I may not get a thousand words in today...heck, I barely get them in in a month...I have to get better at this. although i have been working on the novel so that's got to count...right? but I already digress.
Have you seen the Independent Lens presentation on pbs of "Half the Sky"? It aired here Oct 1 and 2 but I go to bed so early that I had to stream it yesterday. I've seen the whole first part and I'm about a third of the way through the second part. WATCH...before they take it away...
It is one of THE most inspiring pieces of journalism I have ever seen. The spirit of these women and men who are working tirelessly within their country to change personal and political circumstances for women is so strong and inspiring, this is the reason I'm putting this in the thousand words of joy. It is truly a joy to know there are people like that out there. And the women and children who are finding freedom from their abusers are remarkable.
