Domestic Violence: It's Closer Than You Think
April Sweazy, January 9, 2012
Somewhere right this minute a 5 year old is hiding under their bed with their ears covered, humming quietly to drown out the sound of their parents screaming at each other down the hall.
Somewhere right this minute a 10 year old is sitting alone in a dark treehouse, hoping to hide from the anger of a drunken parent who always turns their anger on the only person in the house small enough to not be able to fight back.

Authenticity, Awareness, and Love: Color Me Pink!
Laurie Erdman, July 26, 2010
I have a confession. When I first came across Owning Pink last spring, I was turned off. Not by the content, but by the color. I’m a tom boy. Not a girly girl.

Power On, Carnal Spiritualistas

I believe in the middle way for balance in all things. I believe in embracing the paradoxes life is constructed of. This is not an egghead course, or a Fix-it program, but rather an exercise to see if we can become more awakened to our unconscious emotions through awareness and behavior choices, towards using our spirituality pragmatically. Daily.

Owning It ALL (The Good & the Bad): Thoughts on Gratitude
Joy Mazzola, November 14, 2009
I’m not much into the practice of gratitude. I don’t keep a gratitude journal as Oprah prescribed all those years ago, nor am currently I participating in that Facebook thinggie where you post something for which you’re grateful each day from now until Thanksgiving. I mean, I think they’re beautiful ideas, as they help to promote a state of thankfulness in more people who may not otherwise see the blessings in their lives. Really, I’m all for such things. I’ve just never felt particularly drawn to do them.
