Save Our Internet. Really.

Satyagraha

by Beth on December 9, 2011

A thousand thanks to blog friend Susannah Azzaro for sending me this video. She has shared it on her beautiful blog today, also. In view of the shameful, violent crack-downs on peaceful citizens exercising their First Amendment rights, and which are going largely unreported, at this pivotal moment of transformation, I offer this.  It is [...]

I love The Young Turks videos. This spells out new details of exactly how the banking bailout was the biggest swindle in American history. We have been robbed blind, you and me, and no one is doing anything about it, except all those people in the streets.

The Brilliant Jen Louden Explains Why It Matters

by Beth on October 22, 2011

As you know, on the weekends, I usually share art, poetry, or views from other visionaries. Today’s post is certainly that, and more. You see, Jen Louden is one of my real SHE-roes.

Standing with the American Autumn

by Beth on October 6, 2011

From the blog of a young woman who has studied under Joanna Macy, who is a part of the Pagan cluster and is on the front lines in Occupy DC, which is a part of the greater transformational energy moving and growing before our eyes. Thank you, beautiful Riyana, for standing for us. I am [...]

Best Wishes to the Women of Saudi Arabia!

by Beth on September 25, 2011

History has been made.  While they still can’t drive, or leave the country unaccompanied, and many other demeaning restrictions remain for now, the women of Saudi Arabia will at last be given the right to vote and hold public office.
