While I spen...This is a very moving post, Rosaria.<br /><br />While I spend quite a bit of my limited energy on ethical issues in health care, I find my "field of view" is expanding. Increasingly, I find myself drawn to issues of poverty and homelessness, not in our (lower-middle class) neighbourhood, but in the ones next to us, which are historically areas of poverty and related problems. <br /><br />If people don't have food in their stomachs, clothes on their backs, and safe roofs over their heads, they don't have the basic building-blocks for developing their lives. <br /><br />Our local food bank provides an interesting example. In these challenging times, people who used to bring food are now lining up to get food. A sobering reminder about how quickly life can change, and our need for heart-level community and solidarity.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-63650721332162989022009-05-22T18:33:51.899-07:002009-05-22T18:33:51.899-07:00What a beautiful circle I've just witnessed here. ...What a beautiful circle I've just witnessed here.

Thank you so much and of course thanks to Paul too who has nominated me! <br /><br />I'm honoured twice, since both you and Paul are people of great worth, radiating intelligence and good nature.<br /><br />I'm only asking myself, what am I doing for those in real need, for the shamed? In any case, if even just one person benefited from my posts, it would be a great thing.<br /><br />I’ll try to transfer the award image to my blog right column. Hard. My blog theme is stripped down, no graphic features at all. And it'd be the first time I show an award (I received a couple.)<br /><br />Ciao e grazie ancora.<br /><br />MoRMan of Romahttp://manofroma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-69513238335654531112009-05-22T07:13:09.105-07:002009-05-22T07:13:09.105-07:00Hello darling, any decision yet.

I have always enjoyed coming here to listen to your shared wisdom. <br /><br />Now the light on the dark side. About 6 weeks ago, an 8 year old girl, Victoria (Tori) Stafford, was walked out of her school by a then unknown female. This was caught on a video surveillance camera. Victoria lived with her parents (whom the police initially suspected)in Woodstock, a community located about 57kM (35 miles) away from where I live. This morning, as I was getting ready for work, I heard that there were two arrests in the case. I tried to follow the story at work with what little information that was available. By mid-afternoon, the report said that they arrested one male, 28 years old and one female, 18 years old in relation to the case. The police eventually confirmed that they were now looking for little Victoria's body with the "help" of the female involved. Tori was abducted for the sole purpose of being some freaks sex toy.<br /><br />I'm feeling a little sick right now. Not impressed with the dark side of our world.Bogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621010857974456199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-27543094037335792092009-05-20T13:55:26.065-07:002009-05-20T13:55:26.065-07:00Just found you via Sniffles and Smiles and glad I ...Just found you via Sniffles and Smiles and glad I did!<br /><br />JaneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813508472498593787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-69556990259647528242009-05-20T13:49:43.109-07:002009-05-20T13:49:43.109-07:00As an educator I am sure you appreciate the challe...As an educator I am sure you appreciate the challenges, the misunderstanding and the suppression experienced by those labeled learning disabled, dyslexic, ADD and ADHD. With fuller understanding of learning styles, temperament, motivation, language and reading development we will indeed look to, "Visioning a better future."
