Women Empowering Messages

There are two [women empowering] messages that we have to get out:

1. you do not have to get pregnant because you can use birth control, and
2. you should not get pregnant if you don't have the ability to provide for that child's financial and emotional well-being from the moment of it's birth well into the future.

Overpopulation

Overpopulation is the underlying problem and common thread that runs through all of the other social problems, like malnutrition and disease. (Jane Velez-Mitchell, Addict Nation, p. 196)

I've been working on a project to learn more about the Yahoo photo storage application - Flickr.  I've created photo "sets" for two of my recent photo shoots.  I think reader might like how easy it is for me to share links to the photos using Flickr.

On 9 June 2012 while we were in Norfolk, VA for the weekend we attended OpSail 2012.  I had a great time taking photos of the tail ships.

Melva's quilting class, Sharing The Love Quilters, which meets at the Bowie Senior Center in Bowie, MD  mounted a quilt show at the center which officially started on 15 June 2012.  I went to the center a day early to take photos of the exhibit.

The men and women of our armed forces, who've made so many personal sacrifices to serve our country, should only be asked to risk their lives for an absolutely necessary cause, not seductive delusion. (Jane Velez-Mitchell, Addict Nation, p. 253) 14 June 2012
