Thursday- I am thankful for…
dogs. Our dog is nothing but love and happiness on four feet. Harley Quinn is a companion, a snuggler and a smile. If you have a dog that loves you then you know what it’s like to be their human. It is a privilege.

Tuesday- I am thankful for…
instant communication. What if we had no way to communicate as things happen? I think about the past and how long it took information to travel. Often if it didn’t happen close to home you never knew it. Now, we can hear about things almost in real time. Think about the way you communicate with…

People > Things
We have lots of things. Rooms full of things. We can have all the things we want. No one will stop us. That is fine if you have space for all the things. What is not fine is putting the importance of things above the value of people. Spending time with things and ignoring the…

Family is What You Make it
Family. I have one, we all do. Human families are multi-generational and consist of multi-species. My dog is my fur baby and certainly family. We have two families. The one we are born in to and the one we choose. Blood makes one and trust makes the other. There can be love in both. Families…

Do Not Hurt Yourself…
Striving for Perfection on Christmas. There are some things you do not know about me. There are some hidden things I keep tucked inside my soul. I do my best to be as transparent as a writer can be. I will answer any question honestly and often without sugar-coating it so the truth is easier…
