That\u2019s a big responsibility but one she has been able to carry.<\/p>\n<p>You may be wondering what Francesca\u2019s Bat Mitzvah has to do with my blog.\u00a0 Well I wanted to take this special family event and open the lens to encompass the global family of women.\u00a0 Last month, with my book group, we read a very important book by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, <em>Half the Sky &#8211; Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. <\/em>The book illustrates through individual stories of oppression and triumph over oppression the power of women in the world.\u00a0 What does this have to do with Francesca\u2019s Bat Mitzvah you say?\u00a0 Well I want to continue the theme of last week\u2019s blog on Starlings.\u00a0 The idea that if we love our neighbor, truly love our neighbor, then a ripple effect can happen.\u00a0 In that same vein hold up one girl, support one woman and the world can change.\u00a0 I\u2019ll refer more to the book <em>Half the sky<\/em> in my Friday post, in the mean time I\u2019ll be working on a piece of art to encompass the idea of the <em>everywoman<\/em> holding up half the sky, half the world. \u00a0I hope I have piqued your interest to follow the link <a href=\"http:\/\/www.halftheskymovement.org\/stories\">http:\/\/www.halftheskymovement.org\/stories<\/a> and find out how helping one girl can start to change the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am traveling this week to New York City.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to witness my niece Francesca\u2019s Bat Mitzvah on Saturday and to help during the week ahead with all the details such an event requires.\u00a0 This will only be my [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[88],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-inspiration"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
