Notes from Kaelan Palmer Paton's 3rd grade notebook, 2004

While I am finding it a bit stressful to figure out how to back up this Livfully.org blog so I don't lose all of this work due to an upgrade in software that Bluehost.com informed me will happen in two weeks, I found this notebook of our late son's writing that I had tucked away. I opened to the page about Family, so felt he was letting me know that is the kind of coaching I needed which we were blessed to share for 16 years with him (and now over a few decades of being parents and family to such a wonderful group of kids in our big family and circles of friends.)

We're on a human family journey too and taking time to jot down 'how it's going' can be a great way to help each other tune in and even tune up! If you'd like to make a donation to support these efforts especially at this time when a fee to switch the posts from Drupal to a Wordpress compatible format to be backed up safely Before the changes are made at Bluehost.com that'd be great. About $500 is needed for that with someone from Fivrr.com doing the work primarily.

 Many of the posts I share are not just my writing but comments on others work and some postings that may not fit switching them all over to medium.com/@livfully. I would be able to keep the Livfully.org domain if the posts were switched to the wordpress. I am exploring options

. I have invested about $500 in having this blog so far and about 5K in other programs which inform a lot of the subjects I cover on caring for people, community networking, advocacy for safety and well-being and lots more not covered in the corporate-owned media in these important times. In addition having had the loss of our teen son in 2009, there is a lot of advocacy for parents and others to make time to be with their children and teens and even adult offspring since every day really does count.

Hopefully people can be in touch with loved ones online and talk monthly if not weekly and even visit in person as much as possible. That is particularly true if there are minors and if there are conflicts and concerns

Having more training for all of a community to understand the basic safety and care needs of each child and youth as well as family member can be a great investment in helping people get the support they need and even accountability in place to deter people of any age from 'going out of bounds.' Let's think of the ways of playing the game of life as a team sport with friendly coaches, team mates, support folks and referees...and shared understanding of game rules to make it as rewarding for all.

Best to all and thanks for donations of any amount and for sharing the posts. Paypal.me/CathPalmPaton or use cppaton@yahoo.com for paypal transfer as well. I do not charge others to list ideas and programs. You can send me some info or stories to post from kids or others too to that email as well. Best to all in this important month. Let's make it the #2020BestOctoverEver
