Great suggestions! The rendition of "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)," gave me chills....heartfelt and beautiful arrangement.
When is the next "No King Rally"?
@lovendures I am trying.... Lord knows I am. TBS? Sometimes the pain and suffering I see right here in my own county and the hatefulness and glee of the MAGA in our area.... the emotional pain and helplessness I feel coming from our communities is sooo overwhelming it's hard to breathe. Barry Loudermilk, our GQP Rep...locked his doors and turned off his phones from all of us constituents who kept trying to contact him and continue to cry out against what is happening here in our communities. We have formed an ICE app that allows us to alert when "conditions are ICY at such and such road " etc. Being an Empath it can be overwhelming... the despair and fear. I am doing all I can ... and sending Love , Light and Reiki to all I feel suffering. I do thank you for your response and your suggestions. Keep us in your prayers.... Barbara Kingsolver is one of my favorite authors ..both fiction and non-fiction and I found this article on her to be a Joy and Inspiration.. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/jul/05/the-damage-is-terrifying-barbara-kingsolver-on-trump-rural-america-and-the-recovery-home-funded-by-her-hit-novel
I am just going to generally request emotional and physical support. I am also going to ask for help diverting any petty disagreements to vanish.
I am also a bit perturbed that this bill was passed and no one has relly reported on what is in it.
Couldn't it be unconstitutional if you pass a law when no one knows the details and the press has not reported comprehensively on it? I don't think that even any established or alternative news has truly broken it down yet, as well as the timeline for when these rules and regulations. How could we even contact our representatives to discuss what we do or do not support? Could it actually be challenged?

No, it's not unconstitutional (if that even means anything anymore). It's been done many times, including just after 9/11 when the bill was passed creating Homeland Security (most Congress critters had no idea what they were passing) and then again in 2008 in the bank bailout, when Nancy Pelosi famously said (on the record and on TV), "We have to pass it to see what's in it!
I would appreciate any spurts of energy tomorrow morning as I have my knee replaced. Participants in the Circle of Light sent a boost the other day but as I am nervous, I could use a little extra. Many thanks
@raincloud All good energy to you for your knee replacement! Smooth surgery and recovery energy to you. As they all say, do your PT and you will recover well! :) My husband had his knee replaced about 6 years ago (he is young for it, but had an injury years ago that led to bad arthritis.) He is getting a hip replaced next month. You can do this! And it will feel so much better upon recovery. He noticed the lack of arthritis pain almost right away. Good luck!
May your surgery go well and may it been a positive and healing experience. May your surgeons hands be guided and may it all be a blessing.
May everyone heal.
