Women Re-shaping the World!

The more I clean the more messy it  becomes. I am here trying to get my room sorted, I will soon have to put away the winter clothes and seeing that I only have about 3 months left here in Taiwan I decided to just start sorting my room now

Agree to disagree We don’t all look alike even identical twins are not mirror reflections of each other. We are born into different economic conditions, have different colour eyes, different goals in life, different life philosophies… It should not amaze us then that we don’t always see eye to eye.

Hate the action not the person... For many of us actions take on a different meaning in relation to who carries them out.  We find many reasons to justify these actions, that is not a fault in the truest sense after all murder before one judge becomes self-defence in the eyes of another. How then do we decide upon an action or our response to an action? That’s just it we need to in most

When are we going to stop talking about pre-marital sex as though it’s the worse sin ever? Most of us have engaged in pre-marital sex, most of us are the products of pre-marital sex and so are our children. Yet, we live in a society where young people are always counselled about pre-marital sex by persons who would never say, “I have engaged in pre-marital sex and that is why I am qualified to

Violent Political discourse eventually leads to violence "Words — so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become, in the hands of one who knows how to combine them!"

It takes a strong woman to remain true to herself and true to womanhood even when involved in politics.  The traditional roles of women are not extinct nor are they to be pushed aside.  We are simply at a point in history where we can choose to go beyond those roles.  Our voice is becoming stronger and so for many of us the problem now is how to balance it all

Lights, Camera, Action!! Wait! Are you wearing the right costume? We are “profiled” by everyone whether they want to term it as that or not and whether we want to accept it or not; quite frankly it is human nature.
