I Will Not Go Quietly into That Dark Night

Lead, do not follow. Speak up, do not remain silent. His goal is moving our country to an authoritarian dictatorship. Eyes wide open or Eyes clamped shut. What example do you want to set for your children? Your grandchildren? Do we stand and fight for our first amendment rights. Do we stand behind our Constitution […]

Still I Rise…

As a native Texan, I love my state. And today, I am heartbroken by the devastation that has occurred in one of my most beloved areas of Texas… the hill country. Last night, after hearing about the massive flooding occurring along the Guadalupe, as well as children and camp counselors missing from a summer camp […]

Be Still My Heart

Recently, a person who holds an office within our federal government mandated that FEMA be phased out. FEMA stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This agency warns, rescues, and assists when a state or national emergency is imminent. This agency aids state efforts in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters. Their early warning system has […]

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 […]

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 […]
