Independence~  Fact or Fiction

I just answered a young man’s post, and after I reread it, I thought this may need to be shared. I often write from some emotion I’m experiencing. I often write from my heart. Tonight, I wrote from both, as well as a deep, sharp pain stirring within me. After reading comments from young people […]

We the People… a fractured land… ’tis not so much a fairy tale

Another day, another arrest of an American citizen. Another day, another deportation of an American citizen. The king has declared that it is fine and dandy to arrest American citizens who do not match his idea of an American. According to the king’s parameters, you must be born in the USA, you must be lily […]

These Words…

“We the People, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” THESE WORDS MEAN SOMETHING TO ME! These […]

In the Avenue.. 5th Avenue

I know, I know. I need to turn off the TV and radio. I need to put on an old record that soothes and pulls me back… back… far, far away from the hatred and fear infecting our country today. Yet, here it is, just  staring us in the face… A birthday parade to deflect […]

Orwell’s 1984 Revisited

It’s ORWELL’S 1984 come to life… he depicted this time so vividly in his novel. And with deep sadness, I recognize that we are in it for real. How and why this monstrous admin is allowed to continue their hitleristic nazi movement is beyond me. This is our America, which immigrants built. This is our […]

Beat of My Heart…

Tonight’s blog came about when I responded to a post about Joe Biden.  Joe often gets a bum’s wrap when people discuss his leadership. However, I also am a quiet person, but I don’t ever imagine myself as less than others because I’m quiet. Even though I’m not always “seen” as a great orator, I […]

Life, Liberty, and the Pusuit of …

I grew up in the red dirt of East Texas, walking barefoot everywhere, and never worrying about much. Freedom came easy back then. I spent my days climbing trees, listening to the birds sing, playing hard, and then snuggling under my bed covers at night feeling tired, safe, and worn out. When Autumn came, my […]

What’s Wrong with Long Beautiful Hair in Schools… this debate has been going on for 50+ years! Why? Why? Why? How can long hair deter learning?

As far back as the 1960’s, this issue has raged throughout society. Those in charge felt they should be able to discriminate hair length based on gender. Hair length for boys and men determined whether they were admitted into many public places, such as churches and schools. Today, it shocked me to hear this argument […]
