NAZANINWe aredrowning ininformationbut starvingforknowledge-Rogers
This is the year of action!
This is a war,
and with any war there are casualties
and sacrifices.
"Well Petra, what can I do?
I am only one person."
We can all do something.
Now I don't expect ya'll to be crazy like meand devote your life to this stuff
but it is amazing what you can do.
Let our forefathers teach us.
This is a Petra Luna rework of
the John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address,
Friday, January 20, 1961.In your hands,
my fellow soldiers,
more than in mine,will rest the final
success or failure
of our course and cause.
Since the War On Abuse was founded
in 2006,
each soldier has been summonedto give testimony
to his or her loyalty to the cause.
Our promise is :
that the deceased
abuse victims who had no one to fight
for them will not have died in vain.
We hear their cries
from beyond the grave
and will continue
to fight for them at any cost.Now the trumpet summons us
—not as a call to bear arms,
though arms we need;
not as a call to battle,
though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden
of a long twilight struggle,year in and year out,"rejoicing in hope,
patient in tribulation"
—a struggle against the common enemies
of all of us:
cultural influences that promote abuse,
inappropriate pornography,
patriarchal and religious
interpretations that fuel the problem of abuse,
sex offenders,
child prostitution
and human trafficking rings for the sex trade,
child abusers,
spouse beaters
and the list goes on and on.
Can we forge against these enemies
a grand and global alliance,
North and South, East and West,
that can assure an abuse free life for all mankind
as well as animals?
Will you join in that historic effort?In the long history of the world,
only a few generations have been granted
the role of defending freedom from abuse
in its hour of maximum danger.
I do not shrink from this responsibility
—I welcome it.I do not believe that any of us
would exchange places with any other people
or any other generation.
The energy, the faith,
the devotion
which we bring to this endeavor
will light our world and all who serve it
—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow warriors:
ask not what your legal system can do for you
—ask what you can do for your cause.
My fellow citizens of the world:
ask not what society will do for you,
but what together we can do for the
freedom of all from abuse.Does this motivate you???
If you stand beside us please
SO LET'S STAND AND FIGHT THIS WAR ON ABUSE TOGETHER!!!A fire
that no longer
blazes
is quickly smothered
in ashes
Only a true love
that
scorches & dazzles
is
worthy of the
name
Mine is like that
-Julliette Drouet(1914)This Banner was made by an Abuse Survivor~With truth and faith these eyes do shine,
No lies passes these eyes of mine,
With each blink and with each stare,
The truth alone shall be laid bare."
"
Peace and harmony, act as a balm,
Give me a sense of calm,
Stress is busted, anxieties flee,
Serenity now shines forth from me.CLICK ON PIC TO JOIN GROUP AGAINST ABUSE!!!This is written in the Hebrew Talmud,
the book
where all of the sayings and preaching
of
Rabbis are conserved over time.
It says:
"Be very careful if you make a woman
cry,
because God counts her tears.
The woman came out of a man's rib.
Not from his feet
to be
walked on.
Not from his head
to be superior,
but
from the side
to be equal.
Under the arm to be protected,
and next
to the heart
to be loved."Lead us not into Temptation...----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------

I would be willing to meet with any person
who would be willing to meet me~
I often find that I am introducing myself to people
in the grocery stores,
as well as on the streets&resturants
~especially the small children~
It appears that children and I
have similiar interests~ {crazi huh?}
I would rather sit with them ~
no matter where it may be~
even if it was making my Favorite Mud Pies~{any flavor}I am fond of and have much admiration
for the young and old alike~
I love to observe those times
in the very young ones lifes as
~the beginninng~
As well a the lifes of the elders ~
who have so much to share
with the lifes they have lived~
the stories of how it once was~
there appears to be no DRAMA
Just with the life we choose to lead
in between those times
for those are our own given choices
I have learned
Which is often referred to as
"LIVING" through experiences and your choices~
Today~ I seek

It doesn't matter what you been through
,where you come from, who your parents are~
nor your social or economic status.
None of that matters.
What matters is how you choose to love,
how you choose to express that love
through your work, through your family,
through what you have to give the world...
Be a QUEEN.....
Own your POWER and your GLORY!
~Oprah WinfreyIf I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you,
and share with you its beauty
on the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
you could call your very own,
a place to find serenity,
a place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
but all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
or catch a rainbow fair,
but let me be what I know best,
a friend who's always there.

Grant that I may
become beautiful
in my soul within,
and that all myexternal possessions
be in harmonywith my inner self~Into the backgroundI now fade,
Fully transparentI must be made,
Unnoticed, unseen,by eyes that probe ,
I move aboutcloakedin an astral robe.I myselfgrowing more denseand easy to see
I make the changefrom spirit to form,
From and empty cold spotto a body warm,
I'm solid and vibrant ,a prescence clear,
This cannot be mistaken,I simply am here.The great endof lifeis notknowledgebut

A True Classic!A Guide for Women Survivors
of Child Sexual Abuse
by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis
Ellen Bass, who has been working with survivors of child sexual abuse for over a decade, and Laura Davis, herself a survivor of child sexual abuse, weave personal experience, professional knowledge, and moving stories and reflections from other survivors, to tell the survivors how she can come to terms with her past while moving powerful into the future.Rudyard Kipling.
If
you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs
and blaming it on you;
If
you can trust yourself when
all men doubt you,
But
make allowance for their doubting too:
If
you can wait and not
be tired by waiting,
Or,
being lied about,
don't deal in lies,
Or being hated
don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good,nor talk too wise;If you can dream
- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think
- and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with
Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors
just the same:.
If
you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or
watch the things you gave your life to,
broken,
And stoop and build'em up
with worn-out tools;If
you can take
one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on
one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose,
and start again at your beginnings,
And
never breathe a word about your loss:
If
you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn
long after they are gone,
And say hold on
when there is nothing in you
Except
the Will which says to them:"Hold on!"If
you can talk
with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or
walk with Kings
- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes
nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you,
but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds'
worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth
and everything that's in it,
And
- which is more -
you'll be a Man, my son!YOU ARE A SURVIVOR

Request:
I understand the weather in Iraq is very difficult to bear right now. Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance and safety.
I am sorry but I am not breaking this one. Send this on after a short prayer; please don't break it:
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need.
I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen."
