Seven, Thanks to You!
Another month has been spent, living, learning, laughing, lollygagging and here we are. Issue 7 has materialized and I’m amazed, as usual, at just what a group of passionate individuals can put together when they decide to join forces.

Six Months of Life After Hate
When I was about a year and a half old, my parents were building an addition to the plainish 1950s ranch house they had just bought.

¡Bienvenidos a la Vida despues de odio: numero cinco!
In the past 30 days, we’ve celebrated Earth Day and then Mother’s Day.

Will Fellows: Shall Not Be Recognized co-creator
“I view some of what’s going on in the political arena, this roller-coaster going back and forth, as just a natural process of cultural change happening. It’s not all going to happen in a neat all-at-once kind of way. It’s going to go this way and then that way and forward and backward, and then lurch left and right.”
Sammy Rangel “FOURBEARS: Myths of Forgiveness”
FourBears: The Myth of Forgiveness: isn't a simple memoir; it is a graphically illustrated guide from tortured child, to remorseless beast, to healing and change. This book is about helping others find their way out of their history and into the here and now. Proof that what once held you down can now hold you up. After the book reflects on a horrific upbringing it looks to offer key and ground breaking insights of the inner workings of the mind of a victim and later a perpetrator of hate and violence. Service providers working in treatment centers and institutional settings would greatly benefit from this work. Anyone facing issues with forgiveness and change might find a process toward healing and recovery.
