There's Women against Palin?

There is a blog dedicated to women who are against Palin being the vice president. They are requesting women to sign a petition to, what? overthrow her if she and Senator McCain are elected? I am not sure what their plan is.

What amazes me is the blog is littered with the history of women and how we have struggled through to time to earn the right to vote, to earn equal pay, equality in the workplace, this list goes on and on. They do not want a woman vice president. Why? I am not completely sure. She is not pro-life, is a major issue but other than that I did not come across anything but that she is VAPID.
Well most of Washington, DC is vapid, so that is a given.

But to not embrace the very thing women have been fighting for, for years, the breaking of the glass ceiling, I do not understand. Granted she does not support all of your issues, but she is a sister, mother, daughter who has finally been put in the hot seat and may actually make the move into the forbidden area.

Sure there may be other women qualified to do the job, but she has been selected, and women should rally to support her, not a party, not a position, but her as a woman because we all damn well know she is going to need it. We should be working to get her in office if we ever want to see a woman President in our lifetime.

I am NOT a millionaire.

Once again I managed to lose out on, this time, $43 million dollars. I don't understand how I can't pick the correct numbers to hit this jackpot. People do it everyday. Some people win it more than once. I had 5 entries totaling 30 numbers and only selected 2 correct numbers.

Sometimes I feel destined to remain in the place I am in. I am comfortable, but there is always something inside saying there is more. I am more, I should be doing something else, there is something greater. So daily I am in a constant battle within myself to achieve some greatness. Then I have to ask myself is greatness achieving some type of fame?

My passion has been writing. I have written since a young girl. It has been my friend, therapist and sounding board. I have run to my journals for solace and in joy. My life has been chronicled. I have pages and pages of words that flow like music to me. It is in there I feel is my greatness and I feel each of us have a greatness to give this world. I continue to strive to achieve it.

So why can't I win a jackpot of $43 million dollars? Wouldn't that make my life so much more simple. The complications of daily life would fall away with the right amount of money to solve the issues that arise. Unfortunately no amount of money will put the right words together to form a book or a collection of poetry. It's back to the keyboard and long nights.
