Kiva is a terrific organization. I have been participating and making loans for over a year, with no loss of my investment. It's humbling to me to be part of the Kiva process and to be able to reach out and directly touch the lives of others less fortunate than we are.

Hi Vered. I would vote for the woman, too all things being equal. I know they so rarely are in politics, but I think it’s incredibly important that our goverment reflects America as a whole.

I totally agree about the importance of voting, and taking into consideration a candidate's stands on women's issues. Personally, if a woman candidate is generally as qualified as the man, I would vote for the woman. But I know not everyone feels the same.

Hi Mel, you really are an amazing woman. I’m so happy to hear that your daughter escaped herion addiction; I can’t imagine the pain it caused the both of you. And then to be inspired to use that experience to help others, both by writing a book and donating the proceeds is beyond wonderful.

I really do think anything one can do to encourage others, to lift them up, to help them find an outlet is empowering and a public service. We can’t all give money, but we all have other gifts to give.

I don’t have the financial resources to give to this project, but when I wrote my last book, A Painful Post Mortem – a novel based on my daughter’s 13 year heroin addiction and her miraculous release – I decided that all the proceeds from sales would go to charities: Tearfund for its work among HIV mothers and babies in the developing world; and Care For The Family for their project in educating youngsters about the dangers of drugs.

I’m going to be speaking at the Salvation Army’s UK conference in June, about ‘enlarging my vision’ in which I shall be encouraging women to use all that God has given them, for the furtherance of his kingdom. Why am I doing this? Because years ago, when I felt I had nothing to offer Him of value, a major publisher encouraged me to use a tiny talent and to trust that in the Lord’s hands it might become a force for good.

I’m happy to help anyone in this respect. And I hope that not only my book, but also my blog on Creative Writing, comes into this category.
