Thanksgiving Blogs 2018


Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, enjoy the day whether alone or with family and friends. 2018 has not been an easy year due to the political, social and geophysical climates we face as a nation. For some events have been life-altering and often shattering. Honor the love you share with others, and the freedoms we share to date as a nation. In the past unexpected change would come after years ... then months ... then weeks ... now we understand it comes out of the blue so we must cherish the good things in our lives and move forward as we come to the end of 2018.

It's a major holiday travel week as many of us head out to spend time with family. We know the issues that faced the nation in 2018 from natural disasters to mass shootings and other things that have left us questioning the future for ourselves, our families and reality.

My family and I always talk about being grateful for everything we have. Thanksgiving is a day to gather and play.

Many connect the history of our country (and reality) to ancient Egypt and the symbolic messages left behind by those who created the storylines we embrace today. The 18th Dynasty featured many key payers most notably King Tutankhamun and his bloodline which some connect with extraterrestrials. On this date in 1922 (November 22, 1922 or 11/22/22 or or 22/11/22) Howard Carter opened Tutankhamun's tomb.

The Clintons and the Trumps - Are we characters in their games?

Reality is a simulation based on algorithms that overlap in time. If you look at history you will find the patterns and their source of origin outside of time.

A&E is featuring a three-part documentary (Sunday-Tuesday) called The Clinton Affair. For me it was a walk down memory lane though I rarely follow politics as everything presented is fabricated one way or another and actually events play out like scripted scenarios or reality TV. I remember the Clinton scandals and disliked the players involved all part of intertwined scenarios.

Segue to this time line - with the addition of social media and we have another president with a similar scenario and those who want to take him down - the women, the political system, the media, and more. Clinton actually referred to his investigation as a "Witch Hunt". Bill Clinton also said "Make America Great Again". Clinton overcame obstacles to remain in office but at the end of the day it would cost Hillary a presidential bid as many remember the corruption.


The Clintons and the Trumps - another overlapping pattern unfolds.

What goes around comes around ... and sometimes hits home

Remember Trump's 2016 chant ... "Lock her up" in reference to Hillary Clinton's emails?

6 similarities between Ivanka Trump and Hillary Clinton's email excuses   CNN - November 20, 2018

Well ... In 2017 Ivanka Trump used a personal email account to discuss or relay official White House business, according to emails released by a nonpartisan watchdog group. The Washington Post reported Monday the White House conducted an investigation into Trump's email usage and that she used her personal email address for much of 2017. According to emails released by the watchdog group, American Oversight, Trump used her personal account to email Cabinet officials, White House aides and assistants. The Presidential Records Act requires all official White House communications and records be preserved. Austin Evers, the executive director of American Oversight, said in a statement, "The president's family is not above the law, and there are serious questions that Congress should immediately investigate. Did Ivanka Trump turn over all of her emails for preservation as required by law? Was she sending classified information over a private system?" The Democrats will certainly pursue this in the effort to overthrow Donald Trump.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.

Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.

Every generation inherits a world it never made; and, as it does so, it
automatically becomes the trustee of that world for those who come after.
In due course, each generation makes its own accounting to its children.

It's hard for me to talk about a legacy or a mystique.
It's my family - my father, my mother, and my sister.

We're a family like any other. We look out for one another.
The fact that there have been difficulties, hardships, or obstacles, makes us closer.

Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers.

you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories.
Those memories, good and bad,
are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul.
