Welcome to truly inspirational thinking...
...written in the most engaging, provocative, and eye opening terms. The writing and cultural nuances are targeted to women in their 50's and 60's, born in the 50's and 60's. And yet everything in these blogs is universal and applies to us all.
With each blog MANEreviews.com offers a short introduction and a link to the full article. May you be touched, enriched, and enlightened by what you experience in these pieces, and may they inspire you to do something you might not have otherwise.
In this piece Djanka addresses a timely and possibly universal subject; who we are, how we communicate with each other, and how we treat each other. And those activities are being sorely tested these days with possible dire outcomes.
Speaking from the heart, manners and politeness, and love are the building blocks for all of us to get to a point where we all can understand and respect each other - all of which will enable us, whether we agree or disagree with another's culture or point of view, to answer Rodney King's all encompassing question, "Can't we all just get along?"

I grew up in a noisy Eastern European family that only knew spirited discussions around the dinner table. Our relatives would debate over a spread filled with food and drink. The tone was loud to compete with the lively conversations happening simultaneously. Once the night was over, everyone would hug, kiss and part ways until the next time. No one internalized what was spoken during the heated discussions that transpired throughout the evening. There was no hypersensitivity to anything, only rigorous debate. Political Correctness didn’t exist. If someone was offended, it was their problem in how they heard or processed the exchange. Curiously no one ever was. When speaking with compassion, we naturally pull on language that the speaker and listener are cognizant too.
