Take me to your Leader
We currently are between leaders. Technically we have a president, still. He leaves office in January, maybe. This uncertainty is causing extreme anxiety for some people. It is out of the hands of the humans who are upset. Sit back and let the system work. There is no infallible system of government. You have to…

Traditionally I’m Over It
I want to skip the holiday this week. That would be selfish. Americans love their USA holidays. It’s so much stress and does not fit into my focused simple life plan. My children don’t like traditional Thanksgiving food. Often we serve alternative meals. This year we are, for the first time, going to a restaurant…

Accolades in the Wild
Isn’t it wonderful when out of the blue you get a complement from someone you had no idea even considered you important or someone who you think didn’t notice you? Amazing what a nice word or two can do coming from the right person.

Rocks in The Head

Out of Office
How many times a week do I sit down and my writing muse does not show up to play? Let us just say several. No matter what you do creatively if inspiration doesn’t strike you, leave it alone. Walk away. Sometimes an idea will hit you when you are thinking about something else. Don’t get…

Give a Little
If you give a little kindness you will always get more back than you give. It may not be the same day or the same person to give it to you that you gave kindness too, however good will always return good. Fact.

Love and Hate
I disagree that there is a fine line between love and hate. Rather than two monsters sitting on opposite sides of a line they can exist at the same time. You can love someone and hate them at the same time. This is not a good place to live. It’s a toxic thing. Don’t take…
