Everyday Bliss For Women In Leadership

On a 40-somethings chatboard someone recently asked: So, fess up….how many of you remember the Fuller Brush man coming to your house???? This touched off a flood of memories, and oh lordy! I not only remember the Fuller Brush man, but into my THIRTIES used a *vintage* boar bristle brush bought by my frugal mom in bulk (”Because they were so reasonably priced, dear”) in the late 1960’s. Bob Snyderman from Somewhere-Far-Away was our Fuller Brush man, and everybody, kids and grandmas alike, called him “Bobby Brush”. Mom would see Bobby Brush coming down the street, go freshen her face and tell me to put on the hot water for coffee. I would have hot milk and cookies and help serve Mom and Bobby Brush their coffee and danish. He knew all the suave lines and chatted Mom up marvellously well, complimenting her housekeeping, choice of colors and patterns in furniture as well as in dress. And always, at the appropriate time, he carefully and with genuine concern inquired about Dad’s health and business…

Good Morning Dear Ones!

Today’s theme is “Click-to-Donate”, and is a supplement to my writings on The Giveaway in this month’s Catalyst newsletter. I have been donating free land to ecology projects via EcologyFund.com for about a year. It’s something that anyone can do very simply, from their computer, every day, for free, that does something good for the environment. At EcologyFund.com, you can click once daily on a series of buttons to donate multiple square feet of land in the Amazon rainforest, Scottish nature reserves, East Africa’s national park in Tanzania, Patagonia’s coastal reserve, Mexican wildlife reserves, Canadian wilderness and the western U.S. wilderness. And the best part is that the only output expected from you is to click the site button - no monetary pledge is expected from you. How cool is that? Through EcologyFund’s website I found another great site that is basically a collation of similar click-to-donate sites. Not many of us can afford to donate to twenty or thirty charities at once, but through DonationJunction.com, (which lists EIGHTY-SEVEN different sites), you can click up to once per day at each different website to donate land, clothing, computers for the poor, funds to fight pollution, disease (including breast cancer and AIDS) and hunger, or make donations to clear landmines, support poverty-stricken women and children or save endangered species. DonationJunction.com also features several regional charity sites including ones dedecated to the ongoing efforts of the Chernobyl disaster, Polish, Russian and Irish charities, the Angel Foundation and the United Way. This is a GREAT site; I highly suggest if you feel moved to do so, that you start click-to-donating with DonationJunction.com - one stop nifty!

Felicitations of the Afternoon Dear Hearts…

Bees are buzzing lazily among the lemon blossoms. Hummingbirds absentmindedly sup artificial nectar from the brass ‘n glass feeder, entranced and flying slower than usual. The sun is warm overhead there’s nothing to do for another ten minutes, and on this day people are walking with Death and Choice all around me. War, suicide bombings, friends in deep despair, dear ones with terminal illnesses aching to grab a few more hours, days, minutes, choosing Life in the midst of their own dying. Death and Choice are in the air like an unexpected smell. Death is vogue, Choice is the Happening Thing. And I am in the center of it, breathing. Have you ever been in that place before? Where you are at the center of a maelstrom that you choose not to join, but must somehow engage in?

Click here for Danaya’s Page

This is my friend Danaya Brown. She is the wife of my dear friend Mark and is very sick with leukemia, just came out of her second remission. I’m posting an all points bulletin to energy healers to put her on your healing lists for Reiki, TAT, BSFF, EFT or any other distance healing methods. Danaya is in the terminal care ward of Stanford Hospital’s oncology clinic and is one of the sweetest women I know. Please help if you can. Thank you!
