Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Greetings Community ----
I've debated all day whether to address today's proceedings in the U.S. capitol, or ignore them.
I can't ignore them.
Two million people gathered in one spot for one thing.
Two million people, of all races, religions, political parties and philosophies, gathered to recognize a moment in time that has never been.
The United States was fought for and founded as a sovereign nation to allow personal, self-determination and respect for all.
The reality of our actions have throughout our history, fallen shockingly short of that goal, many times.
And yet, on this day, the first democracy in the world swore in as its head of government a minority, a minority which has been enslaved, and then freed but persecuted.
I listened to the inaugural speech, and President Obama referred to the fact that sixty years ago his father would not have been allowed to sit at the same diner lunch counter as a Caucasian.
It struck me, later in the day, that when I was growing up, people would argue against inter-racial dating because, they would ask ----- think about the children. How will they be able to make it in our society?
Pretty well, apparently!!!!!
I don't know how this president will do. He faces daunting challenges.
But I believe him to be a man of integrity and intelligence.
Not a bad place to start.
Whether you were happy with today's proceedings, or had reservations ----- I would ask you to say a prayer for the future of this powerful nation and the new adminstration at the helm.
In the end, I could not ignore the significance of this historic day.
My prayer is that it be the first day of an era of healing and recovery ------ for our democracy and the world around us.

He was deemed president befor he tossed his hat into ring.
Yep I bought coins to add to my coin collection. President coin that where already in th e process of being made befor he toss his hat in the ring. Coins that came out on market befor election began.
Each president is given a stack of guild line of task thats in the process and under way and that will be done to certain degree within thier career while as president and they are not allowed to move forward in certain guild lines when thier term is nearing the end - in that position in thier career.
I recall 911 and will it was thier 7 or 10th warning. With Bush the combate zone wasnt relocated to any of states in US on US soil but yet again even the president has curtain that tells him what he can are cant do.
Iv already select 3 countrys that I will choise 1 of 3 to be relocateing too.
Just shooting the breeze w/o looking at a man as the new international god like puppet.
Let me see if I've got them right. . . . . .
No one should take any one, whether in a personal, professional, or political venue, as a guru or a demon, without thoroughly understanding what their character is and what they stand for.
Self-determination is a great bottom line. That's what this democracy was founded to ensure.
If you're engaged in politics, educate yourself and understand what makes a candidate or an office holder, tick.
If you're not interested or engaged in politics, educate and understand what makes YOU tick, to help ensure that you'll make choices in your life and the life of your family, that'll promote all-round well-being.
Be well, all!
When I listen to him, I feel hopeful for the first time in a very long time.
Sometimes I think he may be a manifestation of "A New Earth" a spiritual awakening on this earth.
14 million more people voted in the election than ever before. Countries all over the world celebrated his election, and his inauguration. I don't remember ever seeing that before.
He seems so far to be inclusive....of all people, everywhere in the world. And, to be able to articulate what we all want to hear, that America is a good place, that her people are strong, and that we will fight for freedom, and humanity where needed.
I just pray that he stays safe, and that he can live up to the promise.
