When a Kids' Lemonade Stand and Stoop Sale Doesn't Go Over Well With Some Folks in Brooklyn NY, Who Cares?

There are forums where all sorts of issues can be discussed for parents and caregivers in an area. On one such online group that serves about 4K people, a conflict that occurred drew 25 responses, mainly supportive. In a nutshell, a mom and a pregnant friend had a stoop sale on a block that seemed user-friendly and was within the customs they had practiced earlier in life.

Their kids set up a small lemonade stand and most folks enjoyed stopping by the stand and stoop sale. But not everyone. Someone in the building whose lawn was being used complained from on high, and then in person.

With reverence for losses that took place on December 14, 2012 in CT and the many that have happened across the United States with 'clear and convincing evidence' and far less attention or support for the families affected (as I learned at a CT Peace Conference), we can take a moment of silence and light a candle of hiope and faith that we all will brave the thinking, caring, inquiring and learning whether online or in our discussions to address any wrong doing, deception, or confusion or not understanding the bigger picture.

 I was fishing round the radio and went to about 10 stations after hearing some nice Hispanic music. I landed at NPR with the DemocracyNow.org commentator, Amy Goodman, with Juan Gonzalez interviewing Oscar Lopez Rivera who'd been released from decades in jail, many of those years in solitary. "Yikes!" I thought,"I can't miss this." I learned a lot in a  short period of time.

Hi, (to one Reiki trainer but also to people of faith and humanists, parents, teachers and people the world over... Thanks for sharing your gifts for healing with thee world. Have you heard of The Reconnection? Those 
'newer frequencies' are supposed to be 'even more encompassing than Reiki...' I think the large numbers of Reiki folks could readily accept the Possibility of the RC frequencies.
 
 If more 'alternative therapy' people join together maybe the world at large will allow for more 'lay people empowerment' and the leaders will come along more readily.

Celebrating summer and ways to win.

Yet whitewater trapped three boys.
Kaelan hand-signalled "9-1-1" amidst loud noise.
