Nomad: Another view on the Middle East
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2011/02/another-view-on-middle-east.html
Wednesday, February 09, 2011. Another view on the Middle East. There is so much attention on the Middle East at the moment, with the now 3-week stand-off against Mubarak, with the Jordanian king releasing his entire government and appointing new people, with stirring protests in Yemen, and the Tunisians cheering that their chased-out leader is now being brought up on "crimes against Tunisia.". Here's what I also hear in my school (no sweeping generalizations here.just the women who work in my school!

Nomad: On the Arabian Gulf (not the Persian Gulf!)
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2009/08/it-has-been-four-months-since-i-last.html
Sunday, August 23, 2009. On the Arabian Gulf (not the Persian Gulf! It has been four months since I last wrote. I considered even giving up the blog for good. Not because I was uninspired, but because finding the time to write on it wasn't happening. But I am now in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and how can I not. So I arrived 6 days ago, to both pleasant and not-so-pleasant surprises. Yes, it's hot (100-115 degrees every day- day and night! Yes, it's "developing" rapidly- ie, construction everywhere!

Nomad: March 2009
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 25, 2009. What you don't know about your cell phone. It's now considered one of the deadliest wars.and yet not much is being done to address it. I had no idea that the woman who wrote that play was such an activist. But she is, and her message is extremely powerful. Stop raping our women. Violence against women CANNOT be normalized.and if we remain quiet, if we let the women be humiliated by their violations (instead of the men who did the raping! How do I bring together all of these bri...

Nomad: What's not being said
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2009/03/whats-not-being-said.html
Thursday, March 19, 2009. What's not being said. The Pope was all over the French newspapers this morning. The reason: He's in Africa (Cameroon) for the first time, and the message he's spreading is one which condems condom usage as an effective way to combat the AIDS pandemic on the continent. He says, "You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms"."on the contrary, it increases the problem.". Let me say that IF everybody was having sex within and only. To address both of these assumptions, I'm...

Nomad: November 2008
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 13, 2008. This, too, is Paris. EuroNews does a segment called "No Comment' where they just show video without commentary or explanation. It's really powerful. Occassionally uneventful (when you strip away all that we inject to create drama.). Photo taken by Jimmy Louchart of the blog Paris Environs. CC BY 2.0. Wednesday, November 12, 2008. It could be worse. Monday, November 10, 2008. C'est le premier fois que je les portes! I am proud.it's the first time I'm wearing them!

Nomad: October 2008
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 23, 2008. It doesn't look like much.a little yellow cardstock thing (which only looks big because of the angle and how close it is to my computer's camera! Sunday, October 19, 2008. An interesting road ahead. In Paris, if you ask nearly any ex-pat if they are friends with more French people or more foreigners, they will laugh aloud as if you asked the most assinine question possible. Foreigners. Bien sûr! So I find myself speaking more often in English than in French. Which is too b...

Nomad: May 2008
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2008. 30 A year of Balance. So I hope, anyhow, that 30 will be my year of balance. I say that only because I DO feel so balanced at this point of my life.and there's something profound about passing into this decade of my life. I know major changes will occur, I will have to make life-changing decisions, and Lord only knows where I'll be at the end of this decade! And what do you go into a relationship thinking? I think long-term in the short-term.when this is on uncertain terms? And so ...

Nomad: For a moment
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2010/10/for-moment.html
Friday, October 22, 2010. The strangest things touch us sometimes in the most unexpected ways. And then we find ourselves doing something with passion or excitement or sadness or reflection- and it was never even on the radar when we woke up and thought about our day. I like my last post (Aug. 29th? You almost made me cry. I love reading your blog. So much honesty and heart. I love and miss you! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2013/11/another-gap-exists-number-of-life-leaps.html
Monday, November 04, 2013. It's all about moving forward. As Obadyah would say, "just keep putting one foot in front of the other," and sometimes that is enough. I don't know where to start with new reflections, new topics to explore, new ideas worth writing about- much less sharing publicly. So this will be the start. And we'll see where it goes. If it goes.

Nomad: Random stuff from the week
http://amandagentine.blogspot.com/2010/10/random-stuff-from-week.html
Saturday, October 30, 2010. Random stuff from the week. She even broke the fence (top rail! And the next night I enjoyed a civilized and less physical game of mahjong. And the Ferari Theme Park opened 3 days ago. It has, of course, the world's fastest roller coaster. The Formula 1 race is next weekend, so. And last but not least, Jun. Ior and I went in search of a pumpkin yesterday. It looked more like a butternut squash, but we found some at the Fruit and Vegetable market. We spent 3 dollars on ...Paris...
