Ken and I moved to Maine for the quality of life we found here. It is a good place to live and has been the best place for us to raise a family. Often times the best way to know about a place and the people who live there is to observe what they consider important and how they treat each other. The following video, to the song "This Is Our Life" by Mary Beth Maziarz, is a beautiful illustration of families in Maine. This is who we are ~
The issue of marriage equality is on the minds of many Mainers and the law will be subject to a people's referendum at the polls in November. In Maine, like so many places, we don't all live the same way or have the same opinion about every issue. We are an independent lot, and our laws represent the respect we have for all people. Though change is hard for some, fairness and equality are always the right answer. This is how we live ~
It helps for me to know that the people of Maine are not alone in their desire for fairness and equality for all. This video is for my daughter, who loves all things from Ireland ~

Here's to all Mainers turning out to vote this fall! Enjoyed the clips.
I can't see the videos, but get a sense of contentment from your description. Feeling grateful for one's living space is important. I'm glad for you.
I love all three of these - the messages they send and the peaceful, nonconfrontational way they do so. It's nice to see something that isn't based on a scare tactic.
What a beautiful expression of love without limits, Sharon. Kudos and bows to MAINE! Yea! You tickled my heart big time with this one and gave me hope.
I love your foray into a social issue~! Great one too! Near and dear to my heart.
