I love working outside at my family's farm. I love the feel of the cool breeze on my face while hard at work with a chain saw or hatchet in my hand. I love the smell of the woods, the feel of walking through the forest over a carpet of soft moss. I am so greatful for the wonderful relationship I have with my father. I so enjoy working side by side with him in the woods. Having the freedom to work where and when I choose is a freedom I do not take for granted.
Reading the news this morning, I came across this article:

I have met women who take their basic rights for granted. Women in so many countries just have no comprehension of what their 'sisters' in other countries must deal with. I can not imagine what it would be like to be a woman living somewhere that the laws seem to protect the men and seem to disregard the women.
I have a wonderful relationship with my father and my husband; they are both very good men. I can not imagine what life would be like with a father who didn't love or care about me, and husband who didn't love or care about me. And, I am from a place where women have the same legal rights as men.
Peace.
