Healing continues for shootings in Tucson
January 24, 2011
Our city of Tucson needs healing as does the whole country from the devastation of Jan. 8 on “Congress on the Corner” help by Gabrielle Giffords, congresswoman. She was an innocent and enthusiastic young woman who wanted to help people and hear her constituites ideas. She voted for the issues of district 8, not her party’s issues. She is a fair and caring person. How long will we remember this and honor what she was sacrificed for? I hope a long time. As she is in rehab in Houston, we are here with here memorial, acres long, in front of University Medical Center: it is tear jerking, deeply moving, beautiful, and honoring. It is filled with love. People are still milling around in it and crying as they read the letters and notes written to Gabby and the other people. It is a sad and beautiful thing to see. We need to remember so we can do something about what happened so that it does not happen again. People need to be kinder to one another ane more compassionate. There is no reason a gun with that capacity needs to be sold in this country. We are already working on better mental health for adults facilities and employing the law in Arizona that is little known; stating that when you see someone who is mentally unbalanced you can get them committed. Let’s publize the law and use it. It’s tough love at it’s best. Let’s not say we can’t do anything about it. Let’s DO something about it and any other issues you find wrong. Abuse, addiction, anger, rage, hatred, anxiety, depression, need to be replaced with love and hope and action. Sometimes tough action to save the innocent. Prayer, kindess, and action show real love. Parents need to be parents, not friends, to their children and have boundaries and discipline, and consequences for bad behavior. Relationships need to be repaired.
Tragedy the country should remember. ..shootings in Tucson
January 20, 2011
So quickly people forget and they should not forget the shootings in Tucson of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and many other people including the death of a fantastic little girl. Congress on the Corner was a unique happening and one of my clients almost went. It was a shock to us here and the saddest thing that has happened since 9/ll. The little girl who was shot was born on 9/ll. The political climate in the country has been one of intense anger, rage, abuse and the lowest of human behavior. This was not necessarily a political act by this deranged man but the general hateful climate set the stage. Perhaps this has shocked some people into feeling. And with feeling a knowing that name calling and making fun of people is abusive. Perhaps some healing will come out of this and the nation will be more cooperative and unified. It brought the whole city to prayer and caring. Love is what is the basis of life, not hatred. People can disagree with respect.
Happy 1-1-11
January 1, 2011
I am so delighted with the coming in of the new year. ..1-1-11. ..that I just had to write about it today. I am doing a lot of internal and external cleansing and changing this year. I feel very motivated and excited about it. I want to go deeper into my spiritual realm and prayer and meditation. I want to be more in touch and believing of my intuitive being and stand up for myself in that. I am determined to stay in a healthy family system and create love and happiness wherever possible. I refuse to be in any defensive behavior or argumentive style of living. There will be no abuse in my life; I will not tolerate it. Any anger will be “up and out” in seconds and no holding resentments. I will grieve as long as I need to for losses and not let anyone push me to speed up. No addictions are permitted in my life as they have not been for a long time. Love and laughter are top priorities for me
