This blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen

Good points. Another blog I just found that was really interesting was this one :

Thank you for your words, Robyn, and for your work. I’m a big fan of Sean Carasso and Falling Whistles. In fact, I was just speaking with a youth in my youth ministry about it today. He follows their stories and updates and owns a whistle himself. We continue to pray that attention is directed to this area of the world and the atrocities that are happening. Look forward to seeing what he and you dream up.

And I echo your thank you to Emerging Women for this and other posts they’ve included that keep issues like this in our focus.

Thanks, Melissa. Sean Carasso, of Falling Whistles, is a friend of mine from my youth ministry days. We keep in touch, and are working to figure out how to best support this organization and its message, but more importantly the people for whom this organization lends its voice.

Thank you for making us aware. I look forward to the day that Oprah takes a hour to talk about this human atrocity and lends her voice to these young boys.

And thank you, Emerging Women, for posting this. In our venture for equality we have to remember that it is not a fight to get ahead, or promote only ourselves, but rather a legitimate fight for equality–which includes all those who are getting left behind and voiceless. That fight needs to make sure that we are not so focused on ourselves that we barely notice the death of a man…and many like him. Thank you, Emerging Women, for keeping that on the fronts of our minds. I am sad that Oprah missed that, but glad that you did not.
