He had dreams. He wanted to help. He was my parents son. He held them in such high regard. My mom who went back to school to be a social worker in her 40’s. My dad who graduated high school and went back to school in his 40’s. They both had designs to bring peopleContinue reading “My twin”

We thought we’d live till 10
My twin brother and I, on the night before our 5th birthday, snuggled together. As we did on Christmas Eve. We fought with each other daily but actually loved each other and were there for each other. We had it in our minds, that age 10 was the oldest you could be. We could countContinue reading “We thought we’d live till 10”
What I’ve learned on my dad’s deathbed
How to Remain Positive
The state of affairs are grim at best right now in America. “The land of the free” is most definitely not. We have this new faction called ICE, whose main job is to obtain anyone who seems like they’re “not supposed to be here”. By that I mean, anyone who isn’t white, speaks with anContinue reading “How to Remain Positive”
Propaganda vs Zeitgeist
Everything put forth has an effect on public opinion. For instance: in this age of social media, things happening in Minnesota are being recorded and commented on. If we think of “the chicken before the egg” what we’re experiencing in a global sense is, the egg before the chick But, as Americans, we know theContinue reading “Propaganda vs Zeitgeist”

I’ve always been fascinated by this statement. Wars are fought by the bold. Many people die in defense of the bold. Many people celebrate the bold. Large amounts of people are killed as a result. “The meek” I always thought that meant “weak”. “Feeble” Not capable of anything. I don’t consider myself in the sameContinue reading “The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth”
Full Menopause
When we’re young girl’s going through puberty we learn to stay silent. I got my first period on a camp sleepover. I was 10 years old. I woke up and thought I was dying. I saw blood. Later, my mom told me what that was. I was “a woman”. It sounded like a threat. AllContinue reading “Full Menopause”
The Take Down of Women and the takedown of reasons.
Throughout history women have attempted to take power. It’s unfortunately seen as monstrous and unnatural. Even though the Bible clearly states “the meek shall inherit the earth.” The “meek” means smaller and lighter. Meaning women. Women are much smarter, less prone to war,therefore much more destined for sustained peace. This current regime means to undermineContinue reading “The Take Down of Women and the takedown of reasons.”
Thoughts as an American visiting England
England has the NHS. National Health Services. It’s not tied to your job, only your citizenship. Having just gotten back from there, I have some thoughts. They have a community that we don’t have here in The United States. We’re currently every man for himself. Arguably it’s always been that way. I took an UberContinue reading “Thoughts as an American visiting England”
What does it all mean
When my dad was moved to hospice I was terrified. On that day, I had the nerve to suggest to my mom that we see him to hospice then go home and come back the next day. She had the foresight to see that it was the end and we needed to stay where weContinue reading “What does it all mean”
