It’s November 7th, 2024; We’ve got a new original country song for some today. I think she’s thinkin’ is a fun song and it might even put a smile on your face–I know that’s hard for some of you right now. Vocals by Bubba Hudson. Song production by Steven Cooper of Nashville, TN.
This is the three-hundred-tenth new music post for 2024! Richard has always told me I care too much about what other people are thinking, and a phone call with my uncle Jim yesterday, brought that to my mind as well.
My uncle Jim is a minister of a branch of Latter Day Saints (He is in the Remnant church). And he carefully chooses his words, so as not to hurt there people’s feelings. We have always talked openly about politics and religion. So, it surprised me to know he’d said something to one of my first cousins that he later was concerned about. He’d told her, “A vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate was a vote for the death of America; a vote for the Republican Presidential candidate was a vote for the life of America.” And then she told him she and her family are Democrats. What I loved about this discourse was that she listened politely to him and then simply answered. There was no argument or divisive words. Thankfully. He told me he would never want to sever a familial relationship over politics. And that sets the stage for what I am about to say.
Braver Angels
I have a friend who lives in Indiana and serves within his states Braver Angels commUnity. If you’re not aware of this organization, read this email I received from him this morning (to his email list). It will give you some insight:
Becoming a Braver Angel – Post Election
It’s Election Day and depolarizing may be the last thing on your mind! But it is more important than ever to learn to talk with each other in order to govern our communities and country. This is why I am a volunteer with the non-profit organization Braver Angels and why I believe you are on this mailing list.
I have a question: Is polarization an addiction? And what does healing mean in a post-election America? Does that look different for liberals and conservatives?
Pondering on what “healing” means for our country, I thought about the success of 12 step recovery programs. I searched “What are the 12 principles of recovery?” and it said – honesty, hope, surrender, courage, integrity, willingness, humility, love, responsibility, discipline, awareness, and service.
Wow! Commenting on each of these would be an article on it’s own. But what I really want to know is what is YOUR perspective on polarization as an addiction? What do these 12 principles (which represents the 12 steps of recovery) mean to you? Reply to this email or give me a text or call at (812) 361-0067. Or let me know if you want a private online group to chat about it (e.g. NOT social media).
After the elections, regardless of who wins, we will all need to show compassion and a willingness to understand other people’s perspectives in order to solve the problems facing us. On July 28 we began the “100 Days the Braver Angles Way” campaign leading up to today’s election. My role is as Indiana Volunteer Coordinator, but it is you who has to take initiative and let me know how you want to participate.
And getting involved is now what I am asking you to do! As a grassroots social movement it is up to each of us as individuals to act. As a state coordinator I may be in a leadership position, but I do NOT believe in a top-down approach. Instead, I encourage you to empower yourself by utilizing the tools Braver Angels provides to guide us into relationship with each other.
So, below is a call-to-action to get you started in figuring out what your part is for healing our country. Your journey begins with becoming a member, if you are not already. Then log into the members portal and explore what looks good to you; getting trained as an organizer, learning to be a workshop moderator, pursuing an interest like starting a book club, or coming up with your own idea and running with it! And, as always, donating to the cause is always needed and appreciated.

Everything happens for a reason
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25!
Yours in expanding, learning and sharing, spiraling consciousness,

Integrating the Spirals 
The media has made him into a hated man by half the country. If they would sit down and listen to that Joe Rogan interview…he was great and a little goofy…just like us. That is why so many people like him…and I’ve been watching msnbc just fall apart…its a lovely sight.

I know, about the Joe Rogan interview. I think it may have swayed a few people too! Rogan is great! Love that guy!
We watched a few of the Left ‘meltdown’ shorts this morning. Daayum. I didn’t know whether to laugh or reach and offer them emotional support!

At some point, people have to grow up. The Democratic Party seems immature, childish, and spoiled to me. But the party is its own worse enemy. We are witnessing that now.
