As always you inspire me and it reminds me of my mother who never let conditions dictate her belief in what was right or wrong. My father was a piece of work (like VILE PILE) even after he divorced her he continued to try and make her life miserable. She wouldn't allow it - just a quick example - she learned to drive after he left her and he was required to provide a vehicle to her, one day he announced he wanted the car back and he was coming to get it. My mother had 1 neighbor put the car in their garage, another had the keys and my sister and I were at another neighbor's house. When he arrived he was greeted with a copy of the divorce decree and my mother told him that he would not be able get the car. This is just one example, you should also know that the divorce complicated my mother's life and ours because the woman who my father had an affair with and later married her sisters were married to my mom's brother and the other was married to my dad's brother so we were never able to step away from the drama that created. I will stop there because I refuse to let the darkness that was then define me now. It is why I will continue to fight and will do whatever is necessary to make a difference in this world and for this democracy!
So glad you are able to have the strength and wish you had had an easier life after her divorce. Sounds as if she was able to lead by example and teach you how to be strong.
I am so very grateful for your inspiration. I am a senior citizen who never dreamed my Country would become what it has. I will maintain hope for a reversal of what is happening here until the end of my days. You give me hope with every breath I take. “Give me liberty or give me death” never meant more to me than it does in this moment. Thank you.

Wow, good for you!!!! Hope you have a good day, always….
Thank you for the good wishes. My mother has been gone 9 years as of August 19th. I use her memory and how she lived to keep me strong.
Thanks, Jack! I was especially feeling low today so, reading your post was the best antidote for me. I got inspired once again.
I don't have the words to tell you how much I appreciate all that you do!

I live in the U.K. I am so grateful for what you write. Thank you
Thanks Jack, needed that 🙂
Time to hit the streets again & show the strength of our numbers, our voices, our creativity, & our courage.
I’m attending a rally supporting immigrants. There are many types of events this Labor Day-find one near you at link below.
We the People have the power. As Jack says, we need to use it regularly and relentlessly.

As you can see, about all I have the energy to do at this moment is support my contemporaries here by hitting “like.”
That’s what I thought to begin with, but here’s Rae spouting’ off, as she will do. HA!
You’re right again, Jack. I’ll be damned.
