Just watched this. Wow! As a survivor of sexual abuse it hit home. I remember this case. I along with everyone condemned her. She killed her kid so she could party like most people in their early 20’s. That was the narrative. How could she smile when her child was missing? Why was her childContinue reading “Casey Anthony Doc”

The progress of women in the recent past from the pov of an almost “older” woman
I grew up in a passively sexist society. The 1980’s. This time warranted the song “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. I can relate. I washed dishes while my brother, the same age, was left to his own devices with his transformers and his castle grey skull. My She-Ra and little ponies wouldContinue reading “The progress of women in the recent past from the pov of an almost “older” woman”

Happy F’ing New Year
A lot was wrong this year. Some things were very right. Not All is lost.
Give yourself a gift and recognize a gift
Everyday I judge myself for the things I haven’t done. I don’t have kids. I don’t own a business. I haven’t changed the world as a whole. What if, helping an older lady up the stairs on the subway platform was enough. What if deciding to be positive today was enough. What if saying, excuseContinue reading “Give yourself a gift and recognize a gift”
Another man’s trash: Why You should mindful of want you say
We don’t all understand what the other has been through. What they’ve experienced throughout their lives. What upsets one may not upset the other. What is wonderful to one is triggering to another. Let’s talk about the word “triggering.“ Some may think it means to gently annoy. Or to make someone roll their eyes orContinue reading “Another man’s trash: Why You should mindful of want you say”

The drama of the 90’s
Remember how dramatic everything was in the 90’s? Maybe it’s because I was a teenager then but I think things were different. And super extra. This song is a perfect example. Band: Type O Negative music.apple.com/us/album/summer-breeze/214401805
