Palmer's Purview: Update

Update

Hi all! Well, last week's sinus surgery went well and I've been recuperating. Hopefully, no more chronic sinusitus! I'm looking forward to being much healthier from now on, and am so blessed to have such wonderful doctors. So, it's back to work on Monday. I'd like to wish all of you a Happy Easter, Happy Passover and Happy Spring Equinox. Please enjoy the beauty of new life growing all around us and share your joy in living with all whom you meet. Take care and bless you all!

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting! I appreciate the time you're taking to look around and read, and truly welcome all respectful comments.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works."

Know your rights. Never take things at face-value; do your research.

Our Place on this Earth

One in Three Women and Girls

Are you, or do you know, the 1 in 3?

That's the ratio of women and girls who will be raped or experience violence or sexual abuse during their lifetime. Women's rights are also human rights. I'm calling on everyone to please go to the UN site http://saynotoviolence.org/ and add your voice to the global action to Stop Violence Against Women.

The United Nations website on Violence Against Women (VAW), under the auspices of UNIFEM has more information:

Quotes

"Life can be difficult, yet when you meet resistance with resilience, you turn challenge into opportunity." - Patrice Palmer

"The view in the rear-view mirror can cause a driver to get in a wreck. Keep your eyes on the road ahead to see the curves and forks that challenge your drive through life. Your timing on the brakes and accelerator determines your finesse in negotiating those challenges, and is improved by your knowledge, experience, confidence, and integrity. The challenges encourage growth, creation, and finesse in driving your life." – Patrice Palmer

"Words witness, honor, and preserve the lives of those who have touched our lives in some way. They also have the immense power to bind us together, creating community and a positive future where none had existed before." – Patrice Palmer
