I discovered your site www.theberkshireedge.com by going to the festive Business Expo held at Berkshire South and signing up. Thanks for an array of interesting and compassionate coverage of the events and people in the area. The more the MA/NY CT tri-corner area towns can support each other, the greater the chance people will stay and even move into the area. Sadly, we also need to learn from the challenges we face in terms of the changing demographics.

What's "Livfully" Blog All About? Cutting-Edge Ideas, Local and National Topics, and Creative Musings

on Wed, 03/18/2015 - 21:43

How can one blog address an array of topics, from the personal to the political, sometimes local and national to even global (and beyond..yes, talking about the nature of time, life, multiple lifetimes vs Yolo (you only live once) and questioning 'what happens in the great beyond').

Striking up a conversation on an important or even easy-does-it topic is not easy to do in person, and really few people have ways to meet folks 'outside their circle'. We all have some biases (and may be blinded to seeing in a more comprehensive manner by our biases).

This post was written before a showman lost his job over saying a certain woman of great renown looked like an ape actor...well, aren't we all related to primates on a certain level, and why not have such limits spelled out in one's contract? Better yet, why not ban most live TV from being AIRED immediately..make it someone's job to Bleep Out what is illegal especially when a program could likely go that way. Am I saying something NEW?

I don't think so and  I hope not.

What's Springing Up in Your Community, State, and Country this Spring 2015?

A  nice, smiling woman named Spring is pictured on billboards in the Great Barrington MA area as part of encouraging people to "Think Spring" when they want a mortgage at the local branches of the Salisbury Bank and Trust Co (based in CT). That made me think of how more people in advertising and the world are playing with words, to have tweak or expand their meanings to fit new ideas and enterprises.

1st things 1st: PLANS for Abused Women, Advocates and Leaders: Battered Mothers Custody Conference in May in Secaucus NJ

Take a deep breath and only read this if you are over 18 or get your parent's permission, okay? This is a difficult subject, well worth doing a school report on, but can bring up fear and concerns for most of America. I know I was shocked to learn such harm happens 'in all types of homes' (thankfully not all, but likely a large percent if sexual abuse of women holding at about 25% of all women having an assault of some kind in their life holds true to domestic abuse).

Review the info on the BMCC, www.batteredmotherscustodyconference.org and consider attending this even in mid May of 2015
