POLITICS OF LOVE

As a blogger, I have always tried to stay away from politics, until recently and given today's political climate, it has become a little difficult to ignore.  I guess I have become more passionate about this topic, not only after the election of 2016, but especially, after my daughter was caught in the middle of gun violence in her high school on February 14, 2018 in Parkland, Florida. The issue of gun violence, immigration, climate change, economic inequality and overall social justice are all topics that I am passionate about.

As a Latina woman, in a Jewish household, who believes in the power of love and spirituality, this particular candidate caught my attention.  I have always known, Marianne Williamson as an amazing author but most recently, she was a guest on my dear friend, Pedro Biaggi's radio show, La Red Hispana and she really impressed me.  Marianne is a Presidential Democratic Candidate for 2020. She is an internationally-acclaimed American author,  of 13 books, 4 of them # 1 Bestsellers of the New York Times, including "A Return to Love,"

I am sharing the video below with you all simply to show you a different perspective and view on politics that you may not necessarily hear on the campaign trail. 

I love the importance she places on education and the future of our children.

As we all know, politics has always been about who has the most money and usually the most clout.  

I welcome Marianne Williamson to the political table because I am in 100% agreement that it ALL boils down to a "Return to Love" and that there is currently a "moral function" in this world. She also says, "we must now love with conviction and turn our love into political force."

As Marianne said in this interview, "It is time that we all step up our courage quotient!" 

Please take some time to watch and LISTEN to this interview in its entirety.  It is in ENGLISH, as soon as the introduction is over around the :30 second mark or so. I am very proud of my friend, Pedro Biaggi, a Hispanic radio personality, who presented Marianne with all the tough questions we needed to hear the answers to.

You obviously do not have to agree with my views or Marianne's but it is totally worth looking into a different point of view, unlike any other.  And while you may think, why is a spiritual guru and author jumping into the political arena, just remember this quote:

"The Presidency is not merely an administrative office. That's the least of it....It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership."---Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1932  

This Country, without a doubt, needs a moral and spiritual re-awakening" and someone like Marianne Williamson, just might be the one to play a role in this!  

Just something to think about!

15 QUALITIES OF A STRONG WOMAN

"A strong woman loves who she is, trust her instincts, speaks her mind and doesn't take crap from anyone." ~Lissette Rozenblat, a.k.a. Mommy Warrior

You, right there, reading this, you ARE a strong woman. You may not feel that way right now but you are. You care for your kids, you do your work, whether inside the home or out, you prepare dinner for the family, you take care of them when they are not feeling well, you have time to help your kids with homework, and you may have even over come some health challenges.  Sure, you may have said at the time, "Why me?"  But now you are much stronger for it, and that's what life is all about.  Learning and growing from life's lessons.

How strong are you emotionally?  Here is a list of my favorite qualities of strong women. Maybe you don't have all of these right now, maybe just a few, maybe one or two, but it is something to strive for to become a better person, a better mom, a better wife and an overall better human being.

QUALITIES OF A STRONG WOMAN

1.   She is confident.
2.   She trusts her abilities, but is always willing to learn more.
3.   She is not afraid to share her ideas and thoughts, regardless of
      what others think.
4.   She speaks her heart and her mind.
5.   She has a healthy handle on her emotions.
6.   She is independent and doesn't base her happiness on another individual.
7.   She not only stands up for herself but for others as well.
8.   She teaches others what she has learned - shares the wisdom acquired.
9.   She knows how to maintain a balance in her life between family, work, health and friends.
10. She accepts situations as they arise and adapts to them.
11. She is not needy in any way but is rather graciously detached.
12. She is happy when she is alone & does not need an entourage to fulfill her needs.
13. She knows how to handle herself in any situation.
14. She overcomes life's obstacles (whether it is health or financial) with grace and courage.
15. She inspires others to be strong.

The truly strong and fearless, never think they are.  It's like that quote:  "A woman is like a tea bag.  You never know how strong it is, until it's in hot water."  We, women are like that.  We coast along life doing our daily thing, until "something" happens and then that "mama bear" instinct takes over and we become fierce and stronger than we ever anticipated because it's who we are: MOMMY WARRIORS - STRONG WOMEN.

Get inspired!  Become a stronger woman today!   Lissette Rozenblat, Mommy Warrior
