The year 2017 ended with fearful-tearful political changes, religious conflicts, terrorism and climate change that brought fear to people’s hearts and tears to their eyes — everywhere. Fear was an emotion everyone felt in one way or another. Just a matter of degrees. Deep personal emotional fear to random superficial sympathetic fear, for different personal reasons, triggered by the same event.
Events, evoked just by the name of a city, state or country elicited fearful-tearful reactions — and will continue to do so in 2018.

The world has transitioned from last year’s fearful-tearful year to more of the same — and probably more — this year. The year of the Chinese barking Dog.
The world is a mess. A mess We the People — The Maids — have to clean-up! We the Maids must and can sweep away our fears and tears so that our children and grandchildren can live with a peaceful state of mind in a harmonious-peaceful world. Why not?
My New Year’s resolution is to re-start focusing on just that! Something I started to do in 2004 with the publication of Custom Maid Spin for New World Disorder, my first book of the Custom Maid for New World Disorder trilogy. The book was made available for free on Google books. Life, with its expected and unexpected ups-and-downs, some fearful, some tearful, resulted in my putting off getting more active than just writing about political activism and participation. Hopefully, this year I will be able to.
Everyone must get politically active for fears and tears to be wiped away and be replaced by smiles. Hopefully, you will as well. Within your party, movement, community, family and country. At the ballot box and peaceful protests. Register to vote — and vote!
