world summit on women & hiv

'kay ~ i'm starting this post and i expect that other tentacles will contribute. one particular tentacle works at WORLD - women organized to respond to life threatening disease.
somehow, she manages to mobilize all the rest of us to come work on some of their big events, like cape-making for the aids walk and this summit that just happenned on november 30th.
its always such a rich experience at world, because there is so much heart and passion and gratitude in the women who make it all happen. at the summit, i had the opportunity to lead a workshop for affected communiy members - friends and family of women living with hiv. there is so much learning and so much strength to be drawn from each other, and so much of it is just about telling stories.
i also volunteer-dominatrixed at the summit, and i have so much gratitude and respect for all of the might people who showed up to make it happen! we pulled it off without any real hitch - or glitch- or whatever you call it. way to be on your game, volunteers. the day was inspiring for me and i hear for many other volunteers...
other tentacle thoughts?
