I think even my great-grandmother would agree. Women should have power over themselves and STOP giving it away to men. The people who hurt us the most usually do so because we allow it.Lilly Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085355337721818824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-27369612277627081642010-08-11T18:19:12.511+02:002010-08-11T18:19:12.511+02:00ANITA: With your exciting MFA course (and 4 kids a...ANITA: With your exciting MFA course (and 4 kids and a husband and a job...), I think you're doing a *marvellous* job of being courageous and independent!!

Wise words of encouragement teach us to reflect on the paths tread and the one's before us too. Thanks for the reminder.<br /><br />I know that I follow you on Facebook and I thought I was a follower here but I wasn't. I corrected the oversight ;-). I think we're twitter co-dependent as well. I'll rush out to check right now.<br /><br />*waves*Pamala Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823051545160002135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-81547171164131903082010-08-10T09:27:29.861+02:002010-08-10T09:27:29.861+02:00DAVIN: You're so right!

I deal with it by seeing that all (irrespective of biology or gender or race) have *equal potential* to fulfill as individual souls. This potential should be seen within the context of our differing personal circumstances; this is where power over the Self comes in (or self-mastery. (Sorry, that's a very superficial explanation of the evolution of the soul, but not really the type of theory that can be discussed in a comment! Much better suited to a discussion over coffee and cake!) :)<br /><br />JUDITH: As always, great to have you pop in and visit the blog.<br /><br />CAROL: I'm glad you found my blog too! :) Welcome.<br /><br />I've entered you all in the book draw.Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-32792382516031074952010-08-09T21:28:02.578+02:002010-08-09T21:28:02.578+02:00I am a new follower and I would love to read any o...I am a new follower and I would love to read any of the books in this contest.<br /><br />I am very glad to find your blog.<br /><br />CarolNWong(at)aol(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-30680571009571236172010-08-09T19:55:10.418+02:002010-08-09T19:55:10.418+02:00I already follow you and look forward to your thou...I already follow you and look forward to your thoughtful posts always.

Thanks for doing such a great job promoting women writers in the region. <br /><br />And as for feminisim- I'm with you. Being a woman is a wonderful thing, now if we can just pull all of the women up to a position where they're also able to see that. <br />Happy SA Women's Day!!Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.com
