Showing Support for One Another Over the Decades, Especially in Later Years, at home and on the road

 In case you are an person coming into your later 50s or early 60s or beyond  check out a helpful website on CT Senior Law, www.czepigalaw.com. They cover many helpful points about aging (the nuts and bolts of how to be prepared for various challenges and changes, legal ins and outs and reasons to have a consult with an elder law attorney, ideally someone versed in medicaid or Title 19 as well.) People are living longer, and some say 120 will be the new 90.

In the course of learning about the miserable uphill battles many protective parents, generally mothers, may face in gaining custody of their minor children face, I attended the Battered Mothers Custody Conference a few times in the past decade.

The need to know more about mental health and safety in relationships of all kinds is clear if not dire.

Thank you for sharing this

. It is a reminder to everyone to be more careful with where they are going and with whom in general. There are many theories about 'why terrible stuff happens' beyond what we hear in the basic public forum... and even how we can know.

Psychics may have some insights and then there is the overall theories of Edgar Cayce and many other traditions that pose that we have many lifetimes and ways to 'craft our life lessons and journeys' beyond what we may be conscious of when we are living them.

.A quick shout out to people playing music in the subways (some from NYC sponsored musicians)  which warms the experience of hustle and bustle. Sometimes I dance along.  I have time to chat with the musicians a bit and really feel we could do more to support their efforts. Hundreds of people streaming by and even pitching them funds doesn't necessarily add up to what they need for rent! Maybe more patreon.com accounts could be orchestrated for those showing up and sharing their talents. 

Meanwhile the lovely annual event to appreciate the life long work of Sri Chinmoy which  I learned about
