Difficult Post So Put Down Your Coffee. First Inspired by the Idea of Taming Some Misguided Pitbulls to play with kids as in "Pittie Nation", but then talking about taming abusers..hmmm

 I am sharing my response to a recent post from "Pittie Nation" about a family whose trained many pitbulls to be tame, some of whom had been mistreated and were aggresseive. An idea came to my mind --what about:'Taming  agrressive Pit bulls, Taming Abusers". Not to say Pit Bulls are any more aggressive than other dogs naturally, a few savvy friends and the video point out...People mistreating them or training them to be so is the cause of that. This post explores the general sense of nature vs nurture, causes and cures for abuse and...I'll refine more or add your comments.

When people don't have hope, things can take a downward spiral in a heart beat. When tragedy after tragedy hits a small town or even a small state, or a bigger one, the hurt can be overwhelming..a mix of shock, anger, despair, pain and confusion. Not an easy thing to come out of, like a life in a tailspin. But some programs are shedding light on ths bleak aspects of difficult dynamics involved in drug addiction..and alcohol is a drug yet is often given separate billing.

From a Faceook post, I learned that there are mounting concerns in our quiet rural northwest corner of Connecticut.

Kudos to the Yoga Teacher Graduates from YogaByCandace and Namaslay Training in Thailand..You Did It and None Too Soon!

 Having just seen an exciting show of The Little Mermaid with a thousand folks, including many starry eyed kids, get ready for many to find their niche in wonderful ventures and trainings...There was a fair amount of flying in the show but those doing yoga get into the zone while mostly on the ground.

I also saw a clip of Cirque Us who'll be at our local Berk-Cirque in Great Barrington MA. The yoga, movement, and dance people will be the healing leaders of tomorrow..Thanks for all you do from here to Thailand and many other places and thankfully, back again.

I read about the memories a fellow had of the Egremont  MA Carnival from long ago..before liability and regulations made it less possible to proceed...

That got me thinking back on the many years of Falls Village Carnival fun we had as kids (and kept checking in on as adults too, with fewer firetruck rides, but plenty of good memories to review and renew...)

 This post is about a 'Cornwall Story' which was recorded as part of their 275th celebration, which included a play at the Town Hall by the Grumbling Gryphons (with great clips on youtube and a summer camp that runs in early August) ,

to an interview transcript from July 2017. I was attending the rather

elaborate festivities in this small town 

not far from where I lived as a gal (with one of my best buddies

from my freshman year hailing from the town. While we compete

d in sports for a few years and had joined forces

for swim teams and a choral group as Falls Village and Cornwall

school kids, we really bonded during our soccer and track

experiences at Housatonic Valley Regional High School

back in the late 1970s...Those were some special times,
