 "Kindness,
 I've discovered,
 is everything
 in life. "

Isaac Bashevis Singer 










Married by me, Jan 1st 2014

"By the power vested in me
by the State of Hawaii
just last month,
I now pronounce you
spouses and wives
before these your friends
Legally
To your military command,
ALL of it
EVERYTHING!

(One is in the military,
the other is now a 
military spouse)



  =^..^=        



As of Jan 1 2014

  Illinois police
cannot fly drones
without a warrant;
also becoming the 
13th state to prohibit 
handheld cellphones 
while driving.

Legal marijuana
is now for sale 
in Colorado.

Transgender children
may use the 
school bathroom
and play sports
in California.

Friendly, Humane
Francis is Pope
in Rome.

Connecticut has
tighter gun control,
and raises the 
minimum wage to $8.70 an hour,
New Jersey to $8.25
New York and Rhode Island to $8. 
Nine states automatically raise
their minimum wage because they 
index it to inflation. 


And I performed 
a wedding.

What is NEW
for YOU
this year?

                             Warmly, cloudia

Congrats Rev. Cloudia for sparking peace in the world and for the couples you marry. Your story warms up the -1 degrees in Kansas today.
Hmm, Kansas is close to Colorado, and with their new laws, that state should have a boom in tourism too! But the rules are funny to read.

It certainly is a year of lawful change... to the better.

How absolutely wonderful that you could perform that wedding. And what a lucky couple. I cannot think of a celebrant I would rather have.

Many changes in the new year so far all that happened here is road tolls and electricity bills went up.
Now my electricity bill arrived yesterday it's in credit [we have solar power and sell back to the grid so we have a excess in summer] but if they keep putting it up shouldn't they pay more for my power I make but no they don't doesn't make it fair to me.
