I am so grateful and blessed. On Sunday 2nd November I was informed, by my Streatham & Brixton Quaker Friends Meeting House that the Area Meeting  have nominated me to have the responsibility to provide 'pastoral care', in my role as a Quaker Overseer. Such a privilege!

I wonder if my Higher Power is laughing, because although I know the Universal Law is always right, I am currently visualising myself as Whoopi Goldberg, in the film 'Sister Act'

That evening I told my beloved son James about my nomination. James smiled and then said "they had better watch out." Then we both laughed

Because I Am A Tory Feminist

If a woman wishes she is legally empowered to marry a woman in her faith 

Grateful & So Blessed. Thought for today, The feminist movement will continue to be flawed until we enlists male feminists support. Women can Transgender to Male and any lesbian, bisexual woman; anywhere in the World, is empowered to openly love her woman, marry her within her own faith and raise a family with her. Because I am a Tory I believe 'Woman Loving Woman' status is a number one Feminist Issue.
