I give up the fight on feminism and working for women to reach a higher place.
Hereafter, I’ll behave as if I’m already there.
And I urge all my sisters to do the same.
You are where you want to be. There is no gap in real life. It exists only in your mind.
I spoke to a few of my sisters.
Sara is clear about her financial goals. A bigger house before the age of 45, money for sending her only daughter to a professional course and a comfortable retirement fund. She earns a decent amount, though slightly less than what her husband earns. She lets her husband take all financial decisions.
“Do you lack the knowledge to invest?”
“Not really. I read up a lot on the subject, and participate in social media group discussions.”
“Then, what stops you from taking your financial decisions?”
“There is a…

Sushi and Me …. by Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

In response to Reena’s Exploration Challenge April 29 by rugby843
Upon the plate lay many things
my eyes could not perceive
Round and raw is what I saw
Beside the plate lay two long sticks lovely wooden pieces for my hair
To cool my neck I twisted up
My long curly hair upon
the top of my head and slid
the sticks deftly into my locks
Then a gasp arose within the place
a scream from the kitchen ensued
Patrons stood to see the ruckus there
Sadly I can not say how dinner
was that day as I was promptly
asked to leave the establishment
Fear not though as all is well the sticks I did retrieve and use them daily in my long gray hair
नई उम्मीद नए हौंसलों ने दस्तक दी है
आज फ़िर नए एक साल ने दस्तक दी है
कहती है मुझसे कदम मिला कर चल
समय की नई एक चाल ने दस्तक दी है
रोकते हैं मुझे पुरज़ोश तमाम ग़म पुराने
पुराने फ़िर एक मलाल ने दस्तक दी है
क्या है अनखुले दरवाज़े की दूसरी तरफ
हिम्मत कर एक सवाल ने दस्तक दी है
नहीं तोड़ेंगें इस बार तेरा ऐतबार “अमित”
फ़िर उम्मीद-ए-विसाल ने दस्तक दी है

Assortment of Colors …. by Jim Adams
In the Cream song ‘Swlabr’ aka She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow, a girl spends her days with this man, but returns to her husband at night. Eventually the husband kicks his cheating wife to the curb, so she runs crying to the other guy and asks him to take care of her, because she doesn’t want to be on her own. She realizes that she left some pictures behind when she moved out, so she goes back to where her husband is to get them. Her husband gives her all the pictures that she requested, but he has drawn moustaches on a lot of them to make her look like Hitler. Some of her photographs were decorated with beards, devil horns/tail, blacked-out teeth, spiky hair and one even had an arrow going through her head.
Her new partner was much more mature, and he was able to accept that…
