Thank Baby Jesus its Friday
Things that broke my heart today...
14 yr old girl fled polygamy and abuse
makes me VERY VERY angry. Im trying to do an oral presentation in my "Spirituality and Social Work" class about this, but Im not sure of an example or scenario. Or how to even begin.
-How does this even happen?
-How is this acceptable? rape, molestation, underage marriage, incest, mental, physical, emotional AND sexual abuse. I cant believe this. I dont see even the tiniest shred of respect or dignity for these girls and women in this "situation"
A Girl Like me. Student film on choosing "good" or "bad" and "black" or "white"
heartbroken.
-even the boys chose the white doll. I couldnt take it.
-and where do the other races fit in to this picture?
-how do we stop fueling this horrendous cycle?
Things That made me smile today
-->The veggie sub I had for lunch. Guacamole AND hummus? how can you go wrong. being a vegetarian IS Possible and IS delicious. Veggies are my life.
-->My womens studies body image class. My favorite time of the week. It empowers me and inspires me. I wish it was every day rather than once a week. I personally like to listen to everyones responses and analyze in my head. I like to tie in my experience with philosophy and psychology when I think about society and the media and women and men.
-->Realizing that Im over my ex. Im NOT OVER our relationship and what happened. But I am over the idea that I need or want him back. Im happy. and Im smart and independent. And it turns me on to know that I dont. need. him. anymore. I am a wonderful catch and maybe there is a reason for all this madness after all. Thank you God for helping me make it through this past year it almost killed me! :) but its all good now.
Things I am looking forward to...
*Party for Peace tonight for STAND, all proceeds go to the civilian protection network to protect women in Darfur. YAY
*Going to Rosie Molinarys workshop on Monday...
*I was a teenage feminist on Tuesday...
*Kirkley and the Firecrackers on Thursday...
*Morgan Spurlocks lecture on campus Monday the 22nd!!!
*Domestic Violence events in October...
*Race for the Cure October 4th for breast cancer!!
Things are looking up. Life is short. and for me busy=happy!!!:)
