Guess who got to join in the festivities of the 50th Anniversary of Nutmeg Ballet by seeing their latest production of the The Nutcracker?

Yes, that would be me along with a few friends (some I found 'by chance' sitting near me) so catching up on how everyone was doing was a bonus and brainstorming ways to improve the world for our modern times happened for yet another 'coincidental reason'. I'll share more about that, but back to the Brilliant Ballet. Incredible talent and a refreshing set and portrayals shone in a delightful way.

Not agreeing with someone is legal and reasonable even if it hurts someone's feelings.

How much Improvement Do we need or want? Are there any choices left to make?

https://youtu.be/tAGeN5lrxws is an important talk, skim thru and consider the 'sci-fi' world that's basically coming down the pike...We need more grassroots think tanks, more faith and social consideration...and FB shares etc...

When a Protective Mom Was Arrested When Having A Seizure in PA and Other Concerns for All to Learn About

While we have more advocacy to help prevent drug use and abuse (often one leads to the other by the way...), the family custody court crimes and conflicts generally fall short of the radar.
