Happy International Women's Day!

I thought I'd celebrate with three songs, all very different but all with a message:

Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin in what has become an anthem for women, Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves -

Two organisations worth investigating are kiva.org and worldvisionmicro.org.

Oh wow, I haven’t heard “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” in years. That’s excellent!

It’s hard to believe even now in this day and age there are still countries like Iran that make it illegal for women to drive. I think any country that wants to ‘dumb down’ 50% of their population and doesn’t fully appreciate and embrace their women does so at their peril.

I come hiding behind my hands. Creeping back for forgiveness. Wonderful post. I put something up on facebook late last night but wish I'd done something here too.

I really have no excuses or words to say for my pathetic absence, but please know that I have been thinking of you, and know that things have not been easy for you. I sincerely hope that, seeing this bright and brilliant post, that things are easier now. Life. It's a curious thing, is it not? I know too.

Lots of love and hugs from many miles but not many thoughts away.
