Looking Inside and Outside

It is the season of summer in Minnesota. Though the summer solstice marking the beginning of summer is 10 days away, the heat and humidity are high in our land.  The days are long with sun and everything is growing.  Here are some images around Winona in these beautiful days.

 Peonies are blooming and oh so fragrant.

 Fox live at the edge of the city


 Mississippi River is part of my favorite walking trail

 End of the day--thanks for all the beauty on the Earth.

Women’s March 2017 USA and Around the World



















The Women’s Marches around the USA and the world were an amazing act of bravery, celebration, and “wake up, we’re here and we will be heard.”  The energy at the marches was uplifting and powerful, as shared with me by a friend who attend the St. Paul, Minnesota March.


Here are some pictures that share hopefulness, in a time when the US president and administration are not supporting women, children, Muslims, LGBT people, the environment or the Arts.


One group of women, who were in the hospital, found a way to be part of the unity.

Black women came and were angry at white women.  Wow, I’ve got work to do on connecting with black people.  The word Intersection felt good to me.  Peoples coming together, no matter their color, their sex, their religion and working together.



 



On the Minnesota March

Minnesota are you ready for this!? It’s our great pleasure to announce two more inspiring women and community leaders that will be speaking at the march on January 21st.
