The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Your courage Me Ra is so encouraging- continuing to keep your power in situations that try to render you powerless, inspiring with your honesty, and your continued strength and will to keep moving forward in spite of situations that try to set you back. It's a nice reminder to know that those old feelings and dark places no longer belong, they have been worked through and they no longer have a home within you. I will continue to pray that there is a white light of love and strength that surrounds you~p.s.

My heart immediately did a flip inside of me as I thought of how wonderful it would be to win a scholarship program like this. However, since that first viewing of the SOAR program, I have been second-guessing my ability to enter and had just about convinced myself that I could not enter.However, after reading the blog you posted on this day, December 18th, my eyes filled with tears and I decided then and there to just close my eyes and take the leap. Your words of encouragement have inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and take a step toward fulfilling my Life-Dream.Our family had a serious tragedy in December of 2005, when we lost our only beloved son in a tragic car accident. Together with the police department, detectives, hundreds of family & friends, helicopters and the California Highway Patrol, we searched frantically for our son...He left for work early on the stormy morning of December 2...but never arrived. It was CalTrans Highway workers that found pieces of the blue Camaro leading down a ravine, (they had been given one of the missing posters by one of the detectives on the case) The workers called the detective and we were nearby searching through the foothills along highway 49...it took hours for a dive team to hook up the car and pull what was left of it out of the water. The highway patrol told us that Our son had fallen asleep at the wheel, and barely missed the guard rail, gone down the ravine, hit a large oak tree and the car went on to the bottom and was submerged under 8 feet of water. That is why the aerial searches by helicopter could not locate the car....Four long days of searching led to such a heart-rending find...Our lives...our family...our hearts were shattered in a million pieces...Since then, I have struggled just to make it through each and every day - just to breathe has taken great effort at times...but after reading your words of encouragement, I have found the courage to try and live again...in honor of my son's zest for life and for my beautiful daughter so she can have her mother back, and for my wonderful husband, who deserves to have back the same wife he married 26 years ago...Thank you for reaching out to other women, for offering words of advice and encouragement....for offering the SOAR scholarship program...your words have changed my life!Sincerley, Susan Reynolds Dear Me Ra,

Keep that light lit. Today is the day of the Solstice. The light is returning, it is a time of turning, finding confidence, remembering who we are and what matters, really matters. On this day, we join you - we're imagining a circle of women joining you - and each of us loving and affirming the wise woman in you and in each other. Ohhh, that feels good.Know what? You ARE the wise feminine leaders we've been waiting for....and through taking exquisite photographs and building highly successful and sustainable businesses you are creating the world you want to leave for our children and their children. With deep respect, Karen and Fay Me Ra,

The vulnerability it takes to share on this level really shows how honest and pure your heart is towards empowering women. That is what resonates with me about you...and I am grateful to connect with you even on this level. Your voice is strong and impactful because you are authentic. Thank you. Me Ra,

I am afraid to leap. The voices are talking to me!I know what you mean about the little voices...and thank you for sharing your story of your horrible experience at the gym. I can't imagine what you must have felt. Your husband is right, you didn't invite it. It was not your fault or anything you did wrong. I wish I could encourage you they way you encourage me when I come to visit your blog :) I feel so uplifted when I leave. I close my eyes and tell myself I am worthey! Then...I let,after a day or two, those little voices creep in. I was so excited about Soar when I first read about it! I thought here is my chance, This is my calling!(I had been feeling for sometime) I can do this!!! I watched some of the videos from the entries. I saw all the other ladies and told myself "they" are more worthey than I.(those little voices!!! ha-ha) I had just let the whole idea escape my mind. I guess I had decided to just let the deadline pass and not to enter. But after reading your story and thinking of some other things that brought me to your blog, and that I had met one of the fabulous mothers in one of your interview(we are not so far away and actually know some of the same people), and other weird coincedenses that have happened to me. I have decided to think that it is meant to be, win or lose. I should enter.By the way, I saw an eagle on my way home the other day(Friday the 18th) in a corn field here in Southern Illinois. I Have NEVER seen an eagle in my life in the wild open spaces. Let alone here in Clay County. I went home and got my camera, it was still there. I have pictures!...and...after reading your story last night, it hit me...that eagle was my sign! I am suppose to SOAR like that eagle! I know, go ahead and laugh..he-he..I told my husband this and he just smiled...I think he thinks I am crazy too! ha-ha...I don't have a video camera. My son has a flip camera. I am going to try to make a video today...thanks for all the encouragement you give to all us ladies(and men) to pursue our dreams! "I am worthey! I am worthey! Iam worthey!!!"God bless you and your family this holiday season and always! Me Ra,

When I was fourteen I went to burger king across from school by myself before having to go back to school for some club and someone has exposed himself to me then -- I remember being so shocked and offended and horrified that I ran back to school crying the whole way. I never told anyone. You were good to go to the desk, to call the police and to report him.There is good and bad in this world, and MeRa, you are SO GOOD. I think thats why so many people are drawn to you. You have had bad things happen to you and you have delt with more that you should have had to. You have had people work against you and after all that, you're still GOOD.How could they have not believed you? YOU were a witness, isn't that enough? And the evidence on the equipment, isn't THAT evidence enough? How horrible - that makes me so mad.Yes, the voices drive me crazy. "Get over it and move on" is my loudest voice. But when my passion and love for photography is so srtong, I can't let it go. When another voice kicks in and says "Your life is something you only get to do once, go for what will make your heart soar."
