Posted on June 28, 2022June 28, 2022 by Janis Sexton

This 4th of July…
Happy Birthday America…
We are a young Country…still growing…
What potential we have…

What values and freedoms are we leaving…for our precious children?

“THIS COUNTRY WILL NOT BE A GOOD PLACE FOR ANY OF US TO LIVE IN UNLESS WE MAKE IT A GOOD PLACE FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE IN.”

Hi Janis. I hope you are well. The quotation from Roosevelt would be better if he said “world” instead of “country” I think. For me country denotes division. What we desperately need now is unity. Perhaps our children are searching for their own values in light of the legacy we are leaving them: the climate crisis, economic uncertainty, possible war in Europe etc. Love, empathy and compassion are universal values; the ones to see All of us through these turbulent times. Love, joy and peace. Andrew.
