BEFORE WE BEGIN THIS NEW YEAR

 

This blue butterfly became a certain woman's chosen symbol of transformation!

JANUARY 2026'S POSTS WILL BEGIN TOMORROW 

 

WISHING YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2026!

 

Yes, my friends, I do plan to keep blogging here at Mistress Manifesto!  

In the past I may have mentioned how I decide on subjects, how I elect a person to my pantheon of Mistresses of the Month and so on. In general, I rarely have many months ahead planned. I go along - organically - and sometimes the inspiration to seek out information about a certain person comes out of nowhere! A book picked up at a garage sale, for instance!

Well, I'm open to your suggestions, particularly if you've read a book that you think I should read. Leave me a comment with a link and I'll consider it!

There have been times when I cancelled an entire month and substituted another subject, and since one of my friends asked me why I will tell you:  I know my readers desire to know more about the very modern, contemporary, Mistress, especially Classic Mistresses, but when I find out that a particular person has children who have not established themselves in adulthood, I hesitate. 

As you read this, I have three months of Mistress Manifesto, read, researched, written, though not yet posted. I truly hope you will come back here and follow the narrative!

Happy Days Ahead!

K9'S FOR WARRIORS : VETERANS WITH POST TRAUMATIC STRESS TEAMED WITH LOVING SERVICE DOGS!

K9S FOR WARRIORS   What a wonderful effort!

Excerpt:

Roughly 20 Veterans die by suicide every day, and over 1,000 dogs are euthanized. K9s For Warriors exists because of a fierce dedication to saving the lives of both Veterans and rescue dogs. This program is backed by scientific research and empowers Veterans who fought for our freedom to live a life of independence. Graduates of the program are able to live a life of renewed purpose and independence, that they previously did not think was possible. Many have reunited with their families, gone back to school, restored their relationships with family, and significantly reduced their medications.

What fun!  Thank you Sherry Stahl!

NO KILL ANIMAL SHELTERS

I wish I could expand this list to include other countries. What you must do it try to find a local shelter that is clear about their intentions. You want to adopt a healthy dog. It might be a dog that is older and does have some health issues that require medical attention. There may be organizations that will help you get that medical care or other things you need to have a pet. (I'm counting on you to have the love!)

NO KILL NETWORK : CALIFORNIA LIST

FETCH PET : NORTH SHORE ANIMAL LEAGUE  (And list of programs including Humane Relocation Program and Senior Programs)  OVER 2000 shelters in a network. 

WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
