"Women hold up half the sky" - Chinese Proverb The book I would like to share with all of you this month is called Half the Sky written by Nicholas Kristof & Cheryl Wudunn. This couple are actually journalists who have covered stories worldwide. This book is a must-read for everyone. It shares candid stories of women all over the world and the difficulties that are faced by them. Prostitution, Sex-trafficking, Rape, War, Childbirth , Education - and how you can help. By reading you can understand a little bit more of how people are living in countries like India, Pakistan, Africa..makes you feel really blessed and fortunate. Most importantly, it makes me realise I should do something to help these women, and not just by donating. Sure the world is free from slavery, but these women are still tied down as 2nd class citizens; the book calls them the 21st century slaves. Unable to have a say in anything decisions, forced to do what their husbands/societies ask them to, it...
Oreja & I have some pics to share with you of the cats that live at our backlane. I started to "befriend/be a slave" to them about a couple of months ago when I was doing the dishes in the kitchen and heard some cats meow-ing. So it became a routine of feeding them at night and sometimes for lunch if we're around. They would know immediately when someone's in the kitchen and will meow their little lungs out for dinner. Today we got a chance to see them durng lunch and after they ate, they immediately went to the shade and rested..well I'd call it POSE. They are such posers!! The joker on the left is the one that will meow non-stop till someone feeds it. The one on the right is the timid one..never heard it meow as of yet. Miss Middle will jump to get the food. Cheetah girls or pussycat dolls? The one on the right is the smart one. Once she finished eating, she'll lookout for me to see where I'm tossing next. They heard our neighbours talking and went ...
There is a time for everything, And a season for every activity under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die A time to plant and a time to uproot, A time to kill and a time to heal, A time to tear down and a time to build, A time to weep and a time to laugh, A time to mourn and a time to dance, A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain, A time to search and a time to give up, A time to keep and a time to throw away, A time to tear and a time to mend, A time to be silent and a time to speak, A time to love and a time to hate, A time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Bobo Saying Goodbye Rest in Peace, Brownie. We miss you loads. ~5th February 2009~
