Conversations with Mom
Mother’s Day was two weeks ago so naturally I have been thinking about my own mom. She passed in 1995 – 30 years ago. WOW…it’s hard to believe it was that long ago and how much has changed. I wouldn’t say that our relationship was close. Oh, I felt secure and had no worries growing … More Conversations with Mom
Instead of Reacting – Let’s Shout
Instead of reacting and talking about our current President, why don’t we shout out our own ideas? Cement those ideas into structures and then sell, sell, sell! There is too much stuff coming from this administration to try to keep up with and react/comment on. So stop it! I wrote the above as notes/reminders/title to … More Instead of Reacting – Let’s Shout
A Week Without Sugar
Last Friday I decided that I would go on a Sugar Strike. I would quit sugar cold-turkey. Maybe not the healthiest decision to make but I needed to break my sugar habit and going two weeks without sugar of any kind would, while not being easy, break it. I made it one day. But I’m … More A Week Without Sugar

My New Book
No…I didn’t write it but I am reading it. Should I run for something? Hmm…

Let me start off by saying I have very little knowledge in the area of funding provided to universities. Probably not a good way to start a post that you want people to read but…let me offer my opinion. I am so very worried about this loss of funding for universities – mainly because of … More University funding
The Declaration of Independence
Yesterday I started my post with a passage partially describing how people felt in 1930 Germany. Today, let’s go back 150 years to the 1770s. “They were declaring independence from what they considered to be tyrannical rule. The last part of the British Empire that Americans broke away from was actually the king, which is … More The Declaration of Independence
We are in a moment
“The Blood Purge of June 30, 1934, was a warning of how ruthless the new leaders could be. Yet the Nazi terror in the early years affected the lives of relatively few Germans and a newly arrived observer was somewhat surprised to see that the people of this country did not seem to feel that … More We are in a moment
I approve this message
I saved this quote, statement, passage…but have forgotten the source. Big time apologies! I do absolutely approve of the message… I am so frustrated with what is going on with the kidnapping by our government. These are not deportations…they are kidnappings. We are snatching people off the street for their ideas, their speech, their writings, … More I approve this message
