  • Belief and the Age of Insistence

    My thoughts on truth on justice on empathy? On how things don’t just go one way and how abandoning victims to victimhood is a violence all its own.

  • Maybe a lot of you are too young or too straight to remember the AIDS crisis. I’m not. It took my cousin, whom I loved deeply. He was one of the few people in my life that I felt really understood me. It wasn’t until after he was dead from a horrible disease that I

  • I arrived home from a visit to my home town and found a little package from an organization called Find Your Anchor.  It was the most beautiful little package.  I am in love with it.  This little blue box is filled with reminders of what there is to live for, and why I am a

  • Rise and Shine

    I should be working on my presentation for class on Tuesday.  But there is a lot that I need to get out of the way and onto a page before I have space enough in my mind for what should be worked on.  Night after night there are images that flash and a barrage of

  • Patience and Perseverance

    I have this great relationship in my life.  It’s with a rock.   No, seriously.  It’s a little quartz bit that is shaped to a point and it hangs from a chain.  It’s a pendulum, and it is changing my life with all sorts of insights. Today it told me that “What’s going on” with

  • I AM PRO-THRIVE

    Recently, I have noticed that many people on Facebook have a purple banner at the bottom of their profile picture that reads, “I AM PRO-LIFE”.     Now, I am not one to condemn free expression, since I love my own and hate when people try to silence me.  But those little banners annoyed the

  • Accidentally

    My dad left only about two hours ago, and already I have realized that I accidentally left my handicapped parking placard in his vehicle.  I suppose this is one accident less than the two from his visit just weeks before, when he accidentally took my spare keys and accidentally left his air mattress and pump.
