Getting More Online Networking Going About Sending Kids to Camp and Planning Their Lives for Shared Success (Families and communities growing together!)

on Sun, 05/14/2023 - 16:22

First things first....That means many things to different people. I want to ask for 'prayers and healing' and encourage everyone to picture themselves and all in their families and circles as well and feeling good about their path, meeting friends to help do things and stay strong. Then the burdens and 'dis-ease' can slip away and energetically we are all filled with light and goodness.

Thanks for sharing in this moment and 'allowing the flow and connection with all that is nurturing to flow in you and your networks...for a few moments, minutes, as you enjoy time outdoors and look up to see

Greetings to All on Mother's Day (and My 60th Birthday!) I'm going like 60 now!

A 'Big fish/Little fish mural in NYC) popped up on my FB memory so I shared that and this post with my friends... and brings lots to mind for me..how about for you? It's my 60th Birthday today, May 14th, 2023--and for fun especially on this Mother's Day let me share my birthday with you and remember the gift of life we've each been given...and hope our mother's (and fathers and caregivers) are at peace with how that came about and the effort given by many to help raise (or rear) each and everyone of us.

A couple of stories about my beginning days as part of a large family are some of the first

Maternity/ Abortion Concerns from Aug 2022, Debated But Key for All to Learn About

There was a report in The Lakeville Journal from Nuvance which runs Sharon Hospital giving the impression that the maternity ward was definitely closing. There is much more online now about what has happened in terms of many advocating for it to stay open and also keep ICU and other key services.
 
 Some fear this was  'the beginning of the end' of the medical services provided if there is not a way to maintain a strong foothold on the legacy and terms of Sharon Hospital as shared over the years...promises that changed from one for-profit to the next even as upgrades were made in some

To the Editor (July 2017, so ten years after the disappearance of Tom Drew of Salisbury CT on July 21, 2007)

 Even children know the story as well they should.

To The Editor:
 
With the season of harvest and Halloween prompting Trick/Trunk-Or-Treats, costume parades, parties, and walks at dusk and in the dark, traditions spread, mainly bringing joy but not preventing all risks.
 
Costumes and events dreamed up and pieced together over weeks or days help kids, teens and plenty of grown-ups step into the realm of the playful, wild and woolly. 
 
Hopefully the result is big fun and a sense of friendship. It's a time also to reflect on ancestors and life from over the decades.
