Women's Rights Issues - Are You Reading Michelle Obama's Blog Yet?

Social Wellness and Women's Rights Issues - Are You Reading Michelle Obama's Blog Yet?

Thanks to Rebecca Walker, I realised Michelle Obama is now blogging over at my favourite bloggers hangout, the women's blogger BlogHer network.

That's a perfect, savvy pick!

Rebecca shared her five questions that she'd like to ask Michelle and I'll share my responses here too. Rebecca's three questions that I tackled:

1. We all have detractors, but when you allow yourself to be the most powerful self you can be, the number increases exponentially. How do you manage what some call the "haters"? The ones ideologically opposed to you and everything you stand for? Do you breathe, hit the treadmill, ground yourself in your love for your family? Do you see even your worst enemies as possible friends?

3. It's a tough question, but again, your candor about Barack's safety has been deeply affecting. You spoke about Barack being in danger just going to the gas station, as a black man in America. If Barack Obama is President of the United States do you think black men will be safer overall, and will the rate of their incarceration decrease?

4. I travel a lot, and sometimes feel guilt when I have to leave my son for days in order to work. How do you deal with the demands on your time? Does devoting so much of your energy to a larger cause give you more time with your daughters because you aren't working every day in in "the office," but less quality time overall? How do you think this decision will affect them in the long run?

My responses:

1. I breathe, vent if I need to in my journal, pillow etc, then practice sending them lots of love until it feels real.

3. Not necessarily. Hate doesn't end just because 'the' president is of the hated group. It will increase it and endanger everyone more in some cases. But the fact that the world doesn't end and they'll get to experience something different will help to educate, even if it doesn't sink in until their next time/times around...

4. I was just thinking about this over the weekend in relation to those girls, esp if Barack does win. The good thing is that they have strong parents committed to their family and Michelle will ensure that they all get the intimacy time they need.
Now that I'm writing this, I also remember that they all signed up for this at the Soul level and that whatever happens, the girls will understand the bigger picture.

How do feel Michelle Obama blogging will help create a higher consciousness society in the US and in the wider world, especially for women?
