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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Thank you!

I feel so blessed by each of you who visit my site! My ultimate goal started as a way to share the joy of writing with each of you. However, this year, my focus has been deterred by our political climate. I do apologize to each of you for getting off track. I feel so […]

By the Dawn’s Early Light

The USA has, since WW2, been allies and defenders of the free world. My dad and Uncle fought in WW2. My husband and his brother both fought in Vietnam. They did not go because our country was physically under attack. They did not go just because they were “called up.” They went because they were […]

Return to Warsaw

I feel as though I have been transported back to the 1940’s, and our countrymen are all rallying to fight against one of the cruelest, most hated dictators of all time, Adolf Hitler. However, this is 2025 in the USA. It has been almost 100 years since the holocaust. It takes me a minute to […]

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 […]

Freedom, Lord, Came Easier…

Freedom of speech is only one of the rights we still have access to today. Each day, some new atrocity occurs. Today, an American president stated that he plans to reinstate a 1748 law that states all people who are not “like him” can be placed in interment camps like the Japanese were in W.W.2. […]

The Declaration of Independence

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript Read every word! What took place in 1776 by the mad ravings of a king is now happening again in our United States. The difference being… today, we hear the mad ravings of a would be King “dump” rather than a cruel king of England in the 1700’s. Shall we allow our United States […]
