A book called In Praise of Love was mentioned to me and I started to read it. However, there were things about it that bothered me so I had my own philosophy of love compared and contrasted with it. What emerged was quite fascinating.

As an American living in this time and place, I am struck by how foreign I feel. I listen to other voices, read comments, and writings from many people. None of them describes my experience. I see many expressions of fear, anxiety, jealousy, anger, hatred. And this is AFTER I quit X.
On Hate...
Photo by Alex Andrews on Pexels.com There is very little in this world that I hate. The only thing that springs to mind is road kill. I absolutely hate seeing small, dead animals. Yet every time I drive somewhere, an adolescent possum, or baby skunk, or even worse a squirrel or bunny, has been slaughtered by a careless driver. There is no shortage of behaviors and actions that people take that…

It's so important to just be yourself. Love who you are, for both your strengths and your weaknesses. You have quirks, a combination that no one else has. That's what makes you unique.

Let's talk about drinking alcohol
I mostly got drinking out of my system as a teenager in Alabama. When I was 15 and 16, I had a couple of awful experiences drinking so it kind of turned me off. As an adult, I had some very negative experiences with alcoholics. I had to come to terms with the truth that I cannot be in relationship with an alcoholic because of the chaos they bring into your life. It’s a disease, so I felt awful…
Sinners, Leaders, and Stars
The mystical lighting of Sinners I saw the film Sinners on HBO and as soon as it started, I was reminded of being in film class. Was it the cinematography? The fact that it was captured on film definitely impacted my perception, even though when I watched it, I didn’t know Ryan Coogler had insisted on film. There is a quality to film that defies easy explanation. Perhaps it is the way it captures…

Reunion 2025
I have just returned from my 15th college reunion at my alma mater, Hollins University. I went back to college as a grown up, when I was 37. They have a program there called the Horizons program, where adults can return to college and participate in everything a regular student would. When I attended, I did just that. I fenced, I was on student council, I was the Spiritual and Religious Life…

Breaking the Two-Party System: A Call for Independents
A solution to the two party system for the rest of America (neither right, nor left but Independent) Well, I’ve had about enough of the horrifying version of America that we are in at the moment. I’ve been working on a political platform for about a year now and I think now would be a good time to share it. Let me know what you think. Excerpt from the Pragmatic Party Platform: The Pragmatic…
Love is not love...
If you know the rest of that sonnet from William Shakespeare you will know something of what love can be and has been for me. As I’ve written before, giving unconditional love is its own reward. When you love someone, it’s not an investment with a rate of return. It’s simply a gift. You recognize something beautiful and special in another soul, and it engenders love. You recognize it, love, and…

My trip to L.A. started with my 3:00 a.m. alarm. I was already packed, so I just had to shower, pack up my last few toiletries and get dressed to go. Since I would arrive at the airport by 5 a.m. I made no plans for breakfast. After checking my bag and making it through security, I waited for the Starbucks across from my gate to open and got in line for my fave drink of the moment and some…

Tomorrow is a New Adventure
Because tomorrow I leave for Los Angeles to see BTS on December 2! This will be my first time seeing them live and the first time I will be surrounded by 60,000 fellow ARMY. There will be ARMY at my hotel. I will wait in line with them. Be among, them dance with them. It’s sure to be an amazing experience. In preparation, I’ve already gotten full platinum highlights with shadowy violet painted on…
