Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1. Commentary by our host Elaine B. Holtz:   I have a special guest for this show. Joining me in the on the phone from Independence, VA Joyce Rouse aka Earth Mama. “Earth Mama” uses earth wisdom, music, and laughter to spread the message that the earth is a “Mama” for all of us. Her programs are enjoyed by audiences of all ages and interests, twining together spirituality, education, and entertainment, in celebration with the earth. One of my favorite songs by Earth Mama which I play often, Standing on the Shoulders, which reminds us of those who have laid the foundations for all of us.
Talk about Standing on The Shoulders!  Thursday, August 26,  was Women’s Equality Day and the 101st anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution giving women the right to vote. To honor this the Board of Supervisors of The County of Sonoma, State of California, issued a Gold Resolution to the National Organization for Women (NOW) for its 2020 Woman's Suffrage Calendar celebrating the centennial of the 19th amendment and declared the Calendar to be an historic document.

The Sonoma County Chapter hosted a great Zoom meeting to celebrate and had some of the women movers and shakers in the community present to honor this event. Many of the presenters were in the calendar and, as a special treat, Supervisor Lynda Hopkins, representing the 5th District of Sonoma County, not only Gold Resolution of BOD County of Sonomaspearheaded the Gold Resolution but honored the group by reading it. As I listened, I just cried it was so beautiful to hear the women of our county, NOW and this historic calendar being recognized. You can listen to the whole presentation on the Facebook page of Sonoma County NOW Chapter.  It was inspiring. You can see and read the Gold Resolution at https://nowsonoma.org/Events.html#Gold  .

Today is the last Monday of the Month and we will be doing the Women's Spaces' Pledge.

On Saturday Ken and I visited the Petaluma Historical Museum's Woman's Suffrage Display – a shout out to Paula Freund for doing such a great job developing the exhibit and for the wonderful tour and history lesson. Sadly, this was the last tour of the exhibit.
Special Announcements: Women’s Spaces now has added Amazon Music and Audible as venues for our the Women’s Spaces Radio Show podcast, where all the shows beginning in December 2019 to present are available for playback. I am thrilled about this. A reminder, we also have our podcast on iTunes and Spotify. Additionally, some of our past TV shows are accessible on our Women's Spaces' YouTube Channel, which is also found under my name Elaine B Holtz. We are on the move. Tell your friends.

2. Our guest,  Joyce Rouse, recorded her song Standing on the Shoulders in 1966 in Nashville. This song would was later included in anthologies celebrating the Centennial of Women's Suffrage. Joyce would sing before kids and they remembered her for her song Earth Mama, and so the moniker stuck. Earth Mama's mission is for her songs to foster healing of our relationship to Mama Earth, the rising of the Divine Feminine and dismanteling of patriarchy, finding balance in all we use and in the yin and yang, the feminine and masculine. Earth Mama's latest album released this year in called Loving Kindness, something the political fomentations and the pandeminc certainly call for. We play one song from that album called The Great Vision. The interview completes with the song Herstory from the album Herstory, to keep the celebration of the Centennial of Women's Suffrage alive.

About our Guest: Joyce Rouse is a composer, educator and recording artist, based in Virginia. She has toured North America, delighting audiences for decades as musical performer Earth Mama, singing for climate action and sustainable living. She has been featured on numerous radio and TV shows, music festivals, and in various clubs and concert halls. With over 150 recording credits of her songs, her lyrics and her works have been featured in books, articles and textbooks worldwide.
As Earth Mama she has fourteen albums to her credit, including the recent HerStory album and just released Loving Kindness CD, consisting of interfaith songs of contemplation and celebration for a traumatized world much in need of Loving Kindness.
