Monday March 14th: Spring?

Sometimes it suffices just to say ‘Good Morning. Have a great day!’ I think today is one of those days. We just got hit with a couple days of cold and snow.. brrrr. I’m cool with it because even though my big dog Fred is dealing with his diagnosis, the sight, feel ( and taste ) of the snow seems to invigorate him. I love it! So much is happening right now. At the Restorative Justice Initiative we have schedules to keep for the upcoming projects and events that will soon begin taking place. I am even being given more responsibility and chances to learn . It is hectic but it is GREAT! Spring Break is over today and the students will be back bringing their energy, curiosities and laughter back to the environment. Both here on campus and where Fred and I live and travel. This month brings me closer to the end of my trips to the CC Center at Johnstown. That will be somewhat of a relief yet will still be bitter-sweet considering I still have yet to convince anyone in a position of power and authority or compassion? to begin feeding and providing essentials to these men and women ReEntrants who are sent to these Centers to live while they transition back into our Society. How can they expect to do that when for the first days or weeks of this transition they have to wonder and worry about things like food, clothes, toilet paper and the necessary information that will help them move about in that checks & balanced & I.D. laden world. It’s a shame. We need to do something. We talk about the push to assist those reentering Society. The so-called ‘ReEntrants’. Yet what about the basic requirements of Food, housing, and Training? When is that going to happen? Well…I leave them for the last time in two weeks to move into the ‘parole’ phase of my own transition. But I WONT ever leave from doing what I can to make Restorative Justice more than just a phrase on people’s lips. We’ve all got to help make it real across the board. Yes…March is going to be an eventful month. And then…God is going to grant us something just as fantastic. APRIL! Ho Ho…more opportunity to do what we need to do to usher in this Beautiful Community that we’re working to achieve. We start with ourselves. First. Then we reach out and touch someone else’s life with our blessing. We welcome them to this Grand Rising that we give praise and thanks for with our energy, strength and love. Good Morning to you beloved. How are you going to greet this day?🌞💯
