Our family has avoided vaccines for some time. I began to educate myself when my oldest boys were little. Of my five, only my three oldest have had any. We live in Florida where the kids have religious exemptions from vaccination for their attendance in public school. I am grateful to COVID for bringing concernsContinue reading “Vaccine Truth”

Holidays Without Your Kids 😢🎄🤶
When you are a single mom the first holiday without your kids can be devastating. This year my kids were with me the last week of school and we tried to incorporate some fun pre-Christmas activities. For example we decorated pre-baked cookies. When they were really little my Mom was still alive and would bringContinue reading “Holidays Without Your Kids 😢🎄🤶”

Why is the government the only one asking about our race? In completing forms for private businesses I cannot recall a time when I was asked to provide my race.

My usual green smoothie recipe is baby spinach, some baby kale, cucumber, celery & ginger root, all organic, with filtered water. But it’s the time of year to add a bit of fall color to my usual green drink (still comes out green, no worries!) with the addition of fresh cranberries and orange. Yum!

Has anyone considered what elevating this value, taken to its logical extreme, would look like? I am not advocating any value replace it because IContinue reading “Kindness”
Community and Grace
I love this resource as well as Attorney Rebecca Zung’s YouTube videos on the same subject. Here Renee talks about a narcissist’s constant state of unhappiness and the victim’s attempts to arrange their life to please him or her. I myself agreed to sell my dream house and move to another state where I couldContinue reading “Community and Grace”

It is called Hyde Park and depicts a historic San Francisco, including Alcatraz in the background. We had visited San Francisco together on a big impromptu road trip shortlyContinue reading “End of an Era”
