Emerging from the uproar, and other updates.

If you didn't see this on Facebook, here's why I've been out of the loop this month:

"Hello, supporters of Exist Kind: I want to acknowledge all delays and lack of communication on my part and apologize sincerely for it. In the last few weeks, my role of caregiver has been brought to the forefront. Recently, I was given some real property in exchange for supervising my very elderly parents (ages 82 and 97). My mother recently fell very ill and I have had to tend to her in addition to my usual duties to my father. I've been running her around to the emergency room and calling ambulances as she deals with both recovery from a blood clot and working her way through pneumonia. All of this has led to a significant transition in the household and my assuming of greater permanent responsibility for all household functions. So, my outreach and video production efforts have been on hold as I figuratively put out many different fires. I expect the bulk of this transitioning to be done by the end of the month, so I'll be at full power by then. Thanks so much for your time and energy towards Exist Kind!"

So that's why I've been away from the blog and staying low-key on everything else.  However, by the time you're reading this, progress is slowly but surely underway.  I'm currently balancing the life transitions with my usual Exist Kind work.  As a result, I can share some new things with you.

I've decided to actively look for an Episcopal minister who would be willing to act as a liaison between donating dioceses and beneficiaries for upcoming charitable efforts.  I have someone in mind with whom I'd like to talk first, and I'll look to others if necessary.

This Saturday the 25th is the annual Peace Fair here in Tucson, if you're not familiar with it, which is sponsored by the Tucson Peace Center.  Beth and I always look forward to attending and we always get to talk with interesting people, pick up good literature, and hear good music.  We're planning to attend Saturday if no more emergencies or problems prevent us.  Look for me in my yellow Exist Kind t-shirt with a redhead at my side.

I have more to tell you, but I'd like to put it in a separate post, so stand by.  Thanks for reading!
