Today is International Day of the Girl. After so much political, partisan, media fueled conflict in recent days, I was happy to see positive things pop up in my news feeds this morning.
One year ago today, I visited Ottawa Parliament Hill. Les femmes sont des personnes! I posed for this “tongue in cheeky” photo. Pure Kismet that it popped up in my “Facebook memories” on the International Day of the Girl. I then started reading my news briefs and discovered the Obama Foundation had launched the Global Girls Alliance. Still feeling hopeful…….
ARTISTIC PENSION 
Hope is all I got right now, and not much of it anymore. Thanks Tracey, for this post.

It makes me sad that in 2018 we are still talking about rights for women and girls 😕

Right! As I was thinking what to post, I recalled reading in WordPress from a woman who thinks education brings undue hardship into a marriage. As if there aren’t enough hassles without women getting in each others way. Made me so angry. Fortunately, not too many followers on her page…..

As I’m reading this comment, I am thinking Hmmmm…she could be on to something – let’s keep the men we marry “dumb”, they are easier to handle then. Less hardship, definitely 😉
Sorry, just the devil in me….
