So, I have been doing this thing. You know, where, you trade one protective instinct for another. I mean, let’s be honest, I can downplay it, and give you all the reasons, but the reality is, I have been approaching the world weapons drawn. Over the past year, a lot has been blamed on my … More I’m a Bit Prickly.
It has been a while. A long while. And I have tried really hard to stay quiet. But, in truth, I am bursting at the seams. These little quips and comments come frothing forth, and I can’t hold them in. No one likes a “Negative Nancy.” I get it. We all want people to be … More Shhh…Nope.
This election cycle has brought forth some of the most uncomfortable rhetoric I remember hearing in America in my lifetime.

But notice, there has been no change in your rights to say and feel how you choose. That … More The Changing of the Guard
Baffled. I guess. That might be the best word. I haven’t commented much on the Dolezal event because, well frankly, what is there that I could say? I don’t understand it. I don’t have experience that speaks to it. And I have read articles about it, even ones claiming to explain the situation, and there … More Making it up as we go
Views varied, perspectives perplex Words slung from angles: Detached, derailed, deranged. We form a line and We March. Against each other. Truths passed from ear to ear Like a childish game, all Teams picked until the last man stands We form a line and We March. Against each other. Words are anything but simple.
