Spring or Other Season Great Time to Learn About and Play The Turtle Garden Permaculture Game (TGPG). Copyrighted of sorts by Catherine Palmer Paton

This is game I made as part of a Permaculture Basics Course. Draw a Game Board of a Turtle with 13 'spaces' on the shell, maybe from the center going out in  a spiral numbered 1 to 13. You play as you learn going from one space to the next as you read each 'card' (which one can print out on a sheet of paper or put on 13 cards or number 2 sets of cards (if two players or teams) with 1-13 and the letters on the opposite side such as 1/P, 2/E, 3/ R etc.

Marianne.com offers many cool ideas, but some touch topics may need fine tuning (forgiveness of killers and abusers...best not done in person)

My FB post on Marianne's FB page today, May 19, 2017 at the ripe age of 54 as of Mother's Day 2017). My condolences too to all involved in the Times Square tragedy of a miltary vet many high on pot laced with something ending the life of a young woman from Michigan and injuring about 20 others. May each be healed and the lovely young woman of 18 years be remembered as a heroine of a special sort, living her life and braving waking us all up to our mortality.

Following Where the Sidewalk (and Signs) Lead, and Not Breaking the Law by Parking Where there are "No Standing" Signs

I recalled finding myself on a night walk in a gentle rain over a year ago in New York. Why I went down one street and not another is fun to ponder. Maybe the street seemed wider and calmer when I try to hone in on my wandering ways between phone calls or finding my way home again after a 15-minute jaunt. I happened to see a piece of paper on the sidewalk, getting flattened by the rain but I thought to pick it up. Was it because there was a photo of Sri Chinmoy on it? I don't think there was but some flyers I've seen since have that.

It did announce a free meditation series once I peeled it

A Tribute to Diane Aluska, a Mom who died saving her Daughter's life, In NY on Mother's Day from a Car Fluke

Just when we think we realize the basic car safety to prevent accidents...like Not Speeding or Allowing People Who have 
Just One Drink, or Text or Distracted Whichever (handheld cell phone use and more). Well. this one is hard to believe and likely needs a little more explanation about what caused the car  of an elderly woman to 'jump the curb' and almost hit a teen named Jenna. Her mom, Diane, quickly moved her daughter out of the way successfully yet became pinned under the car and died of her injuries.
