Paypal Donating $530 Million to Black Communities, Hooray!

on Fri, 06/12/2020 - 19:49

When I was checking my Paypal.com link I found this great announcement. Things really may be taking off in a positive direction with the idea of people Stepping Up and Saying What Is Desired (in sync with the greater good not greed.)

I will get back to what I was looking into and realize that some purchases under 100 dollars are not eligible for the 6 months of interest free credit, oops! Best not to use that Paypal Credit for small purchases or donations.

Well hopefully some of the interest I paid (less than a hundred but still much more than I expected...) will go to the good causes.

This photo is one I've had up since the inception of this page....It was taken at the CT Capitol in Hartford. I had just had a birthday a couple days prior...and had gotten a hug from our teen son Kaelan Palmer Paton who I wasn't able to see for a few years (a very unfortunate set of events that sadly occur far too often not only for no good reason but actually for 'warning sign bad' reasons..
 
That's another set of topics I cover in part on Livfully.org.) So consider if you possibly can, being separated from one or more of your kids for a few years then having one of them pass away

A Soccer Travesty, A Traffic Snaffew, And Other Everyday Not Forgotten Hard Times (and Crimes)

I responded to a post on Linked In about a police man being protected by a group of protestors. I think the policeman was white and the protectors were black also, linking arms, God bless them.

Keeping the Activism and Energy for Healing Our Society Strong

o the Editor;
In the midst of adjusting to COVID19 recently, I asked for people to reflect on their lives and consider anew, "What does it mean to you and to us to Live Fully?"
 
That seems a luxury now, so let US All consider, what does it mean to live with compassion for one another in light of the #BlackLivesMatter movement reignited by the tragic turn of events and loss of yet another person to police and systemic injustice and criminal behavior thankfully captured on video for all the world to see?
 
 Joining with the peaceful protestors, our country can take a collective moment of silence
