Comment by janice wilson on September 19, 2020 at 10:09pm: "I am an optimist because I know that there is the possibility of change if people really care to make it happen. And that's important, because I never could have done what I did if there hadn't been a groundswell of women in the late 60s and throughout the 70s wanting to tear down the barriers — wanting to free both women and men to be you and me, to follow your own talents as far as they could take you."
-- Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- RIP

Comment by Eva Libre on September 19, 2020 at 8:08pm: “I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability."

— Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The sooner we understand it, the better the World will be for it!

Comment by Nada Jung on March 9, 2020 at 9:19am: This photo makes me emotional it’s so beautiful.

I’ve been getting to know my feminine as if she is new... her name is secret, whisperer only from my mouth. She has eyes deeper then the ocean, surrounded by soft wrinkles.

She weaves magick with a kind heart, and sits comfortably in the void of black creation. She is an ancient priestess and works together with space to stir winds of chaos as well as perform peaceful service. She is life itself. She is the soil that nurishes me, the fierce danger of a blizzard of which I was born, the light wetness of morning dew, the moving energy behind everything that is. She is me as much as she is everything.

Comment by Luna Arjuna on September 21, 2019 at 12:45pm: The woman is at the heart of the home. Let us pray that we women realize the reason for our existence: to love and be loved and through this love become instruments of peace in the world.

- Mother Teresa
