Autumn 2020, a new season, and a critical election year. Whatever you do this Autumn 2020, be sure to register and vote! The fate of our democracy, literally, hangs in the balance.
It's, actually, very hard to believe that with all the advancements, technologically and otherwise, that we've made as a human race over the centuries, we really still have to take a stand, to protest, and to use whatever platforms we have to advocate for basic democratic principles (like the right to vote), and fundamental human rights (like freedom, justice, and equality). Come on people, it's the 21st century, already! Let's get this done, once and for all. Everyone should have gotten the memo by now: All men (and women) are created equal and should be treated as such.
This Autumn 2020 continues to be a challenging time on another level, as well - a time of continued concern over the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, especially in the U. S., which, incredibly, is now the world epicenter of the pandemic. Totally unbelievable! It's past time for a national strategy to contain the spread of the virus, and to move, collaboratively, to eradicate it ASAP!
I want to, sincerely, say "Thank You" to all the amazing frontline heroes out there who continue to fight this pandemic each and everyday. Your sacrifices and dedication are beyond incredible and are, most definitely, greatly appreciated. Words cannot adequately express our sincere thanks and gratitude for all you do. Much love and appreciation to each and every one of you!
We all need to stay up-to-date on the COVID 19 pandemic for our own and our families' safety and wellbeing. I recommend following these reliable Coronavirus Resources:
Coronavirus Resource Center - Johns Hopkins University & Medicine
Coronavirus Resource Center - Harvard Health/ Medical School
Coronavirus 2020 Outbreak: Latest Updates - Web MD
The above listed resources provide answers to many of the common questions we're all asking, as well as providing reliable information on social distancing, handwashing, the wisdom of something as simple as wearing a mask, and other vital safety measures.
Wishing us all Abundant Peace, Justice, and Happiness this Autumn 2020! #StaySafe, #BeWell and #BeBlessed, Everyone! And, very importantly, don't forget to register and vote! #YourVoteMatters #YourVoteIsYourVoice #Vote
