			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Feminine Light in the Middle East: A Vision of Women, Worth and Purpose in support of Men who Honor and A New Legacy for our Children</p>
<p>The Feminine Light in the Middle East is a unique experience, a day at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on November 16th, 2011, this year to begin our story as women and to reveal the beauty of our worth and to appreciate the men who honor the value of our energy, our love, our joy and our talents. This is a day of giving birth to a collective voice of women and men who cherish their abilities to lead, to make a difference in the world by recognizing publicly the value and purpose of women in a way that is safe and happy for men&#8217;s own value and contentment.</p>
<p>This event is to create the formation of a unified vision and supportive voice for women in the Middle East and strives to form an action plan focused on:</p>
<p>Establishing a collective vision of womanhood and voice of women globally, particularly as it pertains to the women of the Middle East.<br />
Making conscious one&#8217;s self-worth as a woman and that of all women to balance the power between women&#8217;s spiritual resources and men&#8217;s physical resources.<br />
Creating a group challenge resolution approach for identifying key issues for women regarding their security, worth and purpose.<br />
Raising funds to pursue established goals through various charitable organizations who operate in the Middle East.<br />
Promoting a deliberate communal relationship base for intercontinental communications.<br />
Sharing mutually lives in a supportive context.<br />
Experiencing a rebirth of womanhood.<br />
Giving creative contributions, your vision and your voice.<br />
Contributing to an action plan in the Middle East that continues after the conference to build momentum and global collaboration affecting profound change in women&#8217;s lives in order to leave a new legacy for our children.<br />
Being in a day of discovery and triumph!<br />
Enjoying the music, sounds, tastes and festivities of a celebration and a raffle!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #993300;">The Test of Love</span></h2>
Three trials endure the heart to be moved and from that place the test of love can be experienced and integrity seen as true. What are these tests? These trials can be experienced in any order and they are:

The trial of facing challenges together. The trial of acceptance. And the trial of joy.

No matter which test a relationship begins with, it is important that all three trials are experienced as the foundation of true love. The question of integrity is presented at each trial to reveal the truth of the relationship's strength. Some relationships begin with facing challenges, while others begin with the connection of joy or even acceptance and friendship. However the relationship begins, the growth cycle of the relationship will eventually move through each of these trials. Some relationships only move through one cycle however short or long that cycle is lived to reveal a new cycle. When that new cycle begins, a choice to continue in that cycle is presented to both individuals. Sometimes the relationship ends, sometimes it is possible to make a commitment to each other to grow into that next phase. Sometimes the pressures of that next phase show the importance of separating and honoring each other in the need for individual growth and soul evolution. What determines the type of connection you have with another is predicated on your own requirements for your own joy. As a woman, your joy is paramount to your spirit's health and the health of the world. (See the book "The Feminine Light" for more information as well as the questions regarding your Joy in the  Feature April, 2011 as well as the Feature November, 2009 for turning darkness into light.) Some relationships are only meant to be experienced to help you live through a certain cycle and others are more enduring. The type of relationship to be experienced is the type of relationship that speaks to your soul. What your soul requires is the unfolding of your own growth and how you experience the relationships in your life mirrors the journey of your soul. For some people, growth requires transitions in relationships, for others a long lasting commitment can be made based upon the recognition of love. What type of relationship does your soul require? How can you recognize a deeper love? The three trials of love can help you to access the relationship you are in as well as honor who you are in that relationship.

The trial of facing challenges together is a challenge when faced is the strongest connection in a relationship, keeping each other safe. The challenges that bind people together have the ability to reveal a supportive love that is immense. Whatever the challenge whether financial, physical, emotional, social, spiritual or mental, or many times all together, this challenge is a recognition of]]></description>

(See the book &#8220;The Feminine Light&#8221; for more information as well as the questions regarding your Joy in theÂ  Feature April, 2011 as well as the Feature November, 2009 for turning darkness into light.) Some relationships are only meant to be experienced to help you live through a certain cycle and others are more enduring.

How can you recognize a deeper love? The three trials of love can help you to access the relationship you are in as well as honor who you are in that relationship.</p>
<p>The trial of facing challenges together is a challenge when faced is the strongest connection in a relationship, keeping each other safe. The challenges that bind people together have the ability to reveal a supportive love that is immense. Whatever the challenge whether financial, physical, emotional, social, spiritual or mental, or many times all together, this challenge is a recognition of the strength and durability of the relationship.</p>
<p>What challenges has your relationship faced?</p>
<p>How has your relationship dealt with these challenges?</p>
<p>What was your contribution?</p>
<p>What was your partner&#8217;s contribution?</p>
<p>How has your relationship come out on the other side of the challenges?</p>
<p>How do you love one another?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The trial of acceptance reveals the true nature of one another&#8217;s sense of humanity. This trial teaches about the excesses of pride and our ability to be self-accepting as men and women. Often times, this trial is the most revealing in terms of one&#8217;s true nature as the excesses of pride can threaten the very existence of a relationship, one to be built upon mutual love and respect. Sometimes it is necessary for one&#8217;s soul growth to rightly claim one&#8217;s pride. To be able to build one&#8217;s self-esteem is congruent with the importance with the unfolding of life. At this time, a relationship can undergo many hardships as each other cries for growth. Sometimes, it is only one person in the relationship that experiences a need for something more. How you are during this cycle of acceptance allows you to understand the need for your own self-love. This challenge is a recognition of mutual respect and value as human beings no matter who you are in your essential selves as well as man and woman.</p>
<p>Do you accept and respect yourself as a woman?</p>
<p>Do you accept and respect the man in your life?</p>
<p>Do you experience respect as a woman in your relationship? </p>
<p>How does he show you that he loves and values you?</p>
<p>Can you give yourself permission to grow, evolve and change?</p>
<p>How can you allow the other to grow without feeling threatened?</p>
<p>What is it about your relationship that enables you to make a commitment to one another&#8217;s growth?</p>
<p>Can you remain together at this time or do you feel the need to separate?</p>
<p>How can you honor each other during this cycle of a relationship?</p>
<p>How do each of you show appreciation of one another&#8217;s value?</p>
<p>Is that working?</p>
<p>How can it be better for both of you?</p>
<p>What does that tell you about your relationship?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The trial of joy can be the most fun, but as well potentially the most damaging. It is easy to become a &#8220;victim&#8221; of the innocence of joy. The soul is attracted to joy, to the experience of pleasure and the illusion of fulfillment. For in this cycle, the challenge must be made conscious if the relationship is to survive. To understand the nature of a relationship requires a unique blend of both feeling and thoughtfulness. Feeling is a result of the type of connection experienced between people and thoughtfulness is the explicit awareness of the types of exchange of love. It is here that true fulfillment or the illusion of fulfillment becomes apparent. Any fall from joy or a sense of fulfillment or the recognition of worth, from whatever heights, is the loss of love and as such effects for both women and men. For some this can be devastating, while for others the effects are experienced more casually. The determining factor for how these effects will be experienced, is not only the depth of connection toward one another, but as well the investment toward fulfillment each other has for the other. With the loss of joy often times equating to the loss of love, managing  well in this cycle requires the recognition of joy as paramount for the  relationship to survive. Joy can be seen in any number of ways, for men  it is often times the need to be sexual to maintain a connection to the  source of the woman through play and sexual activities. And as well,  activities that allow him to relax and have fun. For the woman, joy is  often the experience of moving toward her own self-fulfillment. In  receiving support toward her fulfillment, her own sense of value, she  can experience joy. This is why it is key to &#8220;know thyself&#8221;. Without a conscious understanding of how you want to be fulfilled through the relationship, unconsciousness is the creation ofÂ  illusion, the very hotbed ofÂ  broken dreams and a sense of being &#8220;victimized&#8221;. On the other hand, promises made clearly with integrity once acted upon from a place of consciousness create a space for the the relationship to flourish in joy. This challenge is a recognition of depth and desire.</p>
<p>What is your joy, your sense of fulfillment?</p>
<p>What joy brings you together?</p>
<p>What joy is felt to be missing?</p>
<p>What do you receive for the expression of your joy?</p>
<p>What brings out your joy?</p>
<p>Can you let the man experience his joy without recrimination?</p>
<p>Do you support a man&#8217;s joy?</p>
<p>Do you feel your joy is gratifying?</p>
<p>If not, what do you feel you need to feel more gratified?</p>
<p>Is this missing sense of gratification due to your own lack of self-awareness or is it because you are not receiving something?</p>
<p>What do you need to be more aware of for yourself or what do you need to receive?</p>
<p>How will claiming your joy affect your relationship?</p>
<p>What pros and cons must you weigh in order to claim your joy?</p>
<p>What type of joy is your highest priority?</p>
<p>What structure defines and contains safely your relationship of joy?</p>
<p>Is it working for both of you?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Relationships to be healthy must be built upon trust, yet, innocence is not an excuse for the absence of wisdom except in our youth. Innocence may be the basis behind an emotional connection and better yet if it is, however, the exchange of energies and love between a man and woman is best structured whether in a marriage, an arrangement, an offering through courtship or even simply respect at work. A sense of &#8220;victimization&#8221; takes place when one or the other feels somehow short-changed in the relationship. The value first given and wanted is no longer appreciated. That does not mean the value is not there, but solely that either person is no longer satisfied with what is and wants more. Sometimes a relationship is meant to experience and appreciate all the three trials of love through their lives together, while at other times a relationship is only meant to live in love for the duration of the test. How is trust built in a relationship particularly when the integrity of the person or situation is questionable, yet we are called to live in that relationship? Trust is built by honoring ourselves with integrity and by becoming conscious of the choices we have made whether for better or worse in the realizations of our own illusions and falls from love or in the fulfillment of ourselves. What does your man give to you and want to give to you? Is that fulfilling? Trust in the relationship is built in time and through the three trials of love. The test of love&#8230; knowing thyself, one&#8217;s value and sharing yourself, your love, with others who appreciate the value of who you are, your love and joy.</p>
<p>May all your lessons in self-knowledge keep you safe and happy in the unfolding of your life and love&#8230;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #993300;">The question of... If</span></h2>

I recently had eye surgery and I was contemplating how women view their worlds. After a few weeks of recovery, I was watching a program about the photography of Joey Lawrence shooting in Africa and as I did, I was looking at the women in their communities/tribes and wondering if they were content... Aside from cultural and collective differences, needs and desires, as well as pending threats of war... how did these women experience their lives? Were they content? Were they happy? Did they want anything more from their lives? And if so, what would it be?

So it got me thinking... if we as women were all happy in our everyday lives, and when I say that, I mean if we were in relationships where ideally we were taken care of and we felt accountable for our own lives as women and safe as well as experiencing the joy of expressing out talents and abilities.... what would we want to say as women?

A few questions for you...If you felt safe and happy in a world of your own making...

What would that world be?

Who would you be in that world as a woman?

What would you want to say as a woman?

What would you want to say for women collectively?

What is important to you to express?

How would you choose to spend your days?

What is meaningful to you?]]></description>

<p>U. How would you like to be remembered?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gender work issues reveal not only who we are,Â  but how we see ourselves to be. The &#8220;being&#8221; woman in the workplace can often have many different types of challenges depending on the level of mutual respect that both women and men have for each other.Â  The ability to respect oneself as either a woman or man is the first step toward self-ownership and gives us the awareness of sharing our lives communally. From this awareness, the seeds to make possible an appreciation of humanity are grown. What do gender work issues reveal about you?</p>

Top 10 Shocking Attacks about a War on Women:

1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't yet. Shocker.

2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."

3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)

<p>1) Republicans not only want to reduce women&#8217;s access to abortion care, they&#8217;re actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven&#8217;t yet. Shocker.</p>
<p>2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to &#8220;accuser.&#8221; But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain &#8220;victims.&#8221;</p>
<p>3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)</p>
<p>4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids. </p>
<p>5) In Congress, Republicans have a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.</p>
<p>6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids&#8217; preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.</p>
<p>7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.davincismuse.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.</p>
<p>9) Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.</p>
<p>10) And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can&#8217;t make this stuff up).</p>

<p>Never before has it been so easy to get a &#8220;date&#8221; but so hard to find true love. In our liberated, modern, techno-savvy world, opportunities to connect with a potential partner are endless: we can speed date, shop online for a mate, go on a lunch date, get set-up or even just hook-up (with no strings attached!). But amidst the swirl of choices facing us, and the pressure of our fast-paced busy lives, the prospect of finding not just â€œsomeone,â€ but â€œthe oneâ€ feels increasingly out of reach. You might even be wondering if itâ€™s really possible to find someone whoâ€™s a true Soulmate, a best friend and equal, a life partner who you can fully share yourself with in every way. Fortunately for all of us, a small group of dedicated experts have devoted their lives to â€œcracking the codeâ€ to attracting and sustaining DEEP and true loveâ€”the kind of love and partnership your heart most longs for and desires. These authors, luminaries, transformation experts, scientists and coaches have been researching and exploring for decades how to attract and create great love. And together, they have successfully taught millions of singles from around the world how to &#8220;magnetize&#8221; the relationship of their dreams. In fact, each of them holds a transformational key that will work for anyone who applies it. Their combined insights cover virtually everything you need to know to become a love magnet to attract your soulmate.</p>
<p>And starting this Valentine&#8217;s day, for the first time ever, these top relationship experts are all coming together in ONE place to share their secrets and deep expertiseâ€”right here, on your computerâ€”and the best news is&#8230; itâ€™s FREE.  Participation Is FREE There is no cost to participate in this live, interactive event. Thanks to our generous sponsors, and to all the experts who have volunteered their time, we are able to offer this event to you for FREE. All you need is a computer to participate from anywhere in the world</p>
<p>Topics we&#8217;ll cover include how to:</p>
<p>    * Clarify your needs, intentions and desires to bring in a loving partner.<br />
    * Make the fastest progress towards manifesting your ideal mate by making one specific vibrational shift<br />
    * Release past emotional trauma and blockages so you are fully available to your Soulmate<br />
    * Master a single easy technique that will give you emotional wholeness and physical relief that leads to presenting the real you<br />
    * And many, many more insights and transformational keys</p>
<p>The good news is: Love IS Absolutely Possible. By engaging in a proven, effective process of inner transformation, you can ensure you attract the right partner and create the relationship of your dreams.</p>

Please read â€œConvening of a Fifth World Conference on Womenâ€ now on ECOSOC-CSW55 letterhead, available in the six languages of the UN: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian &amp; Spanish. It is the UN edited version of the Written Statement that I submitted on behalf of Pathways to Peace, Womenâ€™s Intercultural Network and Womenâ€™s World Summit Foundation, non-governmental organizations in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council. (NGO #10) <a href="http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/csw/csw55/documentation.htm">http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/csw/csw55/documentation.htm</a></p>
<p>This document asks the UN Commission on the Status of Women to support the statement to convene a UN 5th World Conference on Women and advance it to ECOSOC and the General Assembly. Iâ€™m asking you to circulate this email because it prepares the ground, asks recipients to register their organization as supporters:<a href=" http://www.5wwc.org/organizations/index.html"> http://www.5wwc.org/organizations/index.html</a> and asks individuals to sign the petition: <a href="http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/support-a-un-5th-world-conference-on-women.html">http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/support-a-un-5th-world-conference-on-women.html<br />

I hope that you do what you can to helpâ€”once you read the reasoning and can whole-heartedly support the premise and vision. With Michelle Bachelet, former President of Chile heading UN Womenâ€”the new super agency for women, the confluence and synergy of her leadership, UN Women and 5WCW holds great promise, not as an end in itself, but as a huge step toward a global womenâ€™s peace, justice and empowerment movement.</p>
