Congratulations! You survived Election 2012. It was exciting and great for women. Here’s the best of what I bookmarked this
week, all related to women and being American.
Happy Veterans Day!
Women Veterans
Veterans Advantage |
Rape in the Military
The Invisible War |
It is vital to raise awareness of the epidemic of rape in the military as we
continue to strive in our country for the elimination of and healing from crimes against women. For more information see the website, Not Invisible, where you can watch the trailer, request a screening, and obtain information on having your voice heard.
Celebrating Women Senators
Do you know all of the recently elected female U.S. Senators? I love this presentation I found on Prezi:
Let's Not Forget Our Widows
Back in April, Anna Mahler, a regular contributor to Wednesday's Woman spotlighted Taryn Davis, founder of the American Widow Project. Veterans Day is certainly a time to keep our widows in our thoughts.
Women Do Not Belong in the Kitchen
The American Widow Project |
“While the service member’s sacrifice is acknowledged, many simply forget or fail to recognize the sacrifice of the spouse who is now left a widow of war. Often times the invisible wounds of military widows are disregarded due to age or a simple lack of knowledge and understanding." ~Taryn DavisThe American Widow Project provides peer to peer support for a new generation of military widows. For more information go here: The American Widow Project.
Women Do Not Belong in the Kitchen
This has nothing to do with the election or veterans. I simply feel compelled to share.
The trouble with depression is indolence becomes my best friend. Time with my best friend keeps me from doing things like chores, exercising, reading, and the like. However, depression and its accompanying sloth does give a great excuse for leaving the dishes, which I despise doing.
Even though I am happy to report that I am gaining momentum (yesterday I raked leaves and cleaned
out my car with the help of my youngest daughter, Antonia), I could not bring myself to tackle that sink. This morning, my significant other did it for me. Thanks, M. I seriously do not belong in the kitchen.

These dishes have been accumulating since Thursday, a true, off-line, Save It for Later. |
