My Name Is Susan. And I Am Canadian.

Posted by Susan in lovehappinessFUNfreedomDubaiconnectioncommunityCanada

maple_leaf.gifA fellow Canadian reminded me this morning that today, July 1, is Canada Day.

Living here in Dubai, where it’s 45 Celsius and God-knows-how-humid at the moment, I guess I could be forgiven for forgetting my country’s 142nd birthday.

Truth be told, I often don’t keep track of what day of the week it is, let alone what DATE. I probably should have remembered yesterday as I blogged about

This Struggle's Got My Vote

Posted by Susan in violencestruggleIraninspirationfreedomfeminismconnectionconflictcommunityaction

I started college when I was 29.

The university degree (a Bachelor of Arts) with which I’d graduated a decade earlier hadn’t been of much practical value when it came to finding interesting, rewarding and challenging work.

So I “went back to school” on the cusp of 30, at the recommendation of my then-boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend.

(My life often unfolds in interesting ways,

One Young Woman Dies In The Street In Tehran

Posted by Susan in violenceinspirationhopegirlsfamilyfailureconnectionconflictcommunity

Q: If an innocent young woman gets shot in a street in Tehran, does she make a sound as she dies?

A:
Yes, and the whole world hears her.

Anonymous Iranian blogger, June 21, 2009, on Twitter


I abhor violence.

So much so that I don’t go to movies that feature blood, guts and/or guns.  And I’d never seen anyone die. For real, I mean. Until yesterday.

Yesterday I watched a

As post-election trauma and violence sweep across Iran, the powerfully positive forces of music and dance are also at work transforming our world.

Today, I was exposed to two inspirational musical initiatives, one of which I’d like to share with you now (I’m saving the other one for later).

There are three fabulous videos in this post; they tell a sequential story.

Happy Birthday To My Blog Which Is One Year Old Today

One year ago today, I wrote my first-ever blog entry (Like A Virgin?), in which I joined "the millions online who share their joys, sorrows, thoughts, ideas, opinions and more, in a worldwide orgy of information."

At the time, I thought it marked the end of a journey, and so I wrote:
Most of the time I’ve traveled alone. I got lost, stumbled, tripped, fell, took wrong turns, and had to

Posted by Susan in inspirationhealthamazing women

If seeing the process chickens go through before they get to the supermarket shelf has made you think twice about the food you put in your mouth, you might be interested in the healthy living summit that my friends The Raw Divas have put together.

The Raw Divas hooked up with some of the world's leaders in health, natural remedies, childcare, parenting, positive communication, and

Speaking Out For Those Who Are Silenced

Posted by Susan in violencetravelinspirationconnectionconflictaction

Normally I don't publish articles or blog posts about men.

(Not because I'm anti men! But because this website is dedicated to celebrating women and their achievements.)

Yesterday however, on the 20th anniversary of the massacre in Tiananmen square, I made an exception and wrote a post to salute the bravery of the unknown man who stood in front of the army tanks. His courageous act

A Salute to An Unknown Man's Bravery And Courage

Posted by Susan in violenceinspirationhopeconflictaction

Twenty-years ago today, one man stood alone and stopped the advance, at least temporarily, of a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square.

His amazing act of defiance, a modern-day David defying the Chinese army Goliath, has inspired me ever since.

I’ve often wondered about the lone protester and his story. Who was he? How old was he? Where did he come from? Did he have brothers and sisters? A

Hooray For People Who Dance in Random Places

Posted by Susan in positive thinkingmusicjoyinspirationhappinessFUNentertainmentdancecreativitycommunity

So you thought that my suggestion to stop worldwide recession and start worldwide dance was silly huh?

Gotcha'!! I'm not the only crazy dance fanatic on this planet.

According to an article in my "hometown" newspaper the Calgary Herald:

Collin Wynter (is) an Internet sensation known around the World Wide Web as The Dancing Man.
