1.         Today, friends and media asked us to participate in a NO-SPEND DAY to protest the shenanigans happening in you know, where. See the USA article posted today on the Economic Blackout-Boycott
We were asked to boycott all the big corporations, but… here’s the thing: “When asked which presidential candidate would have the greatest impact on the small business sector, 54% of small-business owners named Trump, while only 22% chose Harris, according to BizBuySell’s quarterly Insight Report, released at the end of October.” This is from an  article posted a few months ago titled: “Small-Business Owners Voted for Trump. They Won’t Get Everything On Their Wish List.”

Soooo…. They voted for that guy in office, and now they are facing the consequences due to tariffs, etc. Was this reasoning because they didn’t want to pay for things like … let’s say…decent wages and healthcare for their employees? Hmmm….so I’m not shopping at anyone’s place of business today. (Come on people! Why did you think this guy would help you?) … JUST SAYIN’.

2.         I want to repeat what I said last night about instructing your children and yourselves about government. Please read Dr. Lindsey Cormack’s book How to Raise a Citizen. She encourages you to have those difficult conversations in a contentious time. She stated that “As I often tell my students, politics is going to happen to us whether we like it or not, so we might as well understand how the system works.” WOW!

So lots to think about today. I will try and get back to you later on a more positive note! Now I am back to never-neverland writing my book! I send love out to all of you, no matter who you are!
