all my love and support for you, Nora as you heal old trauma and create and support the kind of world you want to live in. It was really hell here in Arizona trying to get the governors race out of the hands of Kari Lake enter very delusional supporters. But we did it and hopefully we'll do it again in the '24 presidential election.

I have recently begun working in trauma healing and recovery again for myself and others and it is really quite an energetic push time for all this kind of healing and recovery. I am loving it and it is quite a revelation of how much I have actually healed already and how much more there is to go. But I am loving it. I so love sharing what I have to give.

Nora experienced what is happening all over our nation. She captured the mood, actions and atmosphere of this meeting, as she always does, with humor, honesty and eyes and ears for incredible detail. She bravely shared her feelings here.

Election season in Ojai will get as ugly as it gets is my prediction. Chief of Police has to go to every City Council meeting to keep the peace vs being home with family shows how pathetic Ojai has gotten. Family Enmeshment CONTROL with everyone angry and wanting to CONTROL something to get back what was taken from them during CV19 Gov CONTROL. This is playing out Worldwide. Division is the only way UN/WHO/WEF/BIS can pull off the One World Genocidal Coup they are doing and no one gets it.

I am so sorry you went through this, and impressed you continued to stand your ground and use your voice.

I am surprised but not, at the toxicity of Ojai city council.

I have cried tears in front of a very hostile Honolulu city council, and also seen the cold calculation of their agendas.

Ojai has always had a right wing red neck element and I wonder if that is what is fighting back as the community becomes more and more progressive and liberal.

I’m curious about so much and proud of you for getting involved because if no one does, these trump like council members will just run over everyone, silence the community and pass regulations and laws that serve themselves and their bank accounts.

Nora, sending you love, healing for those old wounds, and appreciation for standing up for all that is decent and important in our lives. Other than that, I am wordless after reading your piece. I now feel the need to smudge myself, my home and your city, and might as well do this nation, D.C., Gaza, Israel and the rest of the world. Thank you for these often-astounding chronicles and the delightful pups at play to help with our healing and add joy to the day.

It is heartbreaking to see this happening everywhere. So much hate and disrespect. I am so glad you spoke out and didn’t put up with the abuse. That is such a hard thing to do, and takes a lot of strength and courage. Holding you and everyone there in my heart. 💜

I loved your dog video too, they are so adorable!
