This video is about a movie being made from a movement. There's some interesting footage of people in action at a grass roots level. I have long wanted to be the kind of person who makes a difference but it seems I was always getting in my own way. I didn't always know that's what I was doing but as I look back on the past with the knowledge and experience I have now, I know..."It was all me, every bit of it me." I proclaim that 2010 is going to be an exception to the rule. If there's a shift going on (and I do believe there is) I want to be a part of it. I have three goodies for you and each one will contribute to galvanizing your mind and preparing you get out of your own way and take action on your dreams and desires: 1) a free hypnosis MP3 titled Create the Life You Want at my iCreateHabits.com blog 2. Songs to Galvanize Your Mind list available here. 3. The Sheri and Erin Show on Blog Talk Radio.

Each of these goodies will give your mind what it needs to live free from fear so you can take part in 'The Shift' if you're ready.

publicimageSong six on the countdown was released 30 years ago but thanks to YouTube, this year I experienced the song in a new way. I used to listen to PiL on my walkman and I always felt energized. Sometimes I even danced around when I heard it. But it never occurred to me that groups of young people would be going wild about it on American Banstand. John Lydon sure did know how to activate a crowd and watching him in action makes it worth bringing this song out of the vault. itunes_iconBuy Careering by Public Image Limited on iTunes. Watch on YouTube video Here are the results of the countdown so far: #6 - Careering by Public Image Ltd. #7 - One Tribe by Black Eyed Peas #8 - Fight Riff by Eula.

Women of Zimbabwe Arise Awarded Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award

President Obama presents the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award to the 2009 winners Magadonga Mahlangu and her organization Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) in a ceremony in the East Room of the White House on November 23. The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award was established 24 years ago to shine a bright light on injustice and those who are fighting it. Obama spoke of how the award is based on Robert ("Bobby") Kennedy's "belief that in this world, there is right and there is wrong and it is our job to build our laws and our lives around recognizing the difference. " Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) began operating in 2003 and is dedicated to empowering women to speak out on issues that impact their families and their country such as hunger, public health, rape, domestic violence and poverty. "WOZA's guiding principle is tough love. The idea that political leaders in Zimbabwe could use a little discipline. And who better to provide that than the nation's mothers," Obama said. Over the past 7 years, WOZA has staged more than 100 protests. They have been gassed, abducted, threatened with guns and badly beaten but continue their work. Magadonga Mahlangu has been arrested 30 times and jailed numerous times. She has been beaten badly by police yet she continues to fight. "When asked how they can endure so much violence and what keeps them going in the face of such overwhelming odds, the women of WOZA reply simply, 'each other.' That may be Magadonga's greatest achievement. She has given the women of Zimbabwe each other...She's given them a voice they can only have collectively said Obama." "By her example Magadonga has shown the women of WOZA and the people of Zimbabwe that they can undermine their oppressors power with their own power. They can zap a dictators strength with their own."

William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe Opens at Nu Art Theatre

If you like a story about going against the odds and fighting for justice, you might enjoy William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe. The film opened today at the Nu Art in Los Angeles. Gary Goldstein of the LA Times calls it a "superior documentary" with "terrific archival footage from a range of seminal civil rights events." Filmmakers Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kuntsler explore the life of their father, the late radical civil rights lawyer. In the 1960s and 70s, William Kuntsler fought for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. and represented the famed "Chicago 8" activists who protested the Vietnam War. When the inmates took over Attica prison, or when the American Indian Movement stood up to the federal government at Wounded Knee, they asked Kunstler to be their lawyer. To his daughters, it seemed that he was at the center of everything important that had ever happened. But when they were growing up, Kunstler represented some of the most reviled members of society, including rapists and assassins. This powerful film not only recounts the historic causes that Kunstler fought for; it also reveals a man that even his own daughters did not always understand, a man who risked public outrage and the safety of his family so that justice could serve all.

Today I am listening to the third week of a teleseminar series titled Women on The Edge of Evolution and it occurs to me, "more people should know about this". So, here I am, blogging about it. The teleseminar series is free and there are still 11 sessions to go. You can also listen to replays if you miss the call. To sign up, go to www.womenontheedgeofevolution.com The speakers I've heard so far are Barbara Max Hubbard, Jean Houston and Diane Musho Hamilton. The overall tone of the series is to embrace the feminine and also to embrace leadership, authenticity and creativity. I've learned a lot from listening and look forward to upcoming calls. If you like it, pass it on.
