Hearts As One Drumbeat Award
Sue of Dreamwalker’s Sanctuary, passed on her Hearts As One Drumbeat Award to Blackbutterfly7. Sue created the award, and the rules for passing it on are;
“Within their posts whether if be through Poem or Word
Caring for others is a must for this Award.
Be it through laughter or Humour
Photograph or Story
Love and Compassion
Are
Mandatory”
Together let us Beat our Drums for Harmony, Peace, Unity, and Equality.
Let the Beat of your Thoughts Ripple out as we share our Hearts in One Beat of Unity.
The Hearts as One Drumbeat Award is a celebration of unity, love, and compassion. In spite of some subject matters that we write about, I always wear my emotions on my sleeve and it is a humbling honor to be recognized, even on my worst days, for keeping the hope of love and compassion alive.
Thank you Sue.
I now pass it to the following blogs;

ANNOUNCEMENT
Everyone has probably seen that some changes were made. 🙂 Let me know what you think. You were very helpful in letting me know about likes for comments. Thank you.
As you can probably see, I’m up late. After I get some sleep, I have 100 things (no, make that 101) to do. Therefore, feel free to use this thread for open discussion. I should be back around late afternoon/early evening.
Keep on shining,
Xena

Congratulations on your well deserved award, Xena! You do “keep the heartbeat of love and compassion alive”.
This was how The Hon. Rev. Pinckney lived his life. Today I believe that thousands across our country will be tying their hearts into that “One Beat of Unity” of a desire for “Peace, Harmony, and Equality” as they watch the funeral for Rev. Pinckney.
Live streaming at 11:00 a.m. of Rev. Clementa Pinckney’s funeral can be found at this link:

May he rest in peace in God’s loving arms.
And may his wife, Jennifer, and his two daughters, Eliana and Malana, be embraced by His Love and Comfort. My thoughts and prayers of support will be with his family today.

I’m reminded of the Supreme Court’s decision in Loving v. Virginia. They could not go against that binding case decision. Marriage equality has nothing to do with gender or sex, but laws, heirships, beneficiaries, and property rights, which is something that heterosexual couples living together outside of marriage should learn.

Doing a drive-by comment with more good news today. The California Fifth District Court of Appeals upheld the trial court’s decision in denying Mr. Stalker a restraining order against Santiago. In other words, Mr. Stalker lost. He has another appeal pending for when the court denied him a temporary restraining order. That should be summarily dismissed on the basis that it is what is called an “interlocutory order” which comes with a different set of Rules before it can be appealed.

Xena, I’ve never understood why some people have such a hissy-fit over things that don’t affect them anyway. It’s not as if THEY are being FORCED to marry a same-sex partner. I had a hetero marriage for 22 years. For Mr. Wonderful, it was just another excuse to cheat. The 2 things he did best: lie and cheat.

Linda, so true. The Bible says if a man doesn’t work, neither shall he eat. I wonder if they will start asking if the husband-to-be is employed and if not, refuse to issue a marriage license and/or refuse to conduct a ceremony based on that Bible verse? Hypocrites! If they have a religious conscience that forbids them from doing their job, then they need another job.

That’s about the only good thing I can say about Mr. Wonderful. He did have a good work ethic. It was all downhill from there!
