Hello You Fantabulous Fellow Human Beings (and Others Who May Be A work in progress!)

on Thu, 04/06/2023 - 04:13

What a special week this is turning out to be for many finding time to enjoy the warm weather, the start of gardening and doing tick checks especially if wrestling with the bittersweet and weeds! That can be an analogy for figuring things out in general, trying to do more things that one has been putting off. So now it's 'Show Time!' Fill out those taxes, renew the SNAP forms if needed (and know that there's a month grace period to keep sending in updated paperwork or reactivate the 'closed case'.)

With a few words a FB post on about a Grief Education Training and some on the support staff who pray for people was saying it seemed like exploitation at a time people were grieving...Here are my responses.
