Standing Women

g Women --Mother's Day

Have you heard about the Standing Women event on Sunday, Mother's Day?
Women across the world are standing at 1:00 for five minutes of silence
to imagine a better world.

It is a pretty amazing thing. Thanks to Ann Fisher for her Dispatch
article on the event.  A group of women have invited women
all over the world to stand together.

The idea came from a book called a THE GREAT SILENT GRANDMOTHER
GATHERING: A STORY FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS SHE CAN'T SAVE THE WORLD by Sharon
Mehdi.

There will be 2284 women events in 66 countries. The number keeps growing.

The combination of women and good books continue to make the world a
better place.
