An adjective that means optimistic or positive, especially in a difficult situation. I am sanguine about individual and collective prospects.
Last Night's Presidential Debate
Whew, what an ordeal! Kamala did an outstanding job of not getting pulled into thingamabob’s vortex of negativity, discombobulation, and rants. I thought she was eloquently impressive in communicating effectively and coherently her plans for addressing the needs of the people and baiting him. Plus, she has a great, encouraging smile. A hugely glaring contrast! Although the moderators were better than the last debate at least in addressing a few of the lies, they did let him manipulate the narrative from time to time and go beyond the allotted response time. After around 80 stressful minutes, I started muting him. When that didn’t calm me, I turned to my paints and created this dense work. Kinetic and quick, it did the trick!
Awe For Solitude
My son sent me this article. Although I, too, subscribe to Good News Network, somehow I missed it. Awe is such a simple word yet hugely powerful for solitude and perhaps for advancing equanimity and enjoyment of life.
US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy was featured on NPR not too long ago stating his concerns about a potential loneliness epidemic as it relates to social connection. I think we have to be careful about fear and a label of “loneliness epidemic” especially as it relates to people living alone such as myself. This article offers a more comprehensive, important view. I absolutely agree, “Being alone doesn’t necessarily lead to loneliness. Many of us appreciate solitude as a time for personal reflection, creativity, and spiritual enrichment, even as we enjoy our social ties too. Yet, if we equate solitude with loneliness, or don’t have a positive view of it, we may avoid it and lose its potential benefits.” Certainly, though, I do understand the need for and value of good, quality social connections. We need a balance.

Good News Network
How wonderful this story has gone viral. Connection as human beings. Perfect timing!
Put A Woman In Charge
So, here we are! Time to consolidate, get behind Kamala, and support her to get across the finish line and win this race. She’s got the “it” factor. She can do this! In addition to Beyonce’s “Freedom”, in my opinion, this song is perfect. “Let’s raise the vibration and make a better place for me and you.”
Magnificent Fascinating Perilous Moments
On the edge. We’re so on the edge! I understand and share the fear of another thingamabob presidency, but I really don’t subscribe to how the democrats are throwing Biden under the bus, disrespecting him, and his legacy in forcing him to step aside. I agree “there was a much more dignified way to do this if this is what they wanted.” He deserves high regard for his decades of devotion and tireless work for the thriving of this country. He’s been a good president. Especially given the distorted partisanship, one of the best in modern times. I’m not convinced that leaking private conversations to the public and fueling the mainstream chatter and chaos without a strong replacement ticket will assure a win in November. I guess we’ll know soon enough if the democrats were effective or not, smart or stupid.

We need this right about now!
Minoritarianism
“In political science, minoritarianism (or minorityism) is a neologism for a political structure or process in which a minority group of a population has a certain degree of primacy in that population’s decision making with legislative power or judicial power being held or controlled by a minority group rather than a majority that is representative of the population.” Wikipedia
Lee Harris - July Energy Update
After the devastating and predictable news of the Supreme Court granting presidential immunity, Lee’s update is perfectly timed! I feel a tad more optimistic, especially with reference to Cosmic Opening. “There will be a cosmic opening energetically in this month and in months to come that will literally burst lower frequencies on earth, personal and global. Let’s say there’s a very low vibe agenda going on on earth or a plan to keep people down; anything that’s coming from a very low place, this cosmic opening energy is literally going to be coming in and sweeping a lot of that out of the way. It means low vibrational plans will be interrupted.” I do believe each of us is part of a great, universal life force and there is an unseen world in play. Just as I know there is my individual blueprint this lifetime, I know there is a collective blueprint as well.
Without a doubt, the craziness and supreme power grab we are being subjected to by the minoritarian group hell-bent on suppression of everything good is of very low vibration. We do need help, so I hope to God Lee is right that there will be a cosmic opening energetically that blows up these lower frequences!

Flagrantly Corrupt Supreme Court
With the 6-month delay and ruling today, the emboldened, militant far right Supreme Court has cemented its political affiliation with Thingamabob and essentially given him broad immunity. The way is now paved for autocracy and dictatorship. As president, he is unshackled and free to commit crimes against anyone he chooses. Is this really a surprise? No! Disappointing and extremely scary though! Along with Chief Justices Sotomayor and Jackson and President Biden, I too dissent! Combined with overturning the long-standing precedents Roe v. Wade and Chevron v. NRDC, I, as well as others, believe we are witnessing the collapse in legitimacy of the Supreme Court. It’s been brewing. Remember Bush v. Gore in 2000 when a similar ultra-conservative Republican majority gave the presidency to Bush? No more sugarcoating this hijacking of our democracy.
It’s an understatement that we’re at an inflection point. We have to vote for the democratic ticket in November and win even if elder Joe with feeble moments is still on it. Kamala can easily step in.
