Setting up housekeeping

Having become frustrated with the inability to get the new features on my old blog, I've decided to open a new one. At least for the time-being, this will be the new home of What's Left In My World.

As for the name of this blog, it has a dual meaning. First of all, knowledge and valor are vital for those who want to confront the violence, hatred and corruption of the modern world. Those with power depend upon the masses remaining as sheep--stupid and easily led. Those who seek to create a more just world must first resist this by educating themselves about the world in which they live, i.e gaining knowledge. But what does one do after gaining that knowledge? Is simply knowing the nature of the injustice enough? Of course not. After knowledge comes resistance. That's where the scary part begins. It's easier to close your eyes, to turn your head, to accept things as they are. It takes true valor to stand up and fight back.

That being said, this blog is also named for my children: Sophia and Valor. Sophia is Greek for female wisdom. She is the embodiment of Knowledge. Valor is bravery and honor. The drive to resist and stay strong in the face of great odds. My children are the motivation for my own resistance. They are the reminder of why closing my eyes will never be an option.
