It all came about one day when some guy passed me and said under his breath 'who do you think you are' (there was nobody else around). I wondered to myself "gee, what did I do to deserve that". Is it my looks? Is it because I wasn't smiling at him? You can't win either way it seems. Both men and women have so many issues in our world. It is sad, really. Janet Kathy,

Just a woman with self-esteem trying to make my way in the world. I try to walk a fine line being lady-like and friendly, but sometimes I have to be assertive and it may be perceived as bitchy. This is unfortunate. But, the alternative is unacceptable. People would take advantage of me left and right. I might even be dead if I did not assert myself or look out for myself. If I DID NOT look out for myself, who would look out for ME??? .....(I am listening and don't hear anybody volunteering)... Janet Yeah, who does ‘she think she is’.

Tiffany Shlain is one of the experts and I had the privilege of meeting her last year at the Idea Festival. www.ideafestival.com - Her films are amazing. I even bought the Barbie doll one. I wish I had bought more. I'm hoping to attend the IF this September and see what Tiffany is doing this year. Maybe she'll share a preview of the film. :) Kath – thanks for the link to the new film.

Anyway, the Bible says we are to be a peculiar people - I got that part down pat!!! I know who I am, I am me, and I am quite comfortable with that (most of the time). I reckon the woman of the Emergent/Missional movement are amazing and have so much to add to the conversation, love what are they posting. Sorry, not only 'adding' to the conversation but intiating much of the conversation. Sarah, Heather, Grace, Kathy, Et Al - I love to sit at your feet and learn.

It's essential that we get these issues right - speak up and be advocates for each other. Without the incredible amount of gender based injustices in the world we absolutely cannot have the church reinforcing the message that somehow woman is less than, or her voice doesn't matter quite as much or worse. For too many, it's a matter of life and death. Blessings to you! :-) Cool stuff, Kathy! It’s essential that we get these issues right – speak up and be advocates for each other.

Awesome post. I feel renewed. I had to link to you on my page. Re-post that poem there. I can only pray that I can fan the visual and the feelings propted by this post daily. As a single mom it is so hard to step out and risk when so much is riding on my back. 24-7. I don't just have baggage...I got CARGO. But I applied to nursing school last week and the fear of the unknown and the fear of the 'can i handle it' and tons of other thoughts keep me pretty terrifired for the most part. Thanks for the hug and the shot of reality that I am PERFECT just the way I was created to be. I love it when you write stuff like this...keep it up!! HUGS! Kathy. Damn I love you!! Awesome post.
