The Courage of a Lioness act with joy speak to truth with love

FREE SPEECH  LOVING THE WHOLE  AND “THE LAND OF THE FREE ?”

“Sometimes it happens that we travel for a long time without knowing that we have made the long journey solely to pronounce a certain word, a certain phrase, in a certain place. The meeting of the place and the word is a rare accomplishment.”
 
 
RESPONSE NOT REACTION  TRUE LOVE NOT TEMPORARY PLEASURE 
 
This article is a very serious work in progress..Those who write and READ the New Yorker may well know what this means! This is big picture stuff. It is CERTAINLY NOT A SIMPLE folly. NOR an idle distraction, nor a passing fancy, or a social media slight to those we  may not see eye to eye with. 
 
NOR is it an ‘influence-r” having their “15 minutes of.. “. So keep that in mind and come back to this article as one would a good book!  It is dynamic and updated regularly ‘..
 
I would also like make  VERY CLEAR to readers, “DAY job’ is man made language and that, one with commitment ideas and inspiration have many  strings to their BOW!!  One may say it is ‘flat out” 24/7….Seriously however those that GET IT know what I mean .. 
 
Mmm, and a plethora of many projects. that are ‘currently  in development ..Stay aware of days  to come loved ones it is hard work tenacity and worth the journey ..We who live in the 3rd Decade of the Women’s Century are NOT one task one hit wonders..
 
Our skill sets are ALWAYS EVOLVING! We just don’t need to tell the world the outcomes before the process has been worked through ..Ask our dearest, AE about that . AE he will take you through is very animated, articulate,  funny, humble kind, mindful, chap!  He has supplied much material  on his processes .. AE’s  process is always a journey and delivered in right timing .. Brilliant process too. A very 21st Century man a true auteur ..Goddess love ya work AE..
 
CLASS ACTIONS AND REAL PEOPLE 
 
Microsoft could have a meeting about good process and staff numbers..They are, on 2nd warning with we at VITA/ME !! A class action may well BE pending for Mr Gates..More on that another time.. AI is NOT a real person that actually resolves issues .. Real staff matter..
 
Interestingly the word  “dynamic: has been embraced as IT, social media speak ” This dialogue  at my column  VITA will  always keeps evolving and indeed  BE dynamic and VITAL, content  that will resonate for many life times to come ..!!
 
21st CENTURY MEN  COLLABORATIVE BEHAVIOR 
 
My column is an Opportunity to share and engage in the written word and the courage and power to contribute and change the world, to make it a BETTER PLACE to PLAY AND WORK…’
 
CREATIVE EVOLVED GENEROUS KIND MEN
 
Yes that is UNION SQUARE, and Monet’s house, below that image. Mmm all  taken by me in the 2nd decade of the ‘Women’s Century. YES and locally grown fruit in the lucky country in Spring time down-under, SEVERAL MONTHS after  Barack said ‘YES WE CAN” to the USA & THE WORLD! 
 
THINK ABOUT “being born in the USA” , and what that can mean for the WHOLE WORLD, right about NOW .. Good on ya Bruce your a 21st Century man like Barack!  Go the distance speak to love and sing ones songs out loud ..
OCEAN VUONG A GREAT MAN OUR BEST LAID PLAN TODAY 
 
MMM THIS COULD WELL BE a good PLAN!!  ONE,  may well CONSIDER  the Vietnamese born,  American citizen and writer OCEAN VUONG as the next President of the USA.  LOVE THAT WHEN    USA VOTERS  CHOOSE TO MAKE THAT  HAPPEN…  OCEAN truly is a Global Citizen who migrated to the USA as a child fleeing from a war, created by the USA..
 
Just saying, food for thought! As an aside I have added his name and Leonardo, to the WordPress Dictionary.. No leading ya by the nose here .. One may appreciate to Read  OCEAN’ S, books OR listen to Ocean speak..  He is on several well respected podcasts out there in Podcast land . Mmm try the Australian ABC Book show, very compelling and made me weep given his insights o a courageous life he has led..
 
It is a must do. Oprah does,  she knows how to “Turn every page’ that is a quote from Robert Caro’s first editor way back in the 20th Century..  
 
 
This is a Column/site for those who understand CARING CONTEXT AND BEING exceptionally GRACIOUS.and truly respectful.. MY COLUMN  is for those who respond with JOY AND SELF LOVE. for those who respond NOT react. It is  in fact for those who are curious about the world outside themselves, and choose to make the world a better place to BE in ..
 
 
ENJOY THE JOURNEY ENJOY THE WORK 
 
ALL our work must NOT  BE ABOUT “working for the man”.  As my work on earth, is here  to be savored , and allowed to be savor.  An opportunity  to be an act of love, a vocation.
 
Ocean Vuong speaks to this core issue in his work.. Those who stay the distance will understand this impeccably.. Bless you AE,  you know what it is to be valued for your work ..You have gone the distance committed to your art not fame ..A triumph indeed.and the Academy love ya work as do we at Vita..
 
PREVIOUS TIMES AND SPEAKING TO TRUTH
 
As an EX political driven colleague (from a previous time  in the 80s  “prey tell” ),  asked me in September 2007, ‘Who do you work for now’, I told him my truth ” I HAVE ALWAYS worked with and for the next generation of course”…….
 
THE NEXT GENERATION AND WORKS IN PROGRESS
 
Sadly he was unaware of what that meant, and he sadly missed his moment in the SUN..MMm,  He has not,  become “AN ELDER STATESMAN” in his country of origin. yet. To give him the benefit of my doubt and  be kind he like us all, is a work in progress. 

GLOBAL VILLAGES AND THE SPICE OF LIFE

For those conflicted by the spice OF LIFE  image below, in this article  ‘heads up” MMmm one may consider that we are a Global Village and food is love made visible.. This image was taken at Grand Central Station in NEW York, by ME in the late part of then 2nd decade  of the Women’s Century..
 
Yes and below that is where Leonardo Da Vinci’ was laid to rest in France.  Very much another creative genius and prolific man.  It’s without doubt he to was full of, golden gracious acts, kind heart and insightful visions..
As an aside well placed Lion sculptures at the doors of the OBAMA LIBRARY WOULD BE RATHER FANCY LOVELY! IDEA ..  A little Baroque  a little bit NOW feel, . Mm I will keep US ALL in the loop  on that work in progress LOVED ONES
LITERACY SAVES LIVES LIFE AFFIRMING A MEANS TO TRUE AGENCY 
 
This site is ABSOLUTELY NOT a TikTok  moment either. (Look at the reality of who wants to “OWN” that cyber space loved ones?.  Tricky as the patriarchy entraps Social Media… I will say I have NO conscious bias for those offering a quick bite or laugh on TIKTOK )though .. 
 
HOMAGE TO THE NEW YORKER AND GOING THE FULL TONK 
 
The current article on MY COLUMN, here at ” VITA” is homage to The New Yorker approach and I have gone the full ‘tonk” on a feature article POSSIBLY A MINI SERIES!  So now, so old school ! MMm oh my, life before the MEME and the sound bite /bight. Oh lala ..MMM as we know THE NEW YORKER turned 100  born on February 21st 1925  in my previous life time.. 
 
PAYING ATTENTION PIT STOPS SOCIAL MEDIA BOOKS R US
 
BE AWARE OF ONES, social media ‘pit stops” and BE AWARE of ones terms of engagement when doing so..It matters a lot ! As  the lovely Barack, his wife Michelle, Julianne Moore,  Oprah 
Mary Rose, SJP  and I,  ALL KNOW the book has always reigned supreme and is a must do. 
 
Now so many options ..Paperback hard copy and Kindle. Mmm and bless the smell of ink on the page at ‘old media” One of my favorite’s is,  have Sam Neil read aloud to one,(on you tube prey tell in a pandemic.. MMmm very soothing  ) He  makes a fine wine and grows his own grapes to..All of that is  up there with having a man one loves sing to ONE,  out loud with love….  Mmm that genuinely  matters a lot  and super precious for me DSB  ..
It  all matters A LOT in fact.  So step lightly speak with graceful joyful  kindness.  Genuinely this  content and contribution, on MY website is a gift. It is offered with love, a part of MY journey. A moment to speak to truth and address, the messy madness of  patriarchal paradigms.
 
EDGE OF THE MOUNTAINS GAMES PATRIARCHY PLAY
 
The world is on the edge of the mountain loved ones. the patriarchal anger OUT there is NOT helpful nor portraying actual kindness or anything mirroring  TRUE leadership!  Patriarchal blame, control and manipulative  poor behavior is seriously unacceptable  and is being called out at a GLOBAL level BE AWARE BE VERY AWARE …
 
Mmm, consider re directing ones anger into the gentle art, of hearing listening and or read the book..  out aloud to ones self Very nice .. MMMmm Practice Practice and more best Practice, does not have to BE PERFECT but could be lovely for all involved … Mmm
GLOBAL COLLABORATION IN THE THIRD DECADE OF THE WOMEN’S CENTURY 
 
Patriarchy is in decline and collaboration equality and respect for the other, is on the ascension. The poor  actions,  bad behaviors and all round paradigm of misogyny,  are ALL in full VIEW NOW and we are so not taking prisoners.
 
DELIGHTFUL LYRICAL ENGAGEMENT COURAGE AND POSSIBILITIES 
 
Given one is living fully in the 3rd Decade of the Women’s Century you ‘ll GET what I mean ..If not come with us its full of delightful delicious,  possibilities well worth engaging in. MMMM if  you have courage and willingness to grow,  show up and share respectful dialogue  ETC.. Love the other as one would wish to be loved is a Mantra worth consideration …
 
Trust me collaboration love and respect are so now!  So a must do while spreading ones compost and living a true present. MMMm, staying alert and aware feeling, hearing , reading speaking and witnessing what the “Women’s Century is offering..
 
ACADEMY AWARDS  “AE “AND LIVING THE WOMEN’S CENTURY
 
Next year at the Academy Awards, those who choose to  live in public and walk Red Carpets will not be  asked ‘who are your wearing ‘ They will be asked have you spoken with love today, are you on the 21st century Women ‘Working Party. ? YEP WE ARE ON THE MOVE COME WITH US!
 
FACING THE SELF COURAGE TO EXAMINE AND KEY WORDS 
 
Yes and these questions  will be asked of MANY many men, including RD.Jnr and his pal David D. They are men that are up to, facing themselves after examining ‘failing in public”..  Yep and In their own words. they speak to their journey back to joyful times ..They are happy to BE facing themselves in the 3rd Decade of the Women’s Century..
 
Go forth and listen to David D’s podcast. Very good content . Yes that is a photo I took inside the Chelsea Hotel in New York in the ‘women’s century …Magical Place, Patti knows what that means 
ALWAYS CURIOUS  TO EXPLORE AND KEEN TO TRAVEL 
 
Given one is curious and keen to explore, David’s  podcast, it is in podcast land  on Apple it is a must hear and listen to. Key words good research are key to this part of the story lines and  idea.for this article as well as David’s. Quite likely Siri does not really KNOW those processes and certainly question, whether AI has any imagination or true insight at all,  so always maintain ones agency  figure it out ya self.
 
My column/ website,  “word press hyperlink” has gone on annual leave it seems. Hmm or maybe the hyperlink resigned?  So only one hyperlink today. Very heartfelt,  thanks  to JT,  for sorting that out  the first one on my behalf.. After thought Robert Caro will be pleased the semi colon  could well BE making a come back…
 
WOMEN’S CHOICE WOMEN’S ROLES 
 
ROLE OF CHOICE  MIFF AND THE LUCKY COUNTRY 2025
 
What role have you chosen to BE to show? Have you read these books or seen this film below ?  Sarah Jessica Parker, understands the value of women’s century literacy, SJP has deeply committed to the issue  in fact ..
 
I am sure SJP,  will approve of being asked and will indeed value  the questions on the Red carpet in 2026.. No doubt she will certainly  be coming with us  on that journey. Mmm in CONTEXT, see this film  below,  it is absolute imperative viewing now showing at (MIFF)  International Film  Festival  ‘August 25 in the so called  lucky country”? 
 
Google MIFF ya self I am not the social media maid ha-ha!  Profound, early adopter social media, feminist statement gag .. I’m very very lioness  as we enter Birthday Month! Grrrrrr, so do not cross the line or pull my tail ever ! 
Also interesting some search engines this week that will NOT be named,  skipped work and  went to the beach today for an hour it appears.. Naughty search engines Grrr.  Fab early adopter,  observation on the day and in the moment on what can happen when relying on search engines ! Oh the gift of the library…
 


PART 2  CHAPTER 8 OF THIS CECIL BE DE “‘VITA: AUGUST 2025 ARTICLE HAHA 
 
 THAT TITLE IS A CECILE B  MILLE REFERENCE FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR  WITH THE CONCEPTS OR HIS FILM WORK..
 
CREATE SPACE BREATH ENJOY LOVE ENGAGE FULLY 
 
 it could be said, patriarchy, has engaged and relied on going to war,  to create winners and losers. 
Again not helpful. As we have mentioned here before “it could be said  patriarchy   ‘goes to war and women birth the world’…
HELLO NO one is a winner in that dynamic ‘ If your up for it have a read of the books above and below…..Create space to breath, feel love see, think of ones own needs and send those feeling and thoughts out to all of humanity ..

WORDPRESS LINKS PREGNANT PAUSE  & WOMEN’S PREGNANCY JOURNEY 
 
Hmm, my word press link, has maybe gone to the bathroom? OH DEAR  for way too long, maybe  stuck in cyber transit dunno, so the New Yorker article  IMMEDIATELY above is currently not a hyper link ..  My people will attend to It  ‘in right timing.”.
 
The New Yorker article above,  lays  bare the sad state of affairs of a woman’s  personal agency, being denied,  during pregnancy . It  puts that aspect of it in perspective.. Check the article out if you’re feeling courageous and love a woman fully… ‘Heads up” one needs BE interested and have desire to understand a woman’s journey during pregnancy and what that entails  .. 
Make that a true intention,  when life gets in the way and one is juggling all the balls and putting all the jigsaw pieces in the least resistant position ..Breath love IN and OUT.. Be aware be really aware we all feel pain and  we all hurt at some time..Our love is fragile, our world is fragile, so be kind mindful, Be gentle with others ..
‘We don’t know when love will arrive. We don’t know when it will fade. We can only know that the unexpected will happen, that certainty is a falsity, and that things will be impermanent regardless of how tightly we clench our fists around them.’

Sunita Puri, “A Gift”

So give it up come with us, we who are creating a new world order that embraces the whole. Mmm lets all GO to the mountain. Its TIME to love fully speak from the heart  live and love with OUR mightiest being.  Lets  BE  OPEN and willing to embrace our love There is only is only US.. Let love, ALL of our HUMANITY BEING as ONE.  As Ben Lee says we are ‘all in this together ‘,  ..And  as our daring darling Yoko says “ War is over if we want it to BE… Make love not war …
 
 
 
Always with best intentions and delightful +++ generosity & great integrity’
 
Consider the other as self!  MMm wear ones integrity,  best intentions and love as an elegant outfit one is proud to wear and allow ones SOUL too GLOW through it… Mirror ones biggest self always.. Loving FULLY & FLAT OUT … BE LOVE IN ACTION!
 
AFTER THOUGHTS LEGAL MATTERS AND LIVING WITH INTEGRITY IN 2025
 
PS I have chosen NOT to EVER have a profile on Instagram or TikTok  in fact..So to the PROCURER who is using MY websites name /branding as a TAG on these 2 sites, above, I suggest you CEASE doing so, immediately!  As there could well BE legal and karmic actions taken UP VERY SWIFTLY  ..This is not a request it is a necessary if one understand anything about ‘Living with ones Integrity above the line”!

Hmm I suggest also  the owners of these Social Media sites lack boundaries themselves and  clearly unaware of Social Media protocols of genuine access and best practice.
 
Such unpleasant unnecessary very uncooperative micro management style . The issues are SO enormous and there appears  little understanding of equality, GENUINE FREE speech and good manners on many Social Media platforms in 2025..
 
It is about us those that have created, caring useful content in Social Media in the last 25 years, that truly matters. People Procuring  is not actually a creative choice it is not acceptable As we say in my world, live ones OWN life create ones own content..
 
Social Media is an opportunity to embrace ones creative space and speak to informed content and  LOVE.. Anything else, lacks integrity is very controlling and disrespectful. Social Media Owners and Procurers, alike could read a book and STOP messing with democracy and other peoples creative spaces..
 
THIS IS ABOUT ALL OF US LOVED ONES
