I’ve been listening to the political wags going on and on about Hillary… Is she really ruining the democratic party? Should she quit? I don’t think so. There’s still a lot of water to go over that dam! Who knows what will happen next. So let it play out. I encourage each of you to support the candidate of your choice. But if it’s Hillary, and you don’t want her to quit, be sure you tell her so.

This morning, Maya Angelou wrote this entry on the Clinton blog… I thought it worth repeating here…

Author: Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits end, but she has always risen, always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.

Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and all she asks of you is that you do not give up on her.

There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you’re born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But, to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies.

Hillary Clinton is a woman. She has been there and done that and has still risen. She is in this race for the long haul. She intends to make a difference in our country.

She is the prayer of every woman and man who long for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy.

She declares she wants to see more smiles in the families, more courtesies between men and women, more honesty in the marketplace. Hillary Clinton intends to help our country to what it can become.

She means to rise.

She means to help our country rise. Don’t give up on her, ever.

In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country a wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety, without crippling fear.

Rise Hillary.

Rise.

This morning I woke up as I often do, to the broadcast of Morning Edition on npr radio. The voice was that of a social worker from the Bronx. He was telling how, on his way home from work, he had been robbed at knife point by some young kid. I expected the voice to tell me how angry he was, how victimized he felt… but no.

The story he told was totally unexpected and had me sitting up in bed, listening intently. I can’t do the story justice. You have to read or listen to this for yourself.

A Note from the Publisher:

I’ve done my share of online dating. First tried match.com. No luck. Then eHarmony.com. Had a little more success there, but made a big mistake. I did not post a photograph. Anyone interested in dating online, wants to see your face along with your name. I don’t take the best photo, so I avoided the issue by not posting a picture of myself. It wasn’t a problem at first. I had several contacts to pursue, and one, a lawyer, seemed most eager to meet me… until I finally posted my photo. Then I got dumped. The problem – I don’t know if it was my face he didn’t like… or he just found someone else.

My Advice: Without a face, it is easy to assume the best or the worst about your potential online mate. Be upfront right from the start. Post your best photo and let the chips fall.

Here is more advice to follow for online dating.

Where does one meet mature women? It is more difficult than you might think. For those of us that prefer experience to the blush of youth, this is an important question. Younger women make themselves available to date, they regularly attend bars and other social functions whose whole purpose is to pair people off with one another. Not so the mature woman. She has tastes a tad more elegant and refined. There is no such sexual mecca for mature women, but if not the traditional meat markets where is one supposed to meet them?

I know one man who started attending church for just this reason. He was a divorcee in his early forties and not particularly religious. He had noticed that there were a substantial number of single (for one reason or the other) women his age attending church, so he became a regular patron. This worked out well for him. He was able to attend all kinds of social functions, and meet single mature women. But despite how well this worked out, it’s a lot of trouble to go to when there is an easier way to go about it.

Deprived of the meat market, mature women are now meeting potential partners via online dating. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, really. After all the whole point of online dating is to lay all your cards on the table from the start, and see who is interested. This suits that mature woman’s frame of mind. Nothing like the ticking of the biological clock to give a girl a sense of efficiency in dating. No time to mess around when forty is just around the corner.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that mature women make up a large percentage of online daters. Housewives play a lot of online games, and once one is accustomed to the feeling of an online community, it’s a short step from using it to find entertainment to using it to find love.

Everyone wants to believe that the life they lead has a purpose— a meaning, a reason for being. Some are lucky enough to discover this purpose early in life, and they dedicate their days, clearly focused on the one thing they are convinced they are to do in this world.

Years ago I attended a Bonnie Raitt concert. At one point during her performance, the famous singer chatted with the audience, and she told us how happy she was at that very moment, singing on stage, doing what she had always wanted to do. She explained that her purpose in life had become clear to her at the tender age of 12. She wanted to be a performer. And that was that.

I envy her for the focus of her life. It has not always been easy. I know a woman who managed the hotel where Bonnie stayed when she was on tour near Boston. Wild parties and all nighters were common. The hotel was not fancy and it appeared the singer was often just getting by. But she had a dream and she stayed with it. Made it happen.

Recently, Oprah Winfrey has been sponsoring a new online video workshop with the writer Ekhart Tolle. Together they discuss his book A New Earth. This best-selling book focuses on this very subject: finding your purpose in life.

It’s worth a look. Sign up and download the workshop here.
