My middle child M's class recently participated in an incredible event called Respect Diversity. Respect Diversity does an art contest each year and this year's theme was "Rainbow of Color". M's class got an honorable mention for their submission, titled Rainbow Peace Wheel. Tonight they held the 2009 Respect Diversity program. Since M didn't really have to DO anything for the program, this is the kind of thing I normally would have tried to avoid. But we went, because I'm self employed and things like this are part of the reason.
So we went and listened to speaker after speaker, and then Respect Diversity gave a 50 anniversary Humanitarian award to Clara Luper and some of the kids (now very much grown ups) involved in the Oklahoma City sit in back during the Civil Rights Movement. CLARA LUPER WAS THERE. What an amazing icon of American history. I am in awe. For once, I am thrilled I went to one of these things. Perhaps I should go more often. The bump on the log thing is not becoming.....

It must be an incredible feeling to be in the same room with someone who had such a pivotal impact on our nation. Women who are bold and face forward no matter what they encounter in life. What a blessing.
