People vote for who we see in the mirror. This is a comment a coworker said the day after Trump was elected. This appears to have a ton of wisdom in it. The truth of this may be too true.

Vote for Yourself
People vote for who we see in the mirror. This is a comment a coworker said the day after Trump was elected and I keep coming back to it with expanding connotations. Trump is an angry man that is thin skinned and attacks without thought to decorum. This person is reactionary with the absolute belief … Continue reading Vote for Yourself
NO FEE Submission call + editor interview —— Lost Sparrow Press, DEADLINE: Jan. 31, 2017

It’s time to relax Part II
What is here is staying here. You could go back and outlaw marriage. Outlaw abortion. These things will not go away. And you will not be the worse for it. Or our nation. Religion is good, but it did not keep our country together. Our framework and our education did. We have a good system … Continue reading It’s time to relax Part II

Michele Obama
12/20/16 Last night I watched Oprah interview Michelle Obama. I already thought she was a great person. So I went to facebook to find something about the interview to like. That is when I came across many angry white women railing against her. One post called her a pig. I was so angry. I wanted … Continue reading Michele Obama
Its time to relax. And shut up.
I was moved by Michele Obama when Oprah interviewed her, so I searched Facebook to see what people were saying. Big mistake. There was many negatives posts including a woman that called her a pig and some other animals. I wanted to comment to that woman's post. Call her the c-word. She is clearly a … Continue reading Its time to relax. And shut up.
