IT'S TIME FOR EQUALITY NOW!

EQUALITY NOW: Ending violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE TODAY - November 5

I've written extensively on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and will re-post the articles here shortly. We must see this through. It's time, past time for EQUALITY NOW!

Joss Whedon, Lydia Cornell

Last night at Equality Now at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills I met several feminist icons and girlhood idols: I was leaning against the wall alone when Gloria Steinem walked right up to me and reached out her hand. I have always wanted to meet her. She was so warm and lovely. I told her she was my inspiration. 

Then we heard the inimitable Joss Whedon speak. He is also one of my son's favorite creators. My son loves Firefly; I love Buffy.  Then I met Lily Tomlin, Gloria Allred, Donna Deitch, and Jessica Neuwirth the founder and president of Equality Now.   Jada Pinkett-Smith and Yasmeen Hassan spoke eloquently; Alison Hannigan introduced Joss Whedon; Colby Caillat sang her hit songs. (What a great performance.) Also in attendance were Paul Reiser, Jay Leno, Jane Fonda, Maria Bello, BlogHer creator Lisa Stone, and many more. 

Gloria Allred, Suzan Hughes, Gloria Steinem

During the dinner, three amazing young women stood on stage and performed true stories from the lives of girls who have been tortured and abused. My friend, the stunning, generous entrepreneur Suzan Hughes hosted several of us at her table: Samantha Faulkner, Gloria Allred and Janice Dickinson. 

I listened to stunning (and horrifying) statistics: more women and girls have died since 9/11 as a result of sex trafficking, abuse, gender violence, rape, domestic abuse -- than men have died in all the wars combined. 

Check out my Getty Images page which has over 400 photos from when I started in show business. :)) lol some of these are hilarious. Below are the newest ones from the red carpet.

For all the progress women are making in getting equality in the work world, it's still a good-old-boys club when it comes to working in prime-time television. Let's see about changing that, shall we?

SLAP ME IF I EVER COMPLAIN AGAIN

At the FSH FSH Society: Benefit for Muscular Dystrophy event in Irvine last weekend. With Olympic Gold Medalist Pat McCormick - the first woman diver to win 4 Gold medals in a row; and with MISS WHEELCHAIR 2012!!

Ms. Wheelchair 2012 - as the FSH Society to Benefit Muscular Dystrophy 

Please FOCUS ON THE MAN IN THE FIRST PICTURE. . IT'S HIM THROUGHOUT THE SERIES BELOW \ w If he is a hero...........She is an angel. PLEASE DO NOT HOLD ON TO THIS OR PRESS DELETE. SOMEONE HAS TO HOLD OUR COUNTRY IN THEIR HANDS. SEND THIS ON, AND ON AND ON. If you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for our military, please pass this on and remember our men and women who have served and are currently serving our country. And remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

Financial Godshot: 

Here is a small example of a godshot that just happened Wednesday. (FYI: a criminal defrauded me for my life savings, but only the good remains. The past 3 years I've had various roommates from all over the world. Right now it's China, Russia and Persia (!) I have the United Nations at my house.) 

So anyway.. there was a plumber at our house fixing the leaks in the pipes because the landlord was ordered to fix them by the City. I put money into this house, but my husband took all the money back out, so it reverted to prior owner. Anyway... this Hispanic handyman-plumber was here on Wednesday and I needed a few minor repairs done, but I can't pay him out of my pocket. 

So I thought to myself, I have a brand new trumpet in its case, that Jack (my son) never used. It is worth about $150. I was going to sell it on Ebay, but maybe the plumber has a kid who needs a trumpet. 

So I go outside and ask him: "Do you have any kids?" 

He said, "Yes, a daughter. She's fourteen." 

I asked, "Does she play any musical instruments? 

He says: "Yes, the trumpet."

At this point I know this is not a coincidence.  

I ask:      "Does she have her own trumpet?"

He says, "No, she rents one from the school." 

When I offered him the trumpet he was thrilled. He fixed everything I needed done: the new plug, the new lock, installed a new toilet, etc.  

This is a perfect example of synchronicity, or "supply meets demand" when you trust the universe...

I trademarked the name Godshot® and the minute I did so, several people tried to get the name from me. I received my "Registered" certificate from the USPTO with the gold seal. 

I'm' starting a book franchise like "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series -- in which each person gets to keep their own profits from their own book.  Children's Godshots; Kansas City Godshots; Cancer Godshots; Recovery Godshots... etc. 

Supernatural miracles or mere coincidences?

Godshot is not a religious term. A GodShot is an occurrence too remarkable to be just a random accident. God shots are those uncanny coincidences that seem to snap us into divine alignment. Since coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous, whenever I experience a connection that is too bizarre to be believed, too harmonious, too in-synch to be random, I immediately feel that I am snapped into aligned with my purpose in the universe, like a train that was off track and is suddenly back on. I feel that God is sort of winking at me, saying “Hello, yes I’m here — and by the way, you’re on the right track.” If you truly rely on a higher power, you will be rocketed to the 4th dimension. It is as if everything shifts into place and the mind is able to make connections it wouldn’t otherwise. As long as I stay on God’s track, these reassuring signposts keep popping up. Things seem to unfold effortlessly, doors suddenly open that were closed and I am in the flow.Some people would call these things supernatural miracles, and some would call them merely coincidences. You decide.

If all you did was just look for things to appreciate, you would live a joyous, spectacular life.
