Three Things About Me

THREE THINGS ABOUT YOU!!!
Copy and re-post into your own bulletin with your three things...
Three names you go by:
1. Coucoumelle (over the internet)
2. Juana la Cubana (to a few people in Paraguay, and on my blog)
3. Mom, Mommy, Maman...
Three parts of your heritage:
1. Ummm, I grew up in Moose Factory, that's a major part of my heritage, I can't claim to be Cree or anything, but Cree people definitely had an influence on how I act and how I think. (Going to live in a non-native environment was actually a culture shock to me, and it took a few years to figure it out!!)
2. French-Canadian
3. Scottish/English-Canadian
(My siblings and I have finally come to the conclusion that we just don't fit in anywhere, English-Canadians think we're French, French-Canadians think we're English, and of course noone's going to mistake us for Cree (heh heh). Or maybe it's just that we're truly Canadian?)
Three things that scare you:
1. The possibility that I might not be able to pass my faith on to my children.
2. Government (and what they're doing to destroy society in the name of certain peoples' so-called "rights").
3. Losing a child in the swimming pool. I live in terror at the thought that another of my children might fall in, and this time, drown to death. Losing a child period. I am also afraid that one will run out into the street in front of a car or something...
Three of your everyday essentials:
1. Patience, (lots of it, in fact I STILL don't have enough of it).
2. A little time to myself, for either writing, communicating, or some artistic thing...
3. Sleep!!!
Three things you are wearing right now:
1. A newborn baby,... yes, I pretty much "wear" him for now... :)
2. Valentine's day pyjamas with little hearts and silly love-messages all over it, which were on sale after Valentine's Day for only a couple of dollars, so hey, who's going to see me in pyjamas anyway?
3. Wedding ring
Three things you need in a relationship (other than real love):
1. Patience
2. Tolerance
3. Compromise
Two truths and a lie (in any order):
1. I am afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
2. I shower every day (in fact it is almost an obsession).
3. It should be obligatory for every gynecologist to ALSO follow a course in mid-wifery.
Three physical things about the opposite sex that appeal to you:
1. Broad shoulders
2. Something in the eyes, don't know what it is, but when I see it, I know it...
3. ummmm... a sympathetic face...
Three of your favourite hobbies:
1. Crafts (and painting which I never get to do anymore)
2. Reading (and writing)
3. Sports (which I also never get to do anymore)
Three things you want to do really badly right now:
1. Play soccer again
2. Attend the next World Youth Days in Australia (yeah right, dream on!)
3. Sleep...
Three places you want to go:
1. Scotland
2. Back to Paraguay to visit again
3. Ummmm...
Three things you want to do before you die:
1. See my children grow up (don't want anyone else bringing them up!)
2. Finally learn to play piano properly
3. Be happy
Three ways that you are stereotypically a girl/guy:
1. I like things placed just so...
2. I prefer romance to pure action
3. The maternal instinct

Sectes

Il y a peut-être un an de cela, une amie m'a dit qu'elle avait entendu dire certains gens traiter Marie-Jeunesse de secte. Mon mari ne connait pas Marie-Jeunesse, mais il est convaincu qu'Opus Dei est un secte et le livre "Le code DaVinci" n'a fait, bien sur, qu'affirmer ses croyances. Pourquoi est-ce que quand un groupe suit le Vatican et ses enseignements et encourage les autres à le faire aussi, même des personnes à l'intérieur de l'Église le traitent de secte?! La suite logique à cela serait de dire que le Vatican lui-même est un secte! Alors ces gens-là pensent quoi? Qu'ils ont la vérité et que c'est le Vatican qui en a dévié? Qu'ils sont les vrais catholiques, alors que le Vatican n'a pas de bons sens? Il y a presque 15 ans j'ai fait partie de Marie-Jeunesse, avant que ce groupe ne devienne communauté religieuse. Laissez-moi vous dire que Marie-Jeunesse n'a rien d'un secte. Libre à vous d'y aller ou d'y par

Crashing into Thin Air - Excerpt From Chapter Seven

-
She was deep into a website project on her laptop when Christian came home later.  She saved her work and closed the laptop. “So?”  She asked, as he sat across the table.  “How was it?” He eyed her.  “You enjoy talking about yourself?” He asked. Joanne nodded. “To a stranger?” Joanne shrugged, “Sometimes that’s easier.”  She said.  “Strangers don’t judge.  They don’t really care.  They aren’t personally involved.” “So you’ve done this before?  Talked to a psychiatrist about your problems?” “Uh, no.  Not really.” Christian shook his head.  “So how can you know you’d like it?  What do you think it’s like, having to go through unpleasant memories that you’d rather forget?  It’s not much fun!” “Sorry.” Joanne replied. “So if you enjoy talking about yourself so much, why don’t you tell me what you were going to tell me this morning?” “You’re not a stranger.” Joanne reminded him.  “That makes things more complicated.  Which doesn’t mean I won’t tell you anything.” She

Problems in Bolivia

-
Now this is what I am talking about. This is what people are fleeing away from, this is why the US has so many illegal immigrants, this is why people have a love-hate relationship with the US, what is the US going to do about it? (From the SOA Watch :) We are writing with grave concern about an emerging conflict in South America´s poorest nation, Bolivia and we need you to take immediate action. Bolivia is facing a critical moment in which the survival of a new era of hope is gravely threatened. After suffering decades of military dictatorships followed by years of economic dictatorship, Bolivia heralded in a new moment of dignity with the election of its first indigenous president, Evo Morales. However, just one month after a recall referendum gave Morales 67% of the vote, Bolivia's secessionist movement has unleashed unprecedented violence throughout the country. After three days of riots, 8 people have died, several government institutions have been destroyed and Bolivia´s gas
