Considering that many of the rioters are military folks, I think it's crazy, CRAZY (!), for Biden/Harris to do a live inauguration. That's my feeling.

I am on Nextdoor and there is a big mix of folks, some not so like-minded with my progressive leanings. I have seen lots of support when there are fires, accidents, lost pets and that has been very...

Well, here we have it. All things change!
Barry, I recall the beginning when you helped me figure out how to use this site!
And all the ways you so beautifully brought so much heart to this ongoing...

Great idea! let's hope there's some rain to collect; I believe that's part of the problem. May there be abundant rain to collect.

The county is recommending people don't water down their homes because it takes water supply away from firefighters. That's what I saw in news...simply sharing and I imagine some might have a...

I entirely got rid of mice with peppermint oil! They apparently hate the smell. Ever since I put it out on the counters on cotton pads, no mice. I don't know about rats.

Two dear local friends got it, one very severely and they have lingering side effects; their descriptions of the experience is way beyond any flu I've ever had; there's a kind of malevolent presence...

Me too! Usually I am usually a wreck with hay fever in June...but this month, almost nothing. Unusual. I was wondering if it might have something to do with less humans moving about on our...

Ohhhhh thank you Gaiasophia! I signed up!! Been wanting to take NVC for a long time...what a timely moment to take it, no doubt will enhance what I already know...will use in my anti-racism work and...

Thanks for your response Barry. I understand what you are saying here. But, there is still so little known about this virus, and the safety precaution suggestions are changing all the time. So I...

I finally got up my courage and went for a walk with a friend the other day. I've been strictly sheltered in place since end of February. I wore my mask and my friend did too, until we were well on...

Every night at 8, in our animal selves, with wolf wisdom guiding us.

We are the wolf pack, strong and connected!

So deeply grateful for community, for the 8 pm connection of sounds that weave through the trees and the hills...some nights we have bells and conch shells joining in symphony with our human animal...

Curious which wildlife is being freaked out by the howling? I had one evening where I opened my front door to join in and started the howl even before the door was completely open...when I looked...

Thanks so very much Goat Rock Ukelele for sharing these graphs and keeping us informed in this very clear way. I am sending you many appreciations...your sharing is helping me keep myself positioned,...

Really appreciate your comparison and conclusion here! I so often hear folks wonder why we are continuing to have such strict shelter in place orders since we are doing so well! Obvious to me this is...

Agreed about Dr Mase...she has done a wonderful job and I am thankful. I really hope people can recognize this and think collectively and with gratitude instead of go into an individualistic...

Cannot resist sharing this!

This is a potent video of Italians talking about what they wish they had known ten days ago. We must take this seriously! I have taken my therapy practice out of my office and am doing it online and...

Beautiful video by Trudy Goodman from Insight LA! Lovely reminder of our community sensibilities at this time, using the practice of mindfulness.

Dear Dancers…
Be sure to set your clocks ahead 1 hour before you rest your head for sleep this coming Saturday night, March 7th.
Body Prayer on Sunday, March 8th will be in Daylight Savings Time!...

Much appreciate this advice...so true from the articles I am seeing that hand washing is most effective. Interesting and makes sense that sanitizer is used for those without running water. Fear sure...

I do not mean to spread fear. I made my original post to educate others so we can act calmly and responsibly with care and intelligence, while maintaining a positive attitude. I ask that folks don't...

Apparently there are still some people working for the CDC. Thankfully. This website posting from them is detailed and simple info about coronavirus that could save lives. Please read and pass this...

I was previously signed on for a 5 day retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre that started the very day of our evacuation, so I got in my car (West County) after getting the evcuation...

A group of friends organized this...they are going to a facility in mid July, where 1,000 children are detained. Under the Flores ruling, they...

I didn't know John except that I saw him on the dance floor on Friday nights at Wischemann Hall. I'm sad to hear about this. May he RIP.

I went over there today and spoke to his wife who's name I do not know. I had the CAFF info written on a piece of paper and gave it to her to give to Lao since she cannot read. She got very defensive...

I have recently pulled completely out of CVS. We need to come back to the power speak of money!

We need to intervene in these situations! I was once on a long bus ride and an old man was sitting on the side where the sun was hitting his tender bald head. His wife was holding up a magazine to...
