I am a retired hospice teacher, social worker, teacher, and fellow human traveler. Here to follow and learn where and how to respond sensibly and effectively without losing my kindness or heart. This is my work as an elder.

All that matters is that people come together to fight what is going on. Blaming, name calling etc- just perpetuates all the reasons we got to where we are. No prizes. I'm just grateful to anyone who wakes up and is ready to take action. I am focused on this present moment.

Today is a hard day. I've seen my retirement savings crash, watched programs dismantled, and my friends have lost jobs. People are terrified and suffering. Feeling the grief at what is happening to my country, community, and the earth is necessary before I again move into action.

I am reading, learning, finding my balance, and doing small things in my everyday life to support those working hard to move our country towards kindness and adhere to the rule of law. I may be quiet, but I am taking it in, taking baby steps that are growing into bigger ones. Gratitude to all.

I need to say it again. Schumer is a disgrace.

I live in DC without representation. But I am calling and writing - as a supporter of many of these Senators in the past, to express my concern and outrage at what the current administration is doing to all but the ultra-wealthy. Everyone needs to speak up.

The State of the Union Is up to Us | Opinion We must exploit the Trump administration's extreme overreachβ€”an overreach that is offensive to the vast majority of Americansβ€”conservative, liberals, and independents.

As the President addresses Congress tonight, some words about how We, The People can respond to this moment. The state of the union is up to usβ€”and we must work every day to both push back and move forward. Our team at @democracyforward.org will do just that. www.newsweek.com/state-union-...

Senator Cassidy has not lived up to his oath as a physician: To do no harm. As a Senator, he showed little spine. Deeply disapppointed.
