Impower You

Impower yourself. As an individual you have so much power. Follow what makes you happy and share it with the world. You matter.

The STUPA!

What’s your favorite place in Crestone? Casa Del Soul wants to know.

Empower yourself and others with knowledge and compassion. Harassment just causes hate between opposing views.

A Debate of Imbalance

There is definitely still a huge imbalance as far as who is getting published and it saddens me that we still think that lighter skin is going to sell more. I am not sure that is actually true anymore. Either advertisers and publishers just think it is or consumers are still fairly racist.

I suppose my view of what I want(as a consumer and a reader) is different since my family is so mixed and I have always lived in racially mixed neighborhoods and made new friends each year that I had tons in common with, but were different skin shades, sexuality’s and beliefs. I forget that the world has been set up with so many prejudices until I go out into or read something out of my zone.

hey windbag!

Awww, chuck “the windbag” winder. What words of wisdom will you share next week?? Perhaps a bill to make war veterans undergo medical tests before receiving an artificial limb? You know, in case they lied and really lost that leg in a mowing accident at home.
People like this are the reason I stand up for human rights.  What a douche! He suggests women would lie about rape so they can have an abortion. How do people like that get elected? How can they even stand up erect and piss?

Act Now to Restore CASA Program Funding (by CASAforChildren)

I volunteered with CASA in San Diego years ago. It is a wonderful organization that teams up foster kids with court advocates who are also mentors and friends.This program is vital to showing foster kids that are stuck in the system that they can go on to lead productive lives and be accepted in society.  CASA is about to lose all federal funding. Please check out this video and TAKE ACTION!

Politicians and Contradictions Are Like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

I do, I don’t, I will, I won’t, Yes, No….. This rampant contradiction is a major reason people are not interested in politics. There is no trust in politics when our leaders act this way. So many politicians say one thing and then destroy what they said by saying something completely different. Yes people are allowed to change thier mind, but not at this rate and not on such important issues.

For example, telling women they are second class citizens hurts men as well. We all suffer when some of us are oppressed. Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan is doing just this. By trying to make peace he is going down a road that will only cause more inequality, more violence, more unhappiness, more wars. It is time for our politicians to stick to what they promise and stop caving in to those who wish to oppress condemn and put down. We will not have peace until we can accept everyone as equal of love and respect.
