America Needs Therapy: the importance of connecting with those different from us, fight the fear and listen to one another.

A few things need to be said before reading this: this is an analysis of the root of the behavior we are seeing right now. It’s obvious but i will make it clear just in case someone misinterpret this post: white supremacy is evil and there is absolutely zero excuse for it. Same goes for bigotry, racism and any kind of hatred. We, however, spend so much time stating these obvious facts and hating…

Quick Sunday reflection on this week’s news

Sometimes, I can’t help but ask myself, “how the hell did we get here?” This is Not the America I love and respect. I’ve always been fascinted by American politics and had high hopes for our country after we elected Barack Obama. I think electing him just woke up racism though. Well, let me rephrase that, racism has always been alive but during the Obama terms, it was in the limelight. So we…

Silver lining, a glimpse of hope in finding refuge in our community.

We have gone too far as a nation, as a people, to simply resign…

Trump presidency: why we can’t get over it and what we can do.

Like half the country, I have been sad and worried about the outcome of Tuesday’s election. I have also been very busy and wished I could have put pen to paper earlier. In this essay, I will address a few different things. First, I want to talk about why it is important to act and not get over it like many Trump voters are trying to encourage us to do. I will also discuss President Obama and…

Halloween candy alternative for health conscious parents

Trick and treating is fun and a huge part of our culture but it doesn’t mean we have to give our kids poison and/or our money to big corporations. It’s easy to switch out candy your kids get while trick or treating. Tell your kids you need to inspect the candy and replace it with any of the approved candy. If/when they can question you, ne honest and explain why you feel you can provide better…

My take on the world of ballet education.

It has been a while. I know. A lot has happened since I was here. Part of the problem is that I didn’t have a computer for a year. Being poor is not always easy. But this will be discussed later on. Writing can really be an outlet for so much. It can be healing in so many ways. It is sad our kids these days don’t write anymore. I started writing really young. I would make up stories and even act…

Sometimes, smart people do really stupid things; beautiful people, ugly things; respectable people, offensive things. So many names come to mind, people whom we loved and made mistakes or caught us by surprise by doing something we thought they would…

Everything is ok

Today is my birthday. I started the day feeling down, for so many reasons: an old friend of mine picked My Birthday to bring up some things that were hurtful, I am all alone today since I have been jobless since Monday. I went to get a massage that turned…
