Last weekend, the Pink Posse of Dallas celebrated going green with a clothing swap. We were pretty stoked about the idea of helping the planet but we were even more thrilled about getting new clothes for little to no cost.

I hope you all will enjoy our Saturday Posse Party posts! First up is Donna Asbury of California who continually provides inspiration with our Pink Community to live in a constant state of growth and expansion. For as long as I have corresponded with her she has always put her best foot forward. After reading the following blog post, I was immediately called into action. Thank you Donna for sharing this part of yourself so elegantly! -- Megan Monique

I started to write this post sitting at home in Oakland, CA on Thursday evening, July 8, helicopters overhead and sirens in the streets as our city reacted to the verdict of the Oscar Grant-Johannes Mehserle trial. The ruling of Involuntary Manslaughter in this case (of a white police officer fatally shooting a young black male -- who was unarmed, cuffed, and already on the ground) is largely viewed as unjust. The community has been bracing itself for this verdict for weeks. I, for one, am left speechless. Which is usually a good time for me to start writing.
So, here goes.

And so it is to be entering the blogosphere for the first time here in the Owning Pink community. This reminds me of two shamanic experiences: one personal, one archetypical.

I sit here thinking about writing for Owning Pink and how the stories posted here are usually written by, for and about women.
But it is not only women who lose their MOJO.
If I am going to write for Owning Pink, it’d be good to share how my world was recently unraveled and what Owning Pink really means to me.
My story begins with being unexpectedly divorced and being absolutely crushed by becoming a single daddy.

One year ago, I had no clue how to use social media. Sure, I had 100 friends on Facebook and had vaguely heard of Twitter, but it all sounded like a total time sink. Boy, was I wrong.
What I didn't know then was that social media would not only help me get my mojo back, it would land me a publishing deal that found four houses fighting over my book, in addition to introducing me to my tribe, the people who get me and are committed to helping me achieve my dreams.

Beloved Pinkies –
Today is Owning Pink’s first birthday. In some ways if feels like a few days ago that all this began, and in other ways it feels like a lifetime. We (Lissa and the Owning Pink team) have transformed in SO many ways, and have learned more about ourselves and the world than we ever imagined. We learned the meaning – and the power – of love, and how brightly each of us can shine given the space and support to be who we really are.

It breaks my heart that Sex and The City ended. For nearly a decade, I could pretend that women really do gather together over Cosmos, talking about sex, career, relationships, and the meaning of life according to Carrie Bradshaw, all while decked out in Manolo Blahniks and sporting styling haircuts, both cranial and pubic.
