Normal is a word I previously used to describe other people. Basically that definition included being part of a well adjusted two parent family of one race, living in a nice house owning nice things, and traveling on real vacations. I spent most of my life trying to fit in to this mold and expecting […]
I like the point about protesting the USDA and the FDA. If big business won’t listen than it is up to our political representatives to listen. After all our officials appoint former chem/agri-execs into offices like the EPA. It’s embarrassing! “Maybe the next marches need to take place against agencies like the USDA and the […]
How will you find happiness when the world is so dark you can’t see, you are so sad you can’t smile, and fear immobilizes you? What if you can’t afford to see a therapist for help? Where do you turn if you don’t want to join a church for “free” counseling? What if you don’t […]
I spent years calling myself ugly. As a gangly, uneven toothed, frizzy haired, flat chested, acne sprouting teenager all I wanted was to be pretty and I fully believed the mean girls and the media that told me I was ugly. I spent all my money on clothes, makeup, and fashion magazines that made me […]
I have read enough about GMO food to dislike it and even more about Monsanto to despise their company practices. (HELLO Monsanto helped create agent orange which has destroyed so much and so many in Vietnam). GMO’s threaten organic and native crops around the world. It’s akin to planting invasive weeds which as the majority […]
A few weeks ago I was getting the brakes on my bike fixed. The guy explained to me how this bike is too small for me. I agree that it is for long rides, but great for going to the store or a 10 mile ride. I replied that it wasn’t something I wanted to […]
Have you heard the joke about what happens when a nun and 2 peace activists break into a nuclear weapons production facility? Neither have I, but I read the article about what happened in real life. It’s both disturbing and ridiculous. Three people, a woman(a nun) and two men, cut through two chain fences to […]
Do you see people as problems to overcome, as disappointments, as enemies? These are question I asked myself after reading the book, “Anatomy of Peace” by the Arbinger Institute. It was written by two men from the Middle east; one Jewish, one Arab, who both lost their fathers to each others “ethnic cousins” in war. […]
“It’s the little things that count” VS “Don’t sweat the small stuff”. I don’t know what happened to everything I wrote for this post. Let’s try it again. Like the writer of the Treasure Trove, my mood has been lifted by an impish grin and also digging in the garden on a beautiful day. Life […]
