Out of the mouths of babes..or 5-year-old observation about life and death...

"If you have a dog and a cat in the same house, in a single house, and the dog kills the cat, that's not good." While one young person (in earth years) can observe some real life dog and cat interactions and see that a dog who nips and chases a small cat about could theoretically if not actually end the cat's life (of "kill the cat"), many people would want to let that be a simple fact of nature or in civilized countries trust that if the dog were trained basically that would not happen.

What might this indicate for your average two people in a home, sharing a space as friends, housemates or

A few local and regional MA/NY CT people made a valiant effort with others across the nation and from 
abroad to attend a recent remarkable national conference. The BMCC is now online for leaders and the public to  
reframe the epidemic of Coercive Control and Domestic Violence and Abuse.

The 11th Battered Mothers Custody Conference (BMCC) drew experts such as Barry Goldstein, Evan Stark and Wendy Murphy.
Other reformers and advocates included as Rose Garrity who leads the board of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) and works with the National Organization for Men Against

With a conference to attend, I braved getting myself on the Metro-North to the Big Apple (where people live Applely-Ever-After in their own a-maze-sing ways in the subways--shout out to my new wheelchair-bound friend who needs good housing for the winter. Please comment here on how we can work together this awesome fellow whose got spinal stenosis and sang to me and others the John Denver song one friend in their 20s didn't recall ever hearing, '"Sunshine on my shoulder, makes me happy..."

That was on May13th, a birthday day for one friend who I got to visit with a few days earlier.

Watch for Abuse in every season...and practice prevention (even in your mind)

living situations people in their homes and communities face. The secrets can be hard to comprehend, the laws and courts
or programs to intervene or punish out of whack (often revictimizing women, moms and kids..and IF there are cases of 
adult males being abused, they also can lose out..but the majority of real harm and control of a family falls to the male
perpetrators in a state and country..and the reality of courts is that they allow for that in custody cases all too often.

Yes, you may say, "Yes" to MAY--Miracles for All of Us, Yes!

This year I was able to enjoy not only May Day and a pep rally complete with full moon, bon fire, drumming and outdoor band of youth grades 7-12 with their families and cook-out all enlivening the spirits of young and old...but got to wish someone close to me a Happy 50th and enjoy my own Special Day for 51 Year-Olds on this date, 5-1.

In the MA Shoppers Guide online, I will run an  ad for 5-7 and 5-14 to wish folks well (especially Moms who are keen on helping each other but they are an example for US-all).

In addition to the title of this post, I wrote up on a piece of paper as I have for
