Humbling times
What a year, right? A TON has happened, and I cannot actually believe we’re in the last quarter of the year already. Not only did the year literally fly by, but it was loaded with …life. Life happened in full this year. In all the fear, riots, sickness, job losses, isolation, threats of sickness, lack…Read more Humbling times
Notes from a Crisis
To say that life has changed in the last two weeks would be an understatement. A more close-to-reality statement would be that all of life hit a major pause button. It’s like when you watch a scene on TV with a speed setting that is fast-forwarding it all and then you suddenly have the scene…Read more Notes from a Crisis
The Forgotten Kiddos
To be honest with you, I don’t really know how to go about writing this post. In fact, it is more likely to be my first of several but I find it vital to at least start the conversation. What’s the issue? Well, I have only more recently found myself drawn to the reality of…Read more The Forgotten Kiddos
People are such tools.
** WARNING: Long-ish post. Well worth the read, though.** Sooo, I’ve had cause recently to look back on 2019 a few times.

In my opinion, all of life is…Read more People are such tools.

A perfect reflection
Recently, I was greatly impacted by the reality of Jennifer Rothschild’s life. This is a gorgeous woman who, when she speaks, gives off no reason for you to think of her in any way differently. You got it; she’s a wife and a mother, but the lilt in her voice betrays an enduring youth within…Read more A perfect reflection
Beauty or bust
I was impacted recently by the life story of an actress from the 40s and 50s. I absolutely stumbled across the movie/docu and I’m ever so glad I did! I both learned new things and was reminded of other equally vital truths. First off, she was literally stunning. I am a woman, and I…Read more Beauty or bust
What’s this world coming to?
There are many things that cause me to stop and think these days. When I see how messed up the world’s values are (where someone like this rebellious teen, infamous for being willing to physically fight her own mother and whoever else, is “rewarded” with a sold-out show while many honest people are toiling away…Read more What’s this world coming to?
Stomp it out!
For some, it manifests through sudden strange scary thoughts when they’re alone; for others it shows up as panic attacks; and for yet others, it is noticeable when the idea of interacting with others (one-on-one or in a group of whatever size) creates a feeling of near dread within. In all these cases, the people…Read more Stomp it out!
