AMAZING TIMES For CHANGE And greater call for unity than ever before! If so many small, tiny bubbles in champagne can live together in peace in the small confines of a bottle for at least eighteen months at a time maybe we can find a way to use their example to benefit us as we move forward in this moder age of constant information and change?!?

 

AND JUST LIKE ALL THESE Tiny bubbles we must also learn to rise up and escape into the open and rise and pop and smile and laugh and smirk, grin, and even burp with good cheer, with great spirits as we move upwards as is our due, all of us, all of the bubbles, : Rise and shine and burst and pop and satisfy our many collective thirsts!

 

TRYING TIMES, celebrating many holidays including Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, and with the change of the guards from 16 to 17 we have so much work cut out for us now individually, many ' new Year's Eve resolutions ' ... , maybe this is the year to actually work on them, keep them, stay purposed, stay the course, and ' Make it Work! " as Tim Gunn is so famous for saying on the popular show ' Project runway '.
