hello fam,
Checking in on this September 11th, a day that brings many to a solemn place where we remember those who innocently lost their lives.
We are managing layers of grief and this day always opens up a deep grief that bring us to a harsh present moment awareness reality.
We remember the before September 11th and the after September 11th timeline.
Are We Surprised by Our Surveillance State?
We liked “the before life” a lot lot more. It was freer, less judgy, less constricting, less surveillance, less political correctness, no fighting over bathroom spaces, no one hated you if you voted Red or Blue. We didn’t care what your gender was or whether or not you believed in this or that.
What is happening to our human family?
We've All Fallen for Psyops
Why Isn't 9/11 a National Holiday?
Trying to shake off this grief. And yet I / we do not lose hope. We can not. We must not…. Our children need us.
also…
Sending prayers to all of you who are grieving.
Rest in peace Charlie Kirk.
We are deeply saddened by the horrific way your life was cut short.
We hold your family, loved ones and friends in prayer.
We also pray for all those souls who have lost their connection to God. May they come to know your goodness, your love, your truth, your forgiveness, and your loving grace.
We may not have loved all the ways Charlie used words to express himself, but we defend his right to freedom of speech, debate, and reason.
“Be not afraid.” God does not live in fear.
See below for a clip recorded by The Perez Sisters during a Turning Point USA event December 2022. You can hear Charlie saying….”We want a country..”
Thoughts?
We want a country where ideas can be debated without the fear of losing your life or personhood.

A Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
