Gold Resolution - October - Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Sonoma County
I saw a nice presentation this morning. It was for the Family Justice Center and brought to my attention that October is Violence Prevention Month in Sonoma County. So I got my purple ribbon and was SO PLEASED when SUPERVISOR SHIRLEE ZANE acknowledged, at the close of the presentation, that CHILDREN, and MEN are also victims of Domestic Violence... anyway, I been thinking about it all day...
It occurs to me that perhaps even people with great responsibility and position might also be "close" to Domestic Violence. It occurs to me that Domestic Violence might well be all around me, or at least nearer than I might want to believe... So I was thinking, "I'm going to try to be cognizant of that," and try to "speak softly," a little more often, try not to be so... "scary..."
As far as the Domestic Violence, let's try to make a dent it this sh*t, starting now... Let's fill the blessed counseling centers and helplines and clinics, Yea,verily even some of the churches, the shrinks and therapists and DO whatever it takes to get our families talking and working, functioning again...
Let's do THAT, non-violently, whatever it is... from now until... We meet again...?
