Women Birth the world!!!
There are only two developed countries that don't have paid maternity leave...Australia is sadly one of them. This should not be a luxury that women need to beg for or simply not have available to them...... linkwww.unisa.edu.au/news/2008/290508.asp This shocking situation leaves us lagging behind Tanzania, Iran, Burma and Djibouti. linkshahrzaad.wordpress.com/2008/08/09/ iranian-women-in-olympics/ "Paid parental leave is not just about valuing the well-being and development of children; there is also an economic benefit in retaining people in the workforce and safeguarding the nation's future prosperity. It is time Australia caught up!! Well this is the chance we have long been waiting for - the Productivity Commission is finally looking into the issue. Click on the link below to sign the petition" on this imperative issue.... link www.getup.org.au/campaign/AllTheOtherKidsAreDoingIt?id=381 "It simply calls for a minimum of six months paid parental leave.. We'll deliver it direct to the Commission and the Government: We need long term commitments for women futures," given they do birth the world and bring our children up!!! Almost every other nation on earth can see the necessity even the very poorest - then surely it's time for Australia to start looking after women/the next generation and how they are valued in the world Vita "Australia currently leaves it up to the individual employer to decide - and those in the retail and service industries have almost no access to paid parental leave. That's why a joint statement was signed yesterday by more than a dozen prominent Australian organisations advocating a minimum of six months paid parental leave. Join us in the push for paid parental leave by signing the petition above.... Our lives change and things only happen in society if we can demonstrate enough of us demand the government get with the times. One can help make this change by signing the petition today." The Getup chaps Don't ask what a woman has genuinely done for one ask what one has genuinely done for a woman in the world!! Vita Thursday, Aug 21 2008
One of my favorite magical and very dear Goddess
friends has taken a higher step on the mountain of VITA/life. She is a true ?vessel of compassion..? A lioness who is full of great wit and wisdom.. She has celebrated yet another triumphant year ? We here at Vita may well present it to government as a must have public holiday...Bless you my dear and all who reign with you? May you remain supreme and continue on ones path of bold beautiful bawdiness...(frank, humorous, and often very very naughty...and of course entirely divine?)!! Hidden Voices and intimate connections Establishing closeness in ones world/working relationship requires effort and genuine connection?It just does not bode well to simply agree to keep the peace or avoid conflict?? Intimacy only develops when it is genuine and a goal into itself. One can only have an opportunity to deepen ones friendships and love when one engages FULLY?.. ONE will not be able to attain real connection if ones mind wanders and is on simply getting ahead AND creating false hope and fantasy for ones self. Be present in every moment be genuine in what one offers to the other. Just being with someone we enjoy love and respect without having an agenda is the best love and always enough?? COMMUNITY VOICE VIA RADIO 3RRR RADIOTHON 2008 ?Roll up, roll up for the Triple R annual radiothon on August 22nd 2008.

Sometimes, ONE may FEEL entrapped or captivated by
someone or indeed a situation that leaves one with fear and faulty judgment?That in reality ONE may well have created this situation ones self? We must not deny what ONE really wants or who ONE really IS ?Yet consider and incorporate the needs and wants of the other?Try empathy not fear? Love is NOW ?So modern so now so necessary?? Always be willing to expand ones existing dreams and desires, we must ALSO be appreciative of what we truly already have and honor those gifts that are current... One must be transparent with ones love and life? Then one can make informed decisions simply make time to show ones true feelings to the other. Then one is truly free to love fully and without fear?Expressing and living by what we truly needs is so much more thrilling and deeply satisfying. Suppressing not expressing our truest needs and desires will always cause internal conflict and unfulfilled LIFE'S/VITA!! We can all benefit through seeking comfort and shared understanding from one we feel able to express ones REAL thoughts and feelings with. So now, so right so real.. So?Picturesque? so Statuesque so......Vitaesque linkktna.org/topics.php?aid=687 For Ger who died on the mountain last week Vita Tuesday, Aug 12 2008

We must apply our creative powers and allow the Tibetan
truth to be told. We must trust our integrity and speak our golden truth Trust our intuition use our will power to consciously override self-doubt or fear to speak out for what is right for ourselves and the other... Ultimately it is universal LAW a fundamental right, for us all to have our voices heard and listened too..It is imperative that we act on our love make something happen that is golden and transparent. Vita Getup and speak up "GetUp's TV ad has hit the headlines as Kevin Rudd arrives at the Beijing Olympics, urging him to speak out on the issues in Tibet. The ad, made with the Australia Tibet Council, is going to air either side of the Opening Ceremony, click here to watch it: We sent the PM a copy of the ad, and he has pledged to raise human rights issues in Beijing. We know this sort of diplomacy works - Last week the PM condemned the media censorship around the Olympics and the Chinese Government eased their control on media coverage of the games. There is stil one hurdle left to clear the Seven Network, in response to the media interest our ad has generated is now denying the fact that we've booked the ad space. Unfortunately for them we have on our desks a confirmed booking sheet suggesting otherwise! Whether or not Channel 7 decide to uphold the values of free speech, one can watch the ad for oneself here: Most interesting NEWS here at VITA TODAY!! For what ever reason we at VITA are unable to link to this campaign by Getup.... So go to my quick links and click on the GETUP SITE and then click on their campaign OlympicSilenceIsNotGolden& It's vital that after the Olympics the world does not 'switch off' on Tibet - that's why we're planning more ads for the closing ceremony and beyond. Stay tuned for opportunities to help get the message out soon.' The getup team Friday, Aug 01 2008
We must always be vigilant if not honorable to our
conviction and passions to ensure that our lives have true meaning and genuine substance ? Every action needs a narrative. We must always consider the commitments, we have made to the other and ourselves. We must reflect on what we value and with whom we share those convictions and passions. Never let ones self disappear or stray from what one came to change love and offer the world ?? Melbourne International Film Festival WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BRENDA HEAN?
