Guidance and Outcome Readings for America
Instead of doing my usual review, this week I am offering two readings for my great country, the United States of America, in its time of trouble. Included are trends, advice for leaders, and advice for people, as well as the final outcomes of these events. As we mourn, we can continue to grow and to learn, and build a new and better world. We can live our ideals. The future outlook may be better than we can see currently through the smoke of the ruins. While we heal, let us accept help and give help. Let us give thanks to our allies. Our enemy is hate, and hate is always weaker than love.
