On Camp

This is an accolade to camp. As a child I attended summer camps for one or two weeks or a few days at a time over the summer, sometimes a few different camps during a summer break. Never for the entire summer as some kids especially in the east do. It was mostly a lovelyContinue reading “On Camp”

On Loss

It is so hard always having to ignore or pretend that I have only 3 children when I have….had? 5. The questions from people about my children are dreaded and embarrassing. Sometimes I answer vaguely, dishonestly. Not wanting to admit my two oldest children are not here on earth anymore. Sometimes I just say theyContinue reading “On Loss”

On Suicide Prevention

Reader advisory: This post contains information on suicide which could be upsetting to some. There is much out there on suicide prevention and awareness. But can we prevent suicide? I speak from personal experience, having lost two of my five children to suicide. Myth: Those who attempt suicide will first speak about their intentions. Truth:Continue reading “On Suicide Prevention”

A Thoughtful Discourse on Abortion

Abortion is not or should not be a political issue. It has become so as the result of some positive evolutions, including the freedoms of women and the technological and medical ability to keep even very premature babies alive outside of the mother. Unwanted pregnancy has always existed. In former times it was dealt withContinue reading “A Thoughtful Discourse on Abortion”

Our Kids

Today I was thinking on the issue of so many kids having issues in school, with ADHD, autism, sensory issues, allergies, and every condition in between. In essence, having a student with issues in the school system has basically become the norm. At first I hypothesized in my conspiratorially minded way that the parents, andContinue reading “Our Kids”

On Germs and the Constitution

I really appreciate the point highlighted in the book The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F. Kennedy., Jr.: The founding fathers were well aware of the ravaging effect epidemics of disease can cause, familiar with smallpox and malaria slaying their troops. Yet…they refused to include in our Constitution an exception allowing for the suspension ofContinue reading “On Germs and the Constitution”

Wisdom 💬💎

The South wanted slaves to count as full persons for voting purposes. The North wanted them to count as 3/5. Is this because the North thought less of blacks than the South? No. It is because the North was so against slavery they wanted the practice to end. Counting slaves as full persons would haveContinue reading “Wisdom 💬💎”

On Ayn Rand and Abortion: A Critical Review of the Book “Why the Right to Abortion is Sacrosanct”

I recently listened to a fireplace chat by Dennis Prager where he said that he felt the Left fails to acknowledge the moral issues in their abortion stance. A friend recently gave me a booklet entitled Why the Right to Abortion is Sacrosanct. This is a booklet written by Ben Bayer in an attempt toContinue reading “On Ayn Rand and Abortion: A Critical Review of the Book “Why the Right to Abortion is Sacrosanct””

a little about a LOT

I love this podcast where one of my favorite commentators, Ben Shapiro, calls out the reliance upon an elite expert class. Shapiro is always so wise and witty. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0lkPW2R35RUv1EDpCvAZbi?si=93CL-7P2TASClr0E2AciKA When I left my full time legal career to stay at home with my first baby which turned into five babies over the next 7 years,Continue reading “a little about a LOT”
