You know the secret of creating new habit is repeating behavior over time and I guess I haven't been too good at doing that with updating my blog.  Well I'm turning over a new leaf!  I get to do so many wonderful things and meet so many extraordinary people I want to be able to share them with you as much as possible. Over the weekend I had the privledge of moderating a panel on the impact of the Media on the 10th Annual Women and Influence Conference sponsored by Women's Way.  Respected journalist and activist Linda Wright Moore from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Documentary Film Maker Jude Ray and Educator, Film maker and media liberacy advocate Nuala Cabral were panelists.  How often do you see women sexualized, undermined and disrespected in the media?  Here's a picture of the panelists.  I really look forward to updating you on all the great people I meet and also the ways we can all empower ourselves.  - Loraine
