On one hand, we
have so few leaders who have strong convictions, who look stunning and
unforgettable, who are women in power.... On the other hand, she did so many
things that hurt her country, her citizens, Argentina, and ultimately,
indirectly, America.... It is not nice to speak ill of those recently deceased,
because their loved ones and many strangers grieve for them, and because we know we
will soon be next. Yet some leaders, consciously, whether misguided or not,
made wrong decisions, stubbornly pursued them, and never even reconsidered their
destructive actions.....Should we pretend they were good leaders, when they
were not? Should we publicly mouth polite words of condolence, and privately
celebrate revenge? Do we give tributes to an iconic star (not Meryl Streep), whose photographic
image was strangely comforting, but whose policies negatively affected
millions?..... However, we can mourn the loss of a very flawed human being,
perhaps a little like ourselves.

My blog is for vulnerable communication from my heart, mind, and spirit, meant to touch readers who are passionate about creativity, art, life, and cultures.... Nastiness and personal attack are expressions of bitterness, not meaningful communication. The internet drowns in negativity, but not this site....Thoughtful criticism, however, is not negative, but an affirmation of ideals, hopes, and caring. Positive comments are more useful if they are not meant for my ego, but to share compassion and love....Thanks for reading, feeling, and sharing.
I want to help others to understand themselves better and have more hope to continue their positive struggles to reach their potentials and feel fully alive. I want to create and absorb all the Arts. I want to touch and be touched, to be understood and accepted and appreciated for who I really am, to be a sensitive wise human being with a warm and caring heart. I'm part way there.
