I now have 7 people signed up for my event this Thursday, October 17th, "Freeing Ourselves from Blame and Shame." It's here in Maynard, Mass. from 6:45 to 8:45 PM at the Library. More seats are available but please act soon; the room has a maximum of 20 people. Joins us for an engaging and fun experience. I mean, I can't do this without a sense of humor! It's free, but if you reserve a ticket on Eventbrite, it will help me keep count.

Freeing Ourselves from Blame and Shame Presentation with exercises and discussion, on the origin of blame, and how to stay grounded in today's rapidly changing world.

I just decided to write this, after attending Town Meeting here in Maynard last night (by now it's "tomorrow!")

• FREE, but please RSVP as the room has a maximum of 20 people.

The link to the a detailed description is: https://www.messagerain.com/workshops.html

During Maynardfest, I handed out cards to promote the event with some text on the back. It reads:

“When we blame, we have the illusion that all bad things could have been prevented, “if only ...” someone had acted differently. But we all make mistakes, emotions can overwhelm us, and we have limited time and resources. Life is unpredictable! No one has perfect foresight. There are always risks.
I invite you to join me as we learn to replace blame with love and forgiveness, within ourselves, whenever we can.

I have hosted a similar event at a few different conventions, back before the pandemic, but this is the first time I’m doing so for the general public. Please RSVP and I hope to see you there!

I have just published my latest news story, here: https://www.townwidemall.com/news/power-to-the-households
It's related to a proposed program here in Maynard to help manage our electric rates and provide better choices for renewable sources.

After I created my video on racism, I revised it by adding a few more photos and some text on-screen in the last part. So here is the link to the latest version:

Racism - My Story (added images) The challenge of racism today, for someone raised as white northerner.

I just finished editing and uploading this video this afternoon:
