Submitted By: lynneejacks@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
This Friday, December 19 at 6 PM:

Creative and reflective journaling isn’t just for “writers.” This is for everyone. The simple act of writing helps unlock parts of the subconscious, and is an incredible tool for healing and growth.

Celebrate the solstice by going inward with me. As we approach the longest night of the year, we’ll gather in a cozy space with blankets, candles, tea, and snacks. Together, we’ll move through exercises to help you tap into your inner world and cultivate a personal writing practice.

What to Expect:

– A quiet, relaxing atmosphere to unwind and reflect.
– Guided writing prompts to help your thoughts flow freely.
– Time to share insights and intentions for the year ahead
– Takeaway tools to support a reflective writing practice at home.

Register here before Friday at 9 am: www.sandstonestories.com/event-details/deep-dive-a-winter-solstice-writing-workshop

Magic

Remembering our beautiful community…

Magic

In a stand of pines there was a cabin
with a sloping back porch. If we were quiet,
we could listen to the wind in the dry
Ponderosa and the sounds of a green river
descending. We were days on the road,
traveling together to grandmother’s house,
a family journey. Decades later, searching
for that river memory along old US 395,
I stopped. Walking down to the river,
I began to breathe, opening a way back.
Swirling roots still bind those rocky banks,
where ankle deep in luminous water
we had learned to hold the flat, far-tumbled
stones, glistening on a quiet granite run.
Rising with the incantation of the skipping
stones, magic arrived long ago in the emerald
light.

DOGE as Vigilante Government

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Coming soon there will lots of news about the so-called Department of Government Efficiency and what cuts, closures, and deregulation they want to make. It’s thus good that everyone keep in mind that DOGE is NOT a department of the federal government. Departments are created by Congress and department heads are approved subject to vetting and the advice and consent of the Senate. This process has not happened and is unlikely to.

So essentially DOGE is two billionaire private citizens operating with no oversight at the behest of another billionaire, the President. All three have some very strange, non-mainstream views. What could go wrong? We are all about to find out.

Fun fact: DOGE is named after Elon Musk’s preferred cryptocurrency, Dogecoin.

United Paws’ Kittens of the Week: Dog Buddies

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Coastbbqfree@protonmail.com – Click to email about this post
Are you seeking a feline friend for Fido? If so, meet Woody, Hank, Joni and Molly. These fabulous kittens currently cohabitate with dogs in their foster homes and will settle into any household with friendly animal companions.

Woody, about 14 weeks old, loves to play with other cats and dogs, and will gladly interact with everyone and everything. When playtime is over, Woody will climb up behind you and wrap himself around your neck, providing very comforting purr-therapy!

Hank is comfortable with dogs, cats, and even rabbits. About 16 weeks old, he considers his fosters’ dogs to be his friends, regularly head-butting, grooming, and playing with them. Hank loves to climb tall cat trees and sees himself as a mighty hunter, spending much of his time playing with wands, balls, and anything he can chase! Hank has learned to love a lap, so after playtime you may find him curled up in yours. To view videos of Hank in action, check out his YouTube playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe3xY_E-Uj2ZBL2wmbWPdfyCHO_B_YD9H

If you are looking for a snuggly, mellow, loving kitty, Joni is your girl. She is about 11 weeks, and has a relaxed, laid-back personality. She’ll play for short periods of time, but then is ready a warm lap and a nap.

Molly, on the other hand, is independent and on the go, leading the play activities. About 16 weeks old, Molly is curious and likes to explore new things. She can play hard, but she also loves to snuggle and is quick to purr.

You can learn more about these kittens and others available for adoption at unitedpaws.wordress.com. You can also complete an adoption application and get pre-approved. Once pre-approved, you can schedule a “Meet & Greet.” You can also email unitedpawsapps@gmail.com or call United Paws at 503-842-5663 for more info.

SOCIAL SECURITY IN THE FUTURE

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

What will DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) do to Social Security? DOGE is a new agency under the incoming Trump administration. We hear that Social Security will be bankrupt in a few years and the age for collecting full benefits
now is 67, and keeps rising! Elon Musk has proposed putting social security funds in the stock market. This was proposed about 50 years ago, but nothing came of it.

Senator John Kennedy Rep, from Louisiana reveals massive fraud in Social Security.

1.3 billion dollars has been sent to dead people, and THOSE CHECKS ARE BEING CASHED.

2.9 trillion dollars was the value of improper payments from social security since 2004

6.5 million is the number of 112 year-olds on social security

Here in this video, Senator John Kennedy Rep from Louisiana
explains how trillions of dollars have been stolen from the social security administration. There are many retirees living here in the area including me. We all need to know this.
