These are interesting times! On 9/11/2001, I watched the World Trade Towers explode and collapse, on live TV. Behind the horror, I actually felt some excitement; “Maybe something really revolutionary will happen now.” It was just 9 months after G. W. Bush claimed office with apparent ease, even though the specter of a corporate takeover of our democratic process loomed visibly behind well-reported election fraud.

I just made some changes to the political blog article, so I hope you read it again, if you have already (click on Read More and then All Blogs). This is a potent article that took me days to compose, and as you'll see, it's written with a lot of love.

There have been times when I ignored the news (I still ignore much of mainstream media). Thus, I understand that response. In this article, however, you will find tools to make reading the news OK and hopefully to empower you to activism from the heart. And after you read it, please comment!

Enjoy, Gayatri

PS I think the Asheville gas shortage is bogus. I've talked with people around the country and they don't have a shortage. Could it be we are being called upon as a city of light? Here's a website that might help you find gas. I'd call them first:

Seasonal change is highlighted this fall with the United States presidential election, the outcome of which affects our global stage. Interestingly, women and women’s issues have been highlighted in a way that is different from ever before, starting with Hillary Clinton running for president and receiving 18 million votes. Although, she didn’t win the nomination, her popularity for this high office certainly made it clear that women and women voters are a powerful force in today’s politics.

The Democratic Convention was launched by an amazing speech given by a woman—Michelle Obama, attorney, mother of two and wife of the Democratic presidential nominee. While Barack Obama didn’t pick Hillary Clinton to be his running mate, he did select a man who, like himself, has supported women’s issues politically and who does so personally by being committed to his family.
