Tracee, I wish you could be here next week when our alum crew from Women Leaders for the World descends throughout the globe to honor this year’s new tribe of women leaders for 2009 with a grand finale Friday for GWLN.org “Holding up half the sky” via fundraiser. It’s going to be SO inspiring! I’ll be blogging about it on Shaping Youth along w/turning the spotlight on one of our own: Michealene of Tapestries of Hope.com (Betty Makoni’s Girl Child Network documentary about the horrific rapes in Zimbabwe) —it IS amazing to see the resilience and healing in such unimaginable circumstances…Michealene also wrote ‘This is not the life I ordered’ about her own abuse scenario and I’d love to send a copy to you for Christmas as a thank you for being such a great friend of our lil’ fledgling org! DM me w.your snail mail as I bought a few to support her fabulous work!

I’m was listening to this on my iPod this morning while I did the dishes, and I had to stop to wipe my tears several times. It’s sickening, and I think it feels especially so when you have a daughter. But as they say in the book, you also need to think about the success stories. I’m just astounded by the strength of some of the women they wrote about who were so abused and who went on to be so productive. Women amaze me.
