Wishing you the ability to see the light and feel the love within. I don't imagine that many folks will see this blog entry, but the point is, I expressed it.

Hello!
If you don't have time to click the first link, here are a few local candidates I ask that you consider:
Gregg Knell : San Rafael

Civic engagement starts at home.
Be kind, stay safe.
Thank You,

I took a personal day to start the lengthy and emotionally charged task of going through and clearing out a large storage space. I notice how my things are now mixed in a box with my husband's, as if either of us has ever been not part of the other, as if any of us can be separated in this world. After all, we are all connected. Pardon me as I repeat myself.
After a day of many hand washings, I cross paths with his latest musical project. Name not revealed to protect the creative process and to prevent the vaporware syndrome. Best to just let it happen, you will find out about it when it is finished.
As for this election, I already voted. We voted together.
Yesterday, I found myself commenting on a thread of a distant cousin by marriage, after said cousin revealed she is Trump supporter. I was surprised, but not too surprised. It provided clarity on one thing and confusion on another. Her mom also commented. These are otherwise talented and pleasant people. Anyway, here is my comment:
If you are interested, here are my thoughts on the debate:
According to the online Oxford Dictionary the word politician has two definitions. I was only able to copy and paste one. However, I was able to screenshot both:
It didn’t take long for misinformation about President Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis to flood the internet. Here’s a look at what sorts of falsehoods are making the rounds, and what to expect next. https://t.co/wh2v7vPcyJ

When we see people doing wrong, we need to speak up.
Too often, wrongdoing is disguised as being "for your own good."
I find myself puzzled by this law that Governor Newsom just signed into law: SB 145.
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB145
If the intent of the law is to address cases where two people are close in age, then why not make that clear, and address the 10 year age gap?
How is a 14 year old of any gender or sexual orientation supposed to give consent to someone that is 10 years their senior? And we, as a society, absolve them of accountability?
We need to fix this "oversight."
Suffice it to say, civic engagement is necessary for laws that reflect the will of the people.
Contact your elected representatives, and let them know how you feel about this. I certainly will.
Enough of this absurdity.
Sincerely,
Mari

Synergy.
Teamwork.
Combination of the two, plus me and you.
Come on, folks, we can do this!
I hope you are feeling what I am feeling:
Energetic, not apathetic.
Cautiously optimistic.
Grateful for Kamala Harris' supportive parents and family. This is a moment in time to be celebrated, but now is when we get to work.
Thank you to everyone who donated to my campaign. I am planning to check the rules before I do anything with the funds. Current plan is to donate to the Biden/Harris effort and/or down ticket Democrats.
Ox,
Mari
