Here we are again

It's Friday

and

it looks like time to think about

ways to enjoy the weekend are

right here and right now!

Maybe a trip to the beach?

A trip in the mountains?

A trip to the garden to start preparing for the flowers and the weeds to sprout

and bust forward soon?

Maybe a look see

at what is already in bloom?

It's time

for things to start happening

for snow to melt

and

leaves to move and give way

to

wonderful and exciting things

growing

and

reaching for the light!

Oh the possibilities

are endless!

The beauty, the magic, the birds

are singing and letting me know this morning

of all that is yet to come.

Nature is nurturing

and

people are busy.

Not only are they busy in the gardens of their souls, their yards and homes,

but

remember

it is Womens History Month

and

this month

Women are honoring great women

by the urgency to stand up for their rights

in this hot political climate

where it seems that women

are being pushed out of the arena

and out of the decisions being made that affect them in ways that still make my head want to explode.

Yes I said it, explode

like a seedling now coming into its own,

I stand amazed at some of the things

coming out of politicians mouths

out of the mouths of those who also say

"yea, right, you tell em, we're Americans"

sort of supporters.

The very same people who have Mothers, daughers, sisters, wives

are standing behind

men who want to deny women access to healthcare,

deny women respect and a voice

in issues that will impact their health, their choices, their very rights as human beings.

And I remember all the many and strong women who fought with all their might

to get the right to vote,

who refused to sit in the back of a bus,

who stood

after being beaten

who took care of children

when parents did not have the time.

And

I stand amazed

that we live in 2012

and

women are having to fight like warriors

to be sure that their rights are not stripped

while they are being called names

being vilified for demanding respect

and

the very same rights and choices

of their equals.

And yet,

politicians lie, cheat, steal,

and

try to sell a bag of goods

thinking we as consumers stupid

and

will buy it lock stock and barrel.

Manure is great

when spread with care over the garden we are now fertilizing for our gardens

and

nurturing

and

watering

for what is to come.

But,

the amazing thing

is this:

Women are a force to be reckoned with

and

this month,

as we recognize great and wonderful women

of history,

Women are now going to make history

as

women VOTE

and

women are the backbone of

America...

After all,

remember Adam?

God was making a rough draft for perfection then...

STOMP

Thank you strong women everywhere,

STAND UP

continue to let your voices and your power be known,

as you nurture, feed, speak

for our rights, dignity, choices

in a world that sometimes I believe has gone mad.

How those in power vote, will determine my vote... how bout' you?

Water your grass, feed it well,

that is why it is green, that is why it grows.

Stay out of anothers' private parts, off their grass... That is known as trespass, as envy, as coveting. And it is not respectful.

Women UNITE

and bring those men who respect us with you.

Just sayin!

Just a reminder,

Ok folks, the number is up to 60, only 41 more to go before my book is awarded to someone. Please don't forget to share. I will personally autograph Healing Heartaches to whomever wins!

Good Luck!

Walk in Beauty,

DRSES
