From a FB post, without naming the person in this more public forum, regarding a person being found who'd been lost in a fast-flowing river almost a week later after the person's car had gone off the road (and was found without the person in it.)
I am thankful with the rest of the community that we can all take time to continue to send love and support to this family now that their loved one has been found. 
 
May they have ongoing efforts to help them heal and remember the steadfast efforts, love and care of special person from Massachusetts over their (singular) amazing lifetime as a family

Some Towns Will Have their Legal Counsel Follow Up on Abuse Allegations against a Town Employee

Without spelling out the name of a town and person under investigation, word is out that one town will seek input from persons who had concerns over the years (decades) about a town employee who allegedly violated a number of young people. Here is a set of comments I shared with others about that news...

Great follow up and as hard as it is to not want revenge for such actions..I've leaned into the notion that "vengeance is the Lord's...' and basically the tough love in the universe doesn't mess around.

See more info about this historic time where the US House of Representatives have passed Resolution 72 to prioritize the safety of children in alleged abuse custody battles. That's a mouthful but something we could shout from the mountain tops.

Thanks to those who crafted and advocated for the action literally from sea to shining sea (CA to DC) and many states in between over a few years.

Monday, October 1st...has a nice ring to it (and I've blogged about this month as a way to start new community and home care efforts, some inspired by Karen Kisslinger, and many great parts of my life such as being in a big family, having a regular faith group and friends to share life with in meaningful ways. I have also gained inspiration from Steiner schools, ,small town schools and networking and larger towns and cities too.

Today would have been my friend Karen Kisslinger's birthday.

At  a recent Out of Darkness Walk in GB Mass, this post shares that there was a lot of positive energy to address the difficult matter of people wanting to end their own lives (or doing so), and leaving family, friends and others in challenging waters. These folks stand for many farther from the Mass. location they raised awareness and showed support for one another at in Great Barrington. 

Here's to their courage and compassion...and knowing we'll benefit here in CT and in nearby NY with such efforts.
