    It’s the fire in my eyes
    And the flash of my teeth,
    The swing in my waist,
    And the joy in my feet.
    I’m a woman
    Phenomenally.

      I was looking through a Popular mechanics magazine and came across a classified ad for Asian mail order brides. It seems to me like a form of sex trade but is acceptable in our society. It targets poverty stricken women who are desperate enough to marry a complete stranger just to escape their circumstances. Who knows how these men will treat them and do they really have a say if they were being abused...they're possessions sold to a foreign land. Every angle I look at it from, it seems similar to many other sex trade scenarios. What's your take in it?

       Please consider joining us in Los Angeles for a very special night to raise our awareness on the important global issue of how to help women and children out of sex slavery. This Sunday at 6pm we will gather at Peace Yoga Gallery in downtown Los Angeles for kundalini yoga, gong healing, raw food, and a screening of the incredible documentary Half The Sky. This movie is about modern day slavery and it launched me into action to raise money for the rescue and rehabilitation of sex trafficking victims in India and around the world. This is a free event and all are welcome. http://www.facebook.com/events/120714354758678/?fref=ts

    We live in a world that gets ever smarter, with the potential to become smarter still. Education is the key:
    "Literacy programs can help break cycles of poverty and unleash America’s potential — and a single F-35 fighter could pay for more than four years of the Reading Is Fundamental program in the entire United States."
    It’s a Smart, Smart, Smart World

    No wonder you loyal readers have such high I.Q.’s. The “Flynn Effect” explains it all.
