As defined by Mahatma Gandhi: In India when people meet and part they often say, Namaste' which means: "I honor the place within you where the entire Universe resides; I honor the place within you of love, of light, of truth, of peace; I honor the place within you, where, when you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us."

BITCHOLOGY
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.
And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

Can't believe it's been 25 years...
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

All these animal stories today must be some kind of *omen*...
"Orca population to be listed as endangered -
Federal agency heeds activists, raises protections for Northwest group"
Today must be 'love animal' day for me... btw, don't know that I would want to live that long unless I too was still able to wallow in the mud! LOL!! Oh, notice that Harriet is a *she*... sorry guys! :)
"Tortoise turns 175, but she’s not slowing down -
Possibly oldest living animal on Earth, Harriet still gets out, wallows in mud"
Saw this "warm fuzzy" story from my area in yesterday's Flint Journal & noticed it made one of the top stories on MSNBC... I can see why...
"Company donates artificial leg for puppy -
4-month-old 'Peg' was born without an ankle joint or right paw"

"Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead," O'Reilly said, according to a 'transcript and audio posted' by liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America, and by the San Francisco Chronicle.
"And if al-Qaida comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco."

What do you think of evangelist 'Pat Robertson's' claim that a vote against intelligent design in public schools is a 'vote' against God?
It's justifiably righteous anger. 10%
It's misguided, but his heart is in the right place. 6%
It's pure idiocy. 80%
It's none of the above. 4%

'NBC/WSJ poll' shows president at new lows in all job approval categories
IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE IDIOT!?!
This story focused on the poorest area in Mississippi also being the poorest in the US. The pro-lifers want abortion outlawed at all costs. They want to talk to women about reasons not to abort and then send them on their way with a stroller, baby food, and toys which apparently they think is enough to sustain them for raising the child to adulthood. If they would put all their efforts into providing women with financial education support, the *need* to have an abortion would be greatly reduced.
Recent news coverage has focused on the new Roberts Supreme Court and 'how its decisions might affect abortion' -- an issue that has divided the country for decades. Later this month, the Court will take up its first major abortion case in five years: 'Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England'.

WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT!?!
DiaperFreeBaby is a network of free support groups promoting a natural approach to responding to babies' elimination needs. This practice is followed worldwide and is known as Elimination Communication, Natural Infant Hygiene, and Infant Potty Training. The process involves observing one's baby's signs and signals, providing cue sounds and elimination-place associations, and can be done with or without any diaper use.
