Mother-ing

As a mother, I have to say my piece...

Ask yourself...would you be okay if he was saying those things about your daughter? would you vote for him if he was referring to your sister?

Would you be proud to call him son?

If your argument is that He is pro-life,,,refer to his opinion of life as a whole.

If your argument is that he is what our country needs...check his record. How do you think he got to where he is and what part he has played in the economy.

I don't research these things because you can support either side if you are willing to buy the article.

I follow my heart, I listen to my gut and I will make the best choice for all of my children.

I will not raise my sons to be men who think that their penis or the color of their skin entitles them to say or do whatever they want or if they can convince a woman to take the blame they they are innocent.

I will not raise my daughters to think they should have to work harder to prove themselves. I will raise them to know they are strong, smart and just as capable as a man.

I am angry...at many things in my current situation. Many people have advised me to be quiet.

No.

I will write because I have a voice. Even if all I do is regurgitate what other women have said more eloquently...if it is something that resonates with my heart and soul for any of my four children...I will.

What I am telling my children now is to do the best that you can today...because who the hell knows what will happen tomorrow.  Love others as Christ does, share a message of love with your actions.

Today this is my action.
