MY Dream Team!

In the spirit of the weekend, thought I'd share again, my Dream Team.

Dream Team for what you ask?

Ideas, inspiration, energy, and exhilarating potential.

Especially the top two. 

I've never had the honor of meeting any of them.  Yet?

Here's hoping.

I'm sure there are others that I will think of that I'd like to add.

For whatever reason, I kept it to around 20.

To have all of them in one room for a few hours, would make for one brilliant, fascinating, extraordinary day to be sure!

Especially if I was to add my personal Dream Team (ones that I know) to the group!

Who's on yours?

In A World... Not So Far Away...

...actually, right here on Earth.

     For those of you reading, who live on Earth, the following may be of interest.  

The Message...

I post this every year around this time, due to it's timing in the movie, Chocolat.

Wishing all peace and hope.

Again, What Is It Going To Take?

     This topic, GUNS; this is I think, the fourth or fifth time, I've posted this, or another similar,  hoping against hope, after yet another tragedy, for 21st Century updated gun rules, laws, and regulations.

     I have never wanted to infringe on somebody's right to own a gun, to keep at home for safety.  I question the rationale, but I also question the rationale of owning a fast car or a super large house, when you have to work most of the 24/7 to pay for each.  Having a gun for personal safety, without training and regular practice... most of us are not Angelina and Brad in Mr. & Mrs. Smith; nor are we Denzel in The Equalizer.  But, if you want a gun at home, fine.  Handgun, fine; hunting rifle or shotgun; fine.  Is it too much to ask for one to have a license, and required renewal's every year, complete with physical, mental, eye exam, etc.  As well as one for all who have access to it?  To drive a car, you must go through getting a license, have money to purchase a car as well as insurance; and a car's raison d' etre (reason for existence) is transportation.  Why is it such a bother to ask for sense for an instrument is made for killing?  Killing still is illegal, isn't it?

     As writer/comedian Sara Benincasa wrote in "Dear America: Here's Your Gun Solution-

No, I Don't Think All Men Are Bastards.

Wasn't sure what to call this.  

I have several posts that I'm working on in addition to the book and all else. 

But just wanted to get a few thoughts out there.

In response to the "MeToo" movement: #MeToo. 

In stating that, all I've done, is shared that, like most women, and even some men; I have experienced sexual harassment.  More than once.  And there are past moments that I, how should I describe?  Struggled with.   Time when I'd had no alcohol and setting seemed safe.  Then what happened was not something I planned, nor wanted.  No bruises, no scars.  Just the ones, nobody knows except me.  That I alone, worked to heal.

WHEN, Will Women Be Valued?

     This is a repost of a repost.  Sorta.  

I'm working on a post entitled The Long One...  
It will cover my thoughts on the topics as of late: All the hullabaloo of DC; the outing of... well, men behaving badly...
