Blink And You’ll Miss It!


This is Wayne.

Wayne, well educated white male, puts his own face on a giant billboard telling us how he, yes WONDERFUL him, is empowering females to be their best.

Is it because he has some women working beneath him and his partner son, allowing them to give exemplary client service?  Is he paying those women an extremely generous salary so they can achieve their dreams?  Or is it that he gives his women clients special advice or a big discount for his unique services? 

He likes tooting his own horn that’s for sure. Do we need Wayne to empower us? Did you ask him to empower you? Does he know what our best is?

He may, in fact, somehow be empowering females to be “their best” but he missed this one by a mile.

    I would be a bit concerned about what Wayne thinks is 'their best.' I am guessing that Wayne and I would not be on the same page about that. Not even close, I bet. He certainly has a healthy ego.

      He seems to think rather highly of Himself and his charitable work. I'm of the mindset that if you are going to do it, don't scream it to the world. I think the bible even speaks to that.

      It does indeed! I would be curious about how much of the $$$ donated go to actually helping people and how much to line Wayne's pockets! Or to buy billboard ads tooting his own horn!

    Oh jeez. I watched a talk show last night where three male politicians debated the legal aspects of a case where a female gynecologist was sentenced to a huge penalty for giving online advice re abortion options. They were so full of themselves, I actually threw something at the tv. I am a mild woman in her mid 60s, normally. The gynecologist did not break any law BTW.

      Whaaaaaa!?!?!?!?! Isn't amazing, the audacity of men who think they should be able to not only weigh in on Women's issues, but to regulate and punish?

      It shows up for me: https://vonborstel.com/

      Tells us all about the orphans he is helping. He's probably a decent guy just clueless.

      Ain't it the truth? Luckily they're not all that way.

    Makes me wonder how he knows how to empower women to be their best. What a guy!

    Good grief! I’d like to talk to some of those women…

Private Eye

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

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

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
