That works.

Quoting wild_irises:

I've been avoiding the wishlist meme, while thinking about it. klwalton has now clarified it all for me. She says:

"So, really, the only thing I would put on my wish list is that I wish for everyone who reads this to just be kind to themselves. Whatever that means to you. Whatever it is that you are cruel to yourself about, give yourself a break. Then do something kind for someone you love - a small thing that you know that person adores.

"That's it. That's my wish list."

I'm not much of a fighter.

When I was attacked, I was in shock. I had lost a lot of blood, I was very frightened, and really, I'm truly not a fighter. For most of the assault, I complied and did what I needed to do to stay alive. When it was time for me to fight or die, I fought. Fighting was not my natural impulse, but I'm glad I fought, because I know without a doubt that fighting saved my life.

Now you can help other women learn to fight if they're attacked -- and way too many women are attacked. Please go read vito_excalibur's post on the matter and help if you're moved to do so. She already has the $100 she was seeking for her fight fee, but she's still accepting donations, and really would like attendees to support her and this great cause. Thanks for listening.
