| Other Info | web site: HerLifeHerWords.com Interim Place is committed to ending violence against women and their children. In order to support our programs and services that help close the door on abuse and open the door to hope, we launched our Speaker Series in 2003 as a luncheon event. The "Women of Courage" Luncheon Speaker Series profiled inspirational women speakers and brought them to the Mississauga community. As the speaker's series evolved, we have renamed the series,"Her Life, Her Words"and continue the tradition of bringing women of national and international repute whose lives and work reflect our beliefs in our mission and vision of our organization - namely a commitment to social justice, feminism, anti-racism, anti-poverty, anti-oppression and a firm commitment to issues that are important to women and their communities. We invite speakers who have wonderful stories to inspire personal growth and who provide inspiration for positive change. Now 20 lunches later, our speaker series has raised much needed funds and brought great women's stories to the community. In 2008, we launched our new name, logo and website and brought the series back to the Region of Peel. In order to attract larger audiences, the 2009 Speaker Series will be held in the evening as a 3 hour event. Every year we need to raise approximately CAD$600,000 ,a third of our funds from non-governmental sources to support our current programs and services. With competition from other not-for-profit organizations in terms of the variety of events organized for fundraising, the Her Life, Her Words Speaker Series has proved to be a successful and unique vehicle. It's unique because there are no other organizations in the Peel region doing a speaker series and in particular profiling women speakers. Our aim is to grow the speaker series into one of Peel region's high caliber, must-see events. |

You are going to be in so much trouble……….love the video such memories. Mash, Hair, Woodstock, dirty little lies, big horrible lies, watergate, Bobby, Jack, got married in 1961, cuba crisis & me in Sarasota, trailer new husband working all the time, knew nothing just glad to be away from……what had been at home. No bra, lots of mouth, never at a loss for words and always in a fight, many times over you. Larry didn’t have to go, he married me, girlfriends lost husbands, brothers, I was 15 when married in 1961, Barbarella rocked our world, Klute was classic, times were so bad and yet so good now at age 63 and looking back at it……you are going to be in so much trouble, that is what they always were saying to me……just shut up and look the other way. That didn’t happen. Took 20 years to drag me into any kind of conformity………2 kids, 5 grandkids, 2 great grandkids and the same husband and you rock my world. I am tired of sitting on the side lines of my life, love that video……umhum so many blind minds good to know there are still phoenix rising out of the ashes of the past Lady Jane Seymore, long ago Queen of England, struggled and her epitaph reads, “Here lies Jane, a phoenix, Who died in giving another phoenix birth. Let her be mourned, for birds like these
Are rare indeed. Lady Jane Seymour reminds me of your third act, you too are giving birth, wondrous bird. Labor pains of a remarkable past which makes you what you are becoming today. I so remember you……… I am a survivor.
I started twittering when I saw you on the View. My husband and I were sitting there listening about the awards when you said you “twittered” and we looked at each other, it didn’t mean the same thing to us as it means today lol. This is my 2nd Blog. Twittering is fun, but, Blog…Good Golly miss Molly what a Blast! I read my former epistal to my husband, Larry and he said I had to write back and say hi from him. You rock his world too.
