Ponderings and Musings: Home from General Assembly
http://uutasha.blogspot.com/2012/06/i-just-returned-home-from-phoenix.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Home from General Assembly. I just returned home from Phoenix, Arizona, where my family (along with thousands of others) attended the 2012 General Assembly (GA) of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). It was a historic GA, our very first Justice GA. We came as people of faith, from all across the United States, to stand in solidarity with those fighting for immigration reform and against the dehumanizing policies and laws enacted in our country like SB1070.

Ponderings and Musings: July 2012
http://uutasha.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Hello, Hell - Can I leave yet? This is such a bad week. I think it's officially the week from Hell, and it far surpasses any previous weeks that seemed hellish. Unless some prayers get answered pretty quick, in 2 days we'll be living in a hotel room and everything we own will be in a storage unit somewhere. Or at least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself until this is over. Thursday, July 5, 2012. The view from Down Here. I've been mulling on how to articulate what it w...

Ponderings and Musings: Accessibility at General Assembly
http://uutasha.blogspot.com/2012/06/accessibility-at-general-assembly.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Accessibility at General Assembly. So, for those of you who don't know what these words mean, it boils down to this: Accessibility is about ensuring that everyone can fully participate. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. — Mahatma Gandhi. The experience of volunteering was more meaningful and fulfilling than I would have ever imagined. I spent hours sitting at a table, and found it to be some of the most important time that I had at G...

Ponderings and Musings: Youngling Programming
http://uutasha.blogspot.com/2012/06/youngling-programming.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. My son, age 13, really, really. Wanted to come to General Assembly (GA) in Phoenix this year. He wanted to be there to work for social justice, after years of listening to emma's revolution. CDs in the car with me. Our son participated in "Justice Camp" - programming that was designed for younglings ages 10 to 14. You can read more about Justice Camp and see pictures by clicking here. A group working on educating others and calling for passage of the DREAM Act. And he is reall...

Ponderings and Musings: Why do I bother with accessibility?
http://uutasha.blogspot.com/2012/06/why-do-i-bother-with-accessibility.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Why do I bother with accessibility? As I mentioned in my first post, I was blessed by being able to work on the General Assembly (GA) Accessibility Team as a volunteer. I was very excited to be able to do this work after my experiences over the last year facing challenges directly related to accessibility. Before I post about what that experience was like, I would like to share a bit of my story - it will help provide some context for that experience. It's frustrating to go to t...

http://uutasha.blogspot.com/2012/07/dont-wanna.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. There are few things in life that I am adamantly opposed to doing. Things I find unethical or unjust. Eating brussel sprouts. Moving. again. Since 2006, I've moved six times. And due to circumstances beyond my control, we're moving (again) in less than two weeks. I'm much more apprehensive about this move than the previous 3 moves. And I'm trying to figure out exactly why. Are the residents obviously proud of their homes? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Under the Ancient Oaks.

Because “As long as they’re having fun” is not enough | Raising Faith {dot NET}
https://raisingfaith.net/2015/07/02/because-as-long-as-theyre-having-fun-is-not-enough
Raising Faith {dot NET}. Where Unitarian Universalism meets Christianity meets Put the baby Jesus down RIGHT. NOW. {Jordinn Nelson Long and friends on faith and family life}. July 2, 2015. Because “As long as they’re having fun” is not enough. As long as they’re having fun. To me, on the other hand, this phrase sounds like neither freedom nor happiness. In fact, as the mother of two children, myself, these words make me feel just a bit crazed. As long as they’re having fun. I don’t really worry about that.

Ponderings and Musings: The view from Down Here
http://uutasha.blogspot.com/2012/07/view-from-down-here.html
Thursday, July 5, 2012. The view from Down Here. I've been mulling on something since June 2011, when I attended my first Unitarian Universalist General Assembly (UU GA). I've been mulling on how to articulate what it was like to people who've never sat in a wheelchair or scooter. How do you explain such a life changing experience, to a fully-abled person who has never been there? After over a year, it dawned on me whole driving home from church this past Sunday.
