BELIEVE IN HER BEAUTY HE'S VENUS AS A BOY



According to Isabel Allende, "old guys are hopeless, we have to wait for them to die off." Allende is an American novelist from Chile. Some of you may recognize her work from her novel turned into movie, The House of Spirits, directed by Bille August. In this talk, Allende speaks of PASSION, and how as a civilization, we should be passionate about acknowledging the truth concerning the current structures of our societies. The author recounts her 4 minutes of fame when in 2006, she carried the Olympic flag at the Olympics, a first for women if you can believe it. She is quite the funny and poignant story teller. She challenges all of us to "ask questions, bend the rules, and take risks."


She puts forth many astonishing details. The following top three imprint the mind. PAY ATTENTION AND PAY ATTENTION CLOSELY: 1) 80% of all refugees that are displaced are women and children. 2) Women shoulder 2/3 of world labor, yet they own less than 1% of the world assets. 3) The most poverty stricken and the most outdated societies are those that keep women down. The question is this, are you at all shocked after reading the lowdown on this 411?
This is dedicated to all the beautiful women in my life, and to all the men who love them. Let's evolve to exalt the feminine vitality as we know it in all of us, imperatively applicable to both men and women, OF COURSE....
