&lt;p&gt;Dear Women Friends Worldwide:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope you’re having a wonderful day pressing ahead with your activities and activism. This year’s campaign theme is “Press for Progress” and it’s just fantastic to be pressing ahead with gender parity and other issues that affect all women world-wide. In most countries, in areas like education and health, we are on par with men. However, in the world of work women continue to be underemployed and work for lower wages than a man doing the same job. We all know that economic equality is worth fighting for not only for ourselves but for our families and the economy of our countries as well.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dust If You Must</title><link>/posts/dust-if-you-must/</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/dust-if-you-must/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/Lateblooms/n-ZkfX3Q/2015/Dust-if-you-must/i-skPbRPR/0/LBDDh8gpLwjk7s3MCbmFZ64JGvrKLhMt9x6K6vvDN/D/House-Proud-001-D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="House Proud-001" loading="lazy" src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Lateblooms/n-ZkfX3Q/2015/Dust-if-you-must/i-skPbRPR/0/LBDDh8gpLwjk7s3MCbmFZ64JGvrKLhMt9x6K6vvDN/D/House-Proud-001-D.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The poem below is a new discovery for me.  I came across it on Facebook a few days ago and was fascinated by the insights that the poet, Rose Milligan, was able to present in these four stanzas.  I was curious to find out who she was but there wasn&amp;rsquo;t a plethora of information available on her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dust If You Must&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dust if you must.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;But wouldn’t it be better,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;To paint a picture, or write a letter,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
