The New Citizens Press

Although it is a practice of mine to celebrate Black women 365 days of the year, I stand with the rest of the U.S, as we take these 28 days in February especially to highlight and bring awareness to amazing women doing positive things in the world.

Using the example of religion, we see the power of words. Words were used to create the earth, command the stars and to help us communicate with one another.

Dear Cathy,

I need your help. I am over 70 years old and I recently lost my dog of over 10 years.  He was adopted along with the cat I had who also recently passed after 18 years with me. I have been looking to adopt now since the beginning of 2020.  I located a rescue group and after a home check was approved to adopt. At this point in my life, I do not want a puppy. I would like an older dog, something small to keep me and my husband company. A dog would also encourage us to walk more.
