Never Again

January 17, 2024

Saying this to myself about some things is a really great feeling. It’s especially nice when I feel very sincere and confident about saying this about something important.

You’r pretty smart, aren’t you?

November 7, 2022

A knife is a very sharp instrument in a very narrow space. We are each very qualified, intense, clear in our chosen fields. And, often, not so clear in other areas. A sledge hammer is broadly destructive but has no clear or precise target. I‘d rather be a knife.

Big Brother

Some folks think that the internet is watching us for other than benefical reasons. Here is a graphic of what GOOGLE monitors. You be the judge – which most of us / you are anyway.

American Women 2022

June 27, 2022

This is so sad and is becoming true! Will we, as a country, stand by, again and allow this removal of personal rights to become our new truth as we are doing about gun control and voting rights? Can the Democrats actually take some cohesive action against these anti-democratic laws and actions of the Republicans […]

US Female Bodies Have No Rights

June 24, 2022

Roe V Wade was overturned by the United States’ Supreme Court on Friday Jun 24 2022. This is disgraceful. There are no words – BUT VOTES COUNT!

I am sure that many people have been watching the news lately and that one of the highest impact topics has been about our, the United States’, history of racial practices (that’s such an insufficient word: practices). For many of my years, I have been aware of how non-white people have been poorly treated in […]

Proximacy is the new Intimacy

March 25, 2020

Proximacy is the new Intimacy. Our COVID-19 shutdown response is creating a desire to get closer to people simply because we can’t. A neighbor and good friend of ours called and asked if they could come over to stand outside and socialize from six feet away. Of course, we said yes and put our coats […]

Regrets

March 13, 2020

“Regrets, I’ve had a fewbut then, again, too few to mention” How many times and from how many people have you heard these regrets: I wish I hadn’t worked so much I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends I wish I had […]
