Happy Birthday Amelia! Monrovia, Liberia - An ordinary day in Liberia, as Thanksgiving here is celebrated on the first Thursday in November. Liberia copied much from America, including this holiday, and then chose their way.
I awoke today to a huge sea, big waves and tide outside my home - and prayed that all the sadness and division in the world might be washed away and healed by Mother Earth, that we may one day realize we are indeed one human family and join hands with each other in love, compassion, and peace for the benefit of all beings and this planet. And in addition to my prayer and meditation and intention time, I shared my thanks for my treasured human family wherever I went today. Thanks to founding FFW member Loie Morris, her phrase "I love you more than tongue can tell" is used here now so often, just as I brought the word "FABULOUS!" to this totally wrecked country so many years ago. People here are FABULOUS and I love them more than tongue can tell!
Today I brought a special cake to our office in celebration of Amelia's birthday - she is not only a treasured member of our team for years, but is also mother of my namesake Deborah and her adopted sister Florence. JOY!

After the celebration, staff person/treasured friend Calvin and I bought a big bag of rice and delivered it to my dear friend Evelyn, who lives around the corner from me - alone, challenged after a stroke, no idea how old she is and who sells "small small" things, as one says here, from her plastic bucket each day in order to eat - and who has the most infectious smile and is pure love.
Please meet your sisters Amelia and Evelyn here - they are such a special part of our one human family. Thanksgiving Day love and blessings from Liberia - with such great appreciation for your belief in and support of the Foundation for Women,
