Lots of people wonder "What is the Livfully.org Blog all about?"

I ask myself that too but mainly I explore possiblities and share what I've learned in the last 6 decades (and heard about what happened before I began this life journey in the "Many Connect" MA/NY CT area as part of a large family in a small town (as my Vassar application essay began).

That was in the early 1980s which feels like long-ago, almost childhood, history to most in my class (which includes Lisa K who played Phoebe on Friends--google if you can't recall her last name...and many other talented, illustrious and

From an email with a request 'to share' at the end. These tragic losses of two sisters at the hand of their biological father who also took his own life happened in Colorado in early Dec. 2022. When looking online for other details, more cases of gun violence emerged (from Atlanta where unruly teens shot two boys who died.One mother had reported her own teen as violent but was told by police they could not intervene.

There are many issues to address, even in places with curfews and some security.

As we reverently recount the loss of lives a decade ago at Sandy Hook, we are facing a terrible problem protecting victims even when victims or their families clearly seek legal help. Tragically that includes the loss of 11- month -old Camilla Francisquini on Nov. 25th and a mother of a 3-year-old son, Julie Minogue, age 40, on Dec.7th, 2022, even since the passing of Jennifers' Law in CT to protect victims with their children in custody cases.

I've been reading online about adoption in the US and with mandates from the Hague Convention in 2008, and overall the number of adoptions have gone from 175K in 1970 to more like 125K in years since. With all that our world and country is facing, the focus on what each child is going through (and the whole realm of IVF with frozen embryos) and more could be discussed more widely. There are no guarantees with how a pregnancy or health of a birth mother will go.

Then of course there is the care and often custody matters for rearing a child.

 The following is what I shared on an online forum about the recent tragic passing of the lovely young person, Athena Strand, who is a hero for our times to herald the cause of what children and other vulnerable people are facing, more than most,  but of course anyone can be a victim of an attack by an unstable person or even random more accidental situation.
