed for a few clear days around here.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-64674606674447127542011-03-11T16:18:16.889-05:002011-03-11T16:18:16.889-05:00Dark days, indeed.

How does the water get into the barn? Your place has taken such a beating this year. The weather has been so extreme everywhere.<br />As for the other topic...people go on their merry way and so many don't even think about the problems that exist.

The stories I could tell ;)<br /><br />I wonder if we can ever get to the point where we are <b>humans</b> first.
