Oregon Women Lead
Last night I attended an event in Salem for women interested in politics. I was blown away! Until recently I thought I'd be leaving the politics up to Bob, but lately I've been considering a number of positions. I am the Secretary of my local professional board and I think that through that and attending our neighborhood association meetings, I've learned that I want to be involved, I want to express new ideas and I want to make a bigger difference. So last night I mentioned serving on the Planning Commission - a non-elected position, but one where 7 men currently sit. The response was incredible, 'You need to meet this person...' 'Hi I'm so and so and are you involved in 'x' yet?' So I guess I have a little bit of work to do, but I am excited.
On another note, I'm applying for a national position with the AIA (American Institute of Architects, same organization I am the Secretary for the Salem Chapter). There I said it. Application is due tomorrow for the Young Architects Forum. I'm not sure I really have a chance, I took a big step without taking many small ones, but at least I'm still walking.

Very Moving
Last night Bob and I went to one of the healthcare vigils. Whenever groups of people gather I am moved. It breaks my heart to hear their stories and see that people of every type are fighting to have a basic right. Please call your congress (man/woman) today, or heck send an email and let them know that we all deserve affordable healthcare, we all deserve the right to preventative care, we can no longer be denied coverage or face the rising cost each year.
