“The universe created you, you are meant to be.” - Ciocia Kate

~~ Ciocia (chuh-chuh) is Auntie, I’m here to listen and encourage. With the occasional virtual hug as needed.
My dad was, by definition, Antifa. He landed on D-day at Juno beach. The entire world opposing the Axis then was anti-fascist. I believe we honor the memories of all those who fought as a reminder of what it really means to be “Antifa”.

These are the hero’s in my mind we fly the flag at half mast for today. I still see their faces speeding by on the trucks as my children and I fled their school. Trying to get their gear on while hanging on to ladders and pumper trucks with one hand. Racing to, not away. You are remembered.

Please listen to this powerful song. We have to save our children from the guns. We have to. We just do.

Weekly thought from Mitch & Cioc:

- When you get hit by the wave and pushed down to the sand, take a moment to watch the grains swirl and find again their purpose. They got hit by the waves too and somehow they regroup. You can too.

This speech by Ronald Reagan…. He said it so well. How did we end up the world’s laughing stock?

Sunday thoughts from Mitch & Cioc:

- Before you post on your socials:
first, take a walk, or sit in a quiet place, have a chat with yourself. Work things out in your mind before you let those thoughts out. You’ll thank yourself later.

“When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light.
If only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

Amanda Gorman, "The Hill We Climb"

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

In Japan “tako” can also be a general all-purpose insult, meant to call someone an idiot or slow-witted. My bestie from Japan and I have been laughing ever since she told me!

Happy Mothers Day to all moms. Missing my special mama who left far too soon in life. In her time with me she managed to instill all the qualities I cherish being a mom. Not least of which is the gift of communication. Ma you are always carried in my heart as the beautiful soul you were. ❤️
