Just NO

Please no military parade!

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is completely aware we are THE powerhouse.

According to a Business Insider report from October of 2015, we outspent #2 (Russia, of course) by $516.5 BILLION. Our active personnel is just short of double. Why in the world would we need to spend tax dollars on a parade when we have hungry children, veterans who need more and better mental and health care, the citizens of Puerto Rico are still suffering and just so many other things that those resources could be better spent on.

    Apparently, his fragile needy ego needs a boost. Cadet Bone Spurs wants people to salute him and applaud him, just like any other third world dictator.

    Mr Tiny Hands needs to prove that his dick is bigger than anyone's.

    Ah but a good dictatorship always has a military parade for themselves don't they? It would be horrible to spend that money on the people, like veteran care, Walter Reed is a hot mess, or our infrastructure which is also a very hot mess in this country, or medical for his people. You know there are a plethora of things this country could use that money on. But hey let's play who's d-k is bigger, that's important for an egomaniacal dictator.

    It frightens me, what we have unleashed upon this country. I hope our democracy can endure three more years of this dangerous administration.

    I've even heard people from the military say it's a tremendous expense and waste of both money and time when troops could be doing something actually useful. We sound more and more like a dictatorship. We HAVE to vote in the 2018 and I hope Mueller can do his work fast while he still has a job.

We pass by the house frequently since it sits on a busy thoroughfare. We know to look every time we pass and guess what will we see. Will it be the two Dalmatians, sitting on the couch that backs up to the giant panel window, waiting for their human to come home? Or will it be their human, sitting slightly to the right of middle (allowing for a better view of the giant mounted tv across the room) of the said couch. They are never there at the same time. It’s one or the other. One sleepless night, when my body was willing but my brain was not, I did a little sleuthing. It’s amazing what you can find out about a complete stranger.   His name is Gary and, from what I can tell, he’s never been married. He has worked his way up in a air duct company. He’s now the senior VP but it’s a small company and he still goes out on jobs, judging from  the reviews on Yelp. I know he has two siblings and that their father passed away in 2018. His memorial was held in a Buddhist temple and Gary sr. soun

Go!

 Vai. E, se der medo, vai con medo mesmo. When one is raised in an angry family, it’s not enough to say I don’t want to be angry. You must learn how to do it differently. That’s no easy task. If judgment and self hatred became a way of life, a new way to live has to be taught. There are many ways to do it. Reading, writing, sharing, practicing all help the change. Counseling, psychoanalysis, religion, meditation, gratitude, have the ability to transform but I needed to see it in action, it needed to be more tangible, visual, accessible. I needed to understand the possibilities. There is a YouTube channel that I watch over and over again in order to absorb how to live more fully, more open and from the heart. One of the first episodes that I stumbled on is this…. The channel is Reflections of Life and through it we get to meet people who are doing life a little differently, often more soul based. People who are living life, healing wounds and finding what is truly important.  It can be

Let's Be Perfectly Clear

I would like your input on this letter I am considering sending out. Darryl, I once considered you, if not a friend, a very friendly acquaintance. Our daughters are the same age. I am sure that your daughter is as special to you as mine is to me. McKenna is 21 years old and starting out her life with some tough situations. SHE IS NOT AN OBJECT. She is a person who has her ups and downs, her struggles and triumphs. She has, in the past year, completely alone, had to make scary medical decisions for her mentally ill, addicted father. She has had to watch as the man who was an amazing father slowly turn into a shell of a man who has little to give and much to take. Whether purposefully or accidentally, you have added to her already difficult year. I wonder…would you appreciate my ex-husband leering and making inappropriate comments to your daughter over the course of a long evening? Think about that for a moment!  What were you hoping to achieve with your behavior? Whether
