I'd vote for you without question! It's a good time to clarify our values and beliefs, what we stand for...some, I guess, the bravest among us, might say, "what I'm willing to die for." I'd say I'd die for my kids, my grandkids. But what really matters to me? This I'll surely contemplate sooner after your welcome nudge (though you've done most of the work for me!
You took ALL of the words right out of my mouth. On every point- yes. Every single point. What a daunting challenge to educate some to just be kind, and reasonable, and caring, and honest. I fear that “we” are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over. I hate that I think that. I won’t give up.
You're a good heart, Candy. Always have been. Thank you. I think kindness is very powerful. Maybe we can't change the big picture, but we sure do have an impact on the people around us. That's big. I hope it's a good year despite it's difficulties. Hang in there! xo
A little bit of synchronicity - after putting myself out there yesterday, asking people to subscribe to my blog, I was standing still for a moment this morning, thinking - I will just need to continue to write what is kind and true in the best way I can, and know that not everything I say will please every person every time. And then I immediately went and read this - which felt like an affirmation of that thought. Put your self out there, say the truth that's important. Thanks for being a trail blazer for me _/\_ <3
Dear Sarah, I'm so glad you took the plunge! Thank you for supporting my writing and for all your gifts over the years. I think of you every morning, as you know. Proud to be a Sarah Nelson supporter! xox
I join the chorus of voters who would support you! Of course running for anything has become a nightmare but public service in any way is important for all of us to consider. What do we do with our convictions? What can we offer in our own communities? That's the next question! Thanks for putting out this clarity.
hi Susan, I wrestle with this constantly, especially as I get old(er) and have limited energy and other priorities to attend to before, well, before the end if you know what I'm sayin'! The kindness piece feels critical, a salve for our hurting souls. Powerful medicine, I think. Thanks for reading and writing back. Bar
I like that: the Humanity Party…Thank you, Carolyn.

May the new year be good to you and yours!
It was good for me to do that, Catharine. I actually feel better for doing it and for owning what I believe. I’m glad it helped you too. Thank you!
Well done
Thank you m, sweet man.

And then, I’ll just be dust in the wind.

Right on, sister.
OLA on the move....thank you. You're an inspiration.
You have my vote. Do you need a campaign manager? I'm affordable.
Wouldn't that be fun....or maybe not? Well, you and I would have a good time anyway. xo
