I like writing about the good people I meet, because sometimes I think we forget that there are still genuinely good people among us.

I was taking in a taxi yesterday when the driver pulled aside to buy a drink from a street vendor...without missing a beat he turns to me big grin on his face and asks- "Yuh want something or wha?".  I returned the smile, but did not accept the drink.  My belly was full already!

Had to share this...

 I am always amazed by the fact that so many people believe that no matter the condition of the relationship they are in it is a 'blessing' from God, that this man/woman who wipes the floor with them was chosen for them by God.

We are so often afraid to be happy, or think we do not deserve be happy that we find the most ridiculous explanations to stay in relationships that leave us unfulfilled, and hurt.

You don't have to stay in abusive relationships

Polyandry: The Rarest Form of Marriage

Polyandry in Tibet

Polyandry is a rare form of marriage where one wife may take two or more husbands. The Tibetan, Toda, Sherpa, and Marquesan are the only four societies worldwide that practice polyandry today [hmm, really?]. There are two types of polyandrous unions: fraternal and non-fraternal. Fraternal polyandry occurs when multiple brothers share a common wife, and non-fraternal polyandry occurs when co-husbands are unrelated to one another. So why did polyandry become the age-old tradition instead of monogamy or polygyny? In order to address this question, we shall turn to the Tibetan case of fraternal polyandry and explore its kinship practices, economic concerns, and presence in serf society.
