FIRST DO NO HARM


After Trump accuses doctors of profiteering, medical professionals push back.

I, like most of us, especially older people have had a lot of experience with Doctors in the last few years. Not that this experience was welcome, illness never is, but when you know that your Doctors are dedicated to your health and speedy recovery from whatever ails you at least you have the comfort of knowing that they have your best interest at heart not to mention their years of education and their Hippocratic Oath:

"First Do No Harm".

The very idea of blaming our first responders, our essential medical workers our lifesavers the ones at the top of the medical food chain, the Physicians, for conspiring against us and compromising our health for financial gain is repulsive to our intelligence.

This reasoning is Trump's MO, how he rationalizes everything, "first, what's in it for me ?".

At this point in the countdown to the election, Trump has panicked and is striking out at everything and everyone in a desperate attempt to rally his infamous base. If you count yourself as a Trump supporter please, for the sake of your own health and that of your family and friends listen to the medical experts, the dedicated Doctors who are in it for your good health not, as Trump says, for their own financial gain.

VOTE on Tuesday, you have the last word, shout it out loud!

SILENCE IS APPROVAL~Jewish Meme

How often do we learn something awful, clam up, and ignore it, hoping it will go away.  It never does, it just gets worse and our silence becomes its enabler.  Life is like that, we don't want to get involved. We have enough to worry about and ignorance, after all, is bliss. Wrong, ignorance is acceptance. The easy analogy is governance. We sit in a management meeting or a board of directors where we become aware of something nefarious and keep silent for fear of being disloyal.  To speak up takes courage and courage has consequences. When a whistleblower comes forward they are vilified, they become the victim of power and power corrupts. We've seen this in Washington for years, management teams being selected for their weakness rather than their strength. Weakness breeds indecision and silence, strength breeds courage. A new administration always starts with a ray of hope that the management team, aka the cabinet, will be outspoken and advise and consent with courage, not sile

AROUND THE WORLD IN 23 YEARS~AZERBAIJAN

Sheki, Azerbaijan  This trip was a study in contrasts, the glamour, and luxury of the capital Baku and its Caspian Sea oil deposits and the third world poverty of its rural countryside and medieval agriculture. I was there to improve the latter, but what I found was surprising. In the end, it's not about oil or vegetables, it's about the human spirit. I took this photo of a 5th generation farmer and his 7th generation grandson after his wife had served us a modest lunch of homegrown vegetables and pork, the meat sliced razor-thin to stretch their budget after entertaining western visitors. I've never had a better meal, before or since.   Forget Baku and their moguls, the real Azeri's live on the farms, that's where I discovered how wonderful life can be, fewer conveniences and more love. This man was the perfect host, he offered us what he had, no shyness, no apologies just knowing that what he had would be more than enough. My life in the developing world changed m

IT MUST BE SUNDAY

" Life is like a river, if you cannot let go of the past, it will drag you down the stream.” ―Amit Ray I've Been Thinking... A few months ago, I was talking to a friend of mine about life when he said to me: “Maria, if you want something new, you are going to have to first get rid of the old. It’s the only way to make room.” Damn, I thought. Ain’t that the truth? One of my big New Year’s resolutions for 2020 was to clear out the old in every area of my life. I had made a promise to myself that this would be the year I would take a hard look at how I was living my life: my beliefs, my attachments, and all my stuff. I started sorting through things from my office, things from my time as First Lady of California, things from my parents, things from my kids (do yourself a favor and do not save all of your kids’ school things like I did), and so many other things that had found their way into storage when life got the best of me. In fact, I was already in the thick of shredding, di
