Lot&#8217;s of anger creeps into my thoughts and distorts my thinking and feelings. Once the air clears, I begin looking for solutions&#8230;and not just the midterms. I&#8217;m not going to put all my hope on the midterms and then be disappointed by what T has once again done to win or to challenge the outcome.</p><p>Instead I have become awakened by some writings in Substack that may help us to take advantage of something that is already in place and provided for by our founding fathers. </p><p>That is a State of Emergency set up and enforced by our state Governors of whom there are twenty-four in blue states that could easily put in motion a plan for all states. The Federal Government would not be able to intervene.  Take a look at the New Mexico State government who is following the Epstein illegal interactions in that state. This is the path to go down, the Epstein files, there are lots of oligarchs and powerful people in those files trying to do everything they can to keep them hidden. Just take a look at all the distractions, including the Iran war! I was beginning to feel helpless and hopeless until I realized that our Governors have a lot of power as states and when joined together as a whole to become a force to be reckoned with!</p><p>I am writing this as my hopeful expectation that our governors will awaken to their power and put into action a plan that could save our democracy.   A plan that would allow us to not have to count on the midterms to do everything, but let them be the strengthening tool of we the people!</p><p>Make it so!!!! </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY... ]]></title><description><![CDATA[So, here we are in a new year after surviving many years of change and perhaps uneasiness with our lives.]]></description><link>https://janewickenkamp.substack.com/p/how-are-you-doing-today</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://janewickenkamp.substack.com/p/how-are-you-doing-today</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jane Wickenkamp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 20 Feb 2021 18:42:17 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, here we are in a new year after surviving many years of change and perhaps uneasiness with our lives.  Usually, this can be a time for growth of our inner person so that we find a new strength to go forward without having to look back.  This is especially true for folks who may be a little older. Perhaps you have already gone through the phase of your life where you recalled past life events and wondered if you would do them any differently now. Perhaps you came to the conclusion that you would not change a thing and have come to terms with accepting that outcome.  If so, you are ready to move forward and be in the present reality of accepting where you are today. You may feel more optimistic by doing so and actually look forward to each new day. You can see the good in people and things all around you and you are able to contribute your positivity to whatever you decide to become involved with.</p><p>Life looks positive even when you encounter challenging times and people. You are able to call on your inner strength and project your positive attitude to all around you. <br>You are able to attract those who are drawn to your optimism and love for life. You are able to remain strong and yet empathic when you encounter negativity. Showing love instead of hate. Engaging with all regardless of faith, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or status in life. Accepting all as they are and for who they are is our life&#8217;s purpose. Being able to fight for freedom and equal justice under the law is our most important work in today&#8217;s society. We cannot move forward without seeing everyone as human beings and not as black, brown,Asian,Hispanic native Americans, or Caucasian.</p><p>Love must replace hate!! &#128149;</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today’s thoughts about life...]]></title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to Jane&#8217;s Newsletter by me, Jane Wickenkamp.]]></description><link>https://janewickenkamp.substack.com/p/coming-soon</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://janewickenkamp.substack.com/p/coming-soon</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jane Wickenkamp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 19 Feb 2021 18:19:06 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Jane&#8217;s Newsletter by me, Jane Wickenkamp.
