Today is a day to embrace this fact: love is greater than fear. This image of writer Margery Wells Steer, at age 89, still writing for peace after living through two world wars. For inspiration in verse, read her book, The View in Winter.

For inspiration to turn the page from ugliness to action, DO SOMETHING to elect Kamala Harris, go to youtube for Michelle Obama's speech in Kalamazoo yesterday!

If you need more reasons to believe in democracy and the Harris-Walz ticket, read this. We're living through a huge change in the way information is shared and manipulated, and HCR once again unbundles the impact that has on previously trusted media and the currently confused populace. Please give money, time and heart to preserve our democracy and ensure we decisively elect the prosecutor, not the felon.

Hurricane Milton made landfall yesterday evening as a Category 3 storm just south of Sarasota, Florida.

This heartening look back at the foundations of our democracy gives me great hope and confidence that we, the people, will not allow tyranny and lies to prevail now or ever. Read, heed, and get out the vote!🙏☮

Today our country gained a new citizen for whom we are deeply grateful. Marilyn came into our lives on April 6, 2020 as the pandemic had just begun and our dear Gloria, widowed and almost 90, fell ill. Over the next three and a half years she served as beloved helper and skilled companion and today she achieved her dream of citizenship. So grateful.

History shows us that this moment is not unique, and it's up to us to stand for democracy. Read, act, vote.

Just a week ago, it seems, a new America began.

If you're reeling from last night's onslaught of lies and bravado, there's a name for what the former occupant did to dominate the stage --it's a gaslighting technique called "The Gish Technique." Meanwhile, our president did his best to relay the facts.

Read below to understand the real problem. We can't let media pundits dismay us, Biden is doing government honestly and well; this alternative candidate will take us down with our democracy.

Stay strong. Get out the vote. Media pundits, call out the lies and report the facts, please.

Celebrating 34 in so many ways . . . Last Thursday, 12 jurors bravely found a path to justice for someone who claimed to be above the law.

34 years ago today, Paul and I vowed to love and respect each other regardless of the ups and downs, disagreements and distractions, our mutual perfectionism that seemed in sync at times, other times not so much . . .

Folks, that's life. We don't always agree. But if we keep the faith and work to bridge our gaps by honoring our own and other's vulnerabilities, foibles, and rights -- well, it's a beautiful life. I am blessed and grateful. Onward to world peace by 2030.

Did you know that Mothers' Day originally placed the apostrophe after the "s" and was conceived by Julia Ward Howe as encouragement for a movement to resolve conflicts peacefully by placing women in power?
