"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?

ReplyDeletealoha from va
And they lived happily ever after!
ReplyDelete~
a new beginning...
ReplyDeleteCongrats Rev. Cloudia for sparking peace in the world and for the couples you marry. Your story warms up the -1 degrees in Kansas today.
ReplyDeleteHmm, 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.

Sounds like some progress.
ReplyDeleteKindness is everything! A wedding already for this new year, how grand is that!
ReplyDeleteI just love that you can do this Cloudia. Too wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a year of lawful change... to the better.
Wow, my New Year hasn't started out as nearly exciting as yours. Happy New Year Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely wonderful that you could perform that wedding. And what a lucky couple. I cannot think of a celebrant I would rather have.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a positive presence in our blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. Here's to another great year of photoblogging.
Janis & David
Janice,David, EACH of YOU are gifts to me! Thanks for riding along ♥
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, dear Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteMany changes in the new year so far all that happened here is road tolls and electricity bills went up.
ReplyDeleteNow 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.
