Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

Featured Guest:

1. Joyce Johnson Rouse, known as Earth Mama, a name given her by children for her children's songs on being good stewards of the Earth.  Women's Spaces has played many of Earth Mama's songs over the years and is proud to present this interview. Joyce Rouse was inspired by her high school biology teacher and the first Earth Day in 1970 to dedicate her life to spreading Earth care and Ecology with the power of music.  Joyce reminds us that the Suffragists used songs to empower their movement to achieve the women's right to vote.  Her song, Standing on the Shoulders, was included in a new album called Songs of the Suffragists, featured just after Helen Reddy's I Am Woman and Aretha Franklin's Respect. Joyce just releases a new Earth Mama album called HerStory, from which we play 3 songs  during this show, including a new release of Standing on the Shoulders.  Listen in on this uplifting interview with Earth Mama.

About our Guest: Joyce Johnson Rouse was born on an Iowa farm, near Cresco, and from the time her tiny little toes dug into the rich dirt of a cornfield, passion began to sprout.
The seeds of her passion were fertilized by her family; by teachers who invited her to use music to encompass and explore ideas from all disciplines; by experiences in 4-H, at summer camps, and in the meadows and streams of her family farm; at college, where her understanding was pushed to a higher level; and in communities of locality and faith.
Joyce’s young passion grew during her years in Nashville. Her work there strengthened her skills of songwriting and communication, and her advanced degree in science and environment became a trellis for the climbing tendrils of her beliefs.
The fruits of her efforts are the “Earth Mama” programs that use earth wisdom, music, and laughter to spread the message that the earth is a “Mama” for all of us. These programs are enjoyed by audiences of all ages and interests, twining together spirituality, education and entertainment, in celebration with the earth.
One of the most important aspects of Earth Mama’s work is the re-seeding that happens during her work with others: ideas are planted in the rich, fertile soil of our souls, music warms us like sunlight and spring, and humor is sprinkled on like a good, organic “tea” as she involves us all in her work to “help heal the planet, one song at a time.”
