Hello, my name is Leffe. I will get you drunk…even though I don’t taste like your typical get you drunk beer. I am Belgian, I am blonde, and I am strong.

I taste good, try me sometime. Those damn monks in Belgium know what they are doing. Trust them.

We’ve forgotten who we are, because they have beaten it out of us, with religious, cultural, fear based lies. Remember who you WERE…The Mother, The Divine Feminine, The Divine Goddess, Gaia, Earth – worshiped and respected by ALL. Don’t let them fool you, and REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.

History…that was his forte. I met him over 10 years ago at a book signing he had at the Greek Church on Magazine St. in Cambridge, MA. He was a polite, soft spoken man, who spoke about his books the way he wrote them…with certainty and clarity. His United States history book is the only one that mattered to me after I read it, and it made those I had read before pointless. To this day, I still believe that this book should be mandatory reading in any history class, and though he left this world today, his words will live on in anyone who has read them, and will hopefully live on in those that are yet to read them.

When it was my turn to introduce myself, and hand over my copy of A People’s History of The United States for him to sign, he took my battered, split in 3 pieces bound with a rubber band book…gently held it for a few seconds while looking at it, then looked up at me, gave me the warmest smile and said – “Now this is what a well loved book should look like.”

Howard Zinn, you will be missed, but your wisdom will stay with us for the rest of our history.

Thank you.
