Is this true or what? You be the judge...

How does it feels to be a woman in the 21st Century?

In Kalamazoo, MI it is very terrible for me here. I was invited by schollarship and reduced to a baby making machine for married wealthy childless couples! I had to learn the hard way that justice is VERY social as is injustice and there is an abuse of all things! These people here are possibly not human and to cover all of their crimes against me they keep me poor and stalked! There is little help aside from their constant success at supression that apeases them and makes these sad excuses for humans comfortable that they will not be disclosed-along with my depleting spirit to fight them. This company town has defended itself well in covering their whimpsical destruction of my life for all I have managed is very little personal belongings and my sanity (this is probable good considering what they have done to me). There is great compensation in order but I can not do this alone as they have rendered me very alone indeed, they offer me their choices for me from time to time but you can imagine what thoes must be like now that you know what it's (they're) really like...yours truely, a 3rd generation white woman not doing well at all in Kalamazoo. -L. Kelly, MI

How do you celebrate your success and the success of others?

I am not allowed to succeed at anything! A mentally ill woman...will apear on any scene and compete and do anything (illegal, imorral...)to win! Even the little red car I reciently aquired had sugar put into the gas tank to ruin it so that the bimbo's with little red cars could stalk and drive by me...(this is a guess but I'm sure I am close). Every relationship has been destroyed, every job blocked, stollen or I'm harrassed out...everything! Even the latest step mom in the picture aquired a little red car after mine was destroyed and this was after she was driving a little white car(what I had wanted for quite some time allready...) These freaks are really like this and the crimes reported to appropriate authorities...to no avail in fact I am usually punished for reporting...I do not celebrate success, there is little to celebrate...staying sane in this nightmare one more day is all I get so far just to be put through it the next day...That's all there is, that's all they have to offer here and they won t let me have money...to responsibly move. -L. Kelly, MI

I believe that in society today relationships are 50/50. A woman can make the money in the household, a woman can pay for dinner, and a woman has every right to make crucial decisions. I believe a girl can go out and spoil a guy that she cares for just as much as the guy can. I know that with the way that my mother raised me I will be an outstanding woman in today's age.

Announcing the extension of the "Every Woman Contest"...Giving Busy Women Who Want To Write -But Can't Get Started.

How 18 - 88 years old women see themselves as women in the 21st century?

Weaverville, NC, February 27, 2007- Annmarie Edwards sponsor of the "Every Woman Contest," extends contest until March 31, 2007, by giving busy women who want to write-but can't get started more time (http://everywomancontest.blogspot.com).

“I feel extremely blessed to be a woman in the 21st century. I am living in a time when a woman can run for president, be governor of states and head bishops of churches” Jackie F.W., GA contestant.

The "Every Woman Contest," gives women 18 years of age and older who are residents of the United States an opportunity to express themselves as a contributor to the world.

"I am 67 years old and want to live another 67 years, but I know thats now possible. Being my age in this century is the best and the worst. I grew up in the 50's nieve, a prim and proper little girl. Now I can live, learn and enjoy all the marvels of inventions, hip hop, and day to day miracles." -Andrea B., FL, contestant.

“The inspiration for the contest came to me one night as I was preparing for bed,” say Edwards. “The image of a woman appeared to me in the bedroom curtain, and I painted her the next day. The feeling of empowering women stayed with me after I painted the picture. It appeared that the image I painted brought forth a message for women to empower themselves. This image represents "every woman."

Women over the ages have been suppressed and treated with indignity. This contest provides a conduit for women to take back their creative form and express their true self in an enlightening way. Women need to take charge of their future by becoming more vocal. As such, the "Every Woman Contest" provides the forum for women to speak their mind in a non-judgemental way.

Edwards was chosen by the spirit world as a messenger to bring forth the empowerment of women during this period. There is a paradigm shift on earth, which is moving towards the feminine energy. To that end, women need to shift their belief system and become more aware of their role in this great universe in bringing balance to the world.

The spirit world insists that women everywhere begin to form a unifying force in celebration of self and achievement of others. According to Annmarie Edwards, "women need to bridge the gap and take away boundaries. It is time for women to celebrate feminity for what it is in a non-judgmental way."

More job opportunities, More freedom to decide in which direction you want for your future. I feel there is added stress on women today.
