Dear Friends,       

Wow! Hard to believe, yet we are approaching the halfway mark for 2025. The concept of time is unique to each person. Time feels like it is flying for some, while others experience it at a slower pace. Princeton Professor Albert Einstein explained his Theory of Relativity as follows:

“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.”

It is useful for us to reflect on the first half of 2025 -- and then plan the second half. While life can be overwhelming, we should keep in mind that each month comes with new sensations and personalized gifts.

“The Months Poem” by Sara Coleridge reminds us to appreciate the unique charms of each month:

“January brings the snow,
makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.

March brings breezes loud and shrill,
stirs the dancing daffodil.

April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daises at our feet.

May brings flocks of pretty lambs,
Skipping by their fleecy damns.

June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children's hand with posies.

Hot July brings cooling showers,
Apricots and gillyflowers.

August brings the sheaves of corn,
Then the harvest home is borne.

Warm September brings the fruit,
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.

Fresh October brings the pheasants,
Then to gather nuts is pleasant.

Dull November brings the blast,
Then the leaves are whirling fast.

Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat.”

Below are two blog posts on family and employment law. The first post  Whether an Employer is Actively Engaged in DEI, It’s Still Illegal for Them to Discriminate and the second is called Fifty or Older and Getting Divorced? You Are Not Alone!

Please let us know if we may be helpful to your friends, your family, or you. Our primary practice areas remain family law, employment law for workers or management, and general civil and criminal/municipal court advocacy. If you need a lawyer here or elsewhere in practice areas we do not handle, then we will make appropriate referrals for you, free of charge.

Best,

Kingston Law Group
DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) has gotten a lot of press over the years and has become a lightning rod for love and criticism. The second Trump administration has made a point of attacking it (whatever they think DEI is), and it’s current, explicit federal policy to stamp it out wherever and whenever it can. Unless and until federal law changes, the (temporary or permanent) end of DEI does not green light illegal employment discrimination...

The share of America’s older population is growing, and that group is not shy about getting divorced. This combination creates record numbers of divorces for those who may have been married thirty or more years....
