To all you Mother's out there old and young, with children to take care of, or ones fortunate enoug to be cared for by their children and to those just doing their thing one day at a time- A Very Beautiful, calm, serene and fun filled Happy Mother's Day! For myself, a cup of tea- children are still asleep and then driving around town to put posters up for my upcoming event: Breaking Barriers: From Maine to New Delhi which melds my eastern and western perspectives to make a bridge for the sharing of Issues, Ideas and Solutions, such as the Self Help Groups in rural India, one of my fondest interviews as I watched these women who had been suppressed behind the Ghoonghats of their saris that covered their faces now rise up full of self esteem and start small businesses, employ other women and even build a federation with elected representatives to solve mutual problems. They were all going to educate their young, they said, especially their girls. Please take a few moments to read this evocative and poignant interview underlayed with these women's humor in very difficult circumstances: http://worldviewpoints.com/vupoints/newDelhi_viewpoints.html
