Today I had a meeting with a couple of city officials to discuss social services funding.
I will admit to being strongly outspoken. I will admit to passionately advocating for my neighbors (57% of whom live at, or below Federal poverty income guidelines).
I wasn't quite prepared however, when one official looked me in the eye and said, "You Ms. So and So, are the most dangerous kind of woman."
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes. You are a plain spoken woman with a mission."
So there you have it.
I'm plain spoken.
I'm on a mission and by golly, I'm a dangerous old broad.
And you know what?
I really am.

Well Ms. So and So, plain....no way. Spoken...if that means articulate and willing to take a risk for others. With a mission...if that means living with others in mind...well even though I was not there...am not sure what the tone was...but I give to you the compliment that you are anything but plain! You scream (even in total silence) love, care concern, justice! Thank you Ms so and so! I am glad to count you a friend!
Awww Patti! Your words so encouraged me.
Thank you my friend!
Thank you!
