1. Domestic Violence Awareness Month. What was once thought by police and others to be "a domestic situation to stay away from" is now seen for what it really is: A crime against
all humanity--
because domestic violence touches all levels of society! Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten. Yesterday I marched in a parade through downtown Medford to bring awareness to this criminal act--domestic violence counselors, police, judges and survivors spoke of the need to hold perpetrators accountable. I am truly grateful to be a part of a community that cares for
all its citizens.
Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator,
but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.”

2. Chinook winds. I love those warm breezes after the cold has kept my muscles cramped together for survival. Renewing. Refreshing. Rejuvenating.
While sleeping in a hammock, with the touch of a warm wind
we remember why we are in love with life!
