This post addresses certain critiques that were made to the Black Lives Matter platform which was released in early August 2016
The Struggle Was Real – Dealing with Infertility and PCOS
I matured early as a child. By ten, I had boobs and by eleven my period had arrived. Throughout my teens I never kept track of my menstrual cycles as some of my classmates did, it came when it came and usually lasted a week or two. I had the sense then to think what…

Robin Williams Joins Comedy Giants Who Died Too Soon
Mine and my husband’s favorite comedian. There are no words to express the sense of loss we feel about this wonderful man. The world was a better place for him living in it, particularly during a time that we have film and video, so he may continue to live on, and our children’s children will…
Over-Population? Sustainability? Climate Change?
Goodness gracious, seems it’s been a while! I guess when you finally decide to do one thing, a million other things decide to occur at the same time. Of course, being a procrastinator, this does serve a purpose. Just one more thing to say I’m going to get to. In the past couple of weeks…
The Power of Living
Having had a few near brushes with death, particularly the one I wrote about earlier, I came to reflect on my life. I almost drowned a three times, once in the bathtub when I was about six years old, and twice in the ocean in my ‘tween years when waves knocked me over and under…

It started early on today when I received an email invitation to participate in an teleconference over the weekend. Ordinarily this might cause trepidation, but the subject matter…
Am I A Book Butterfly?
I was the kid who always was immersed in a book, as books were my haven. Didn’t matter what kind of book. I would read romance novels, mysteries, thrillers, non-fiction, encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases, newspapers and magazines. I had no preference. When I was very little, I even remember eating the corners of the pages of…
♫Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head♫
I woke up this morning feeling a bit grumpy. I suspect it was related some bad feelings I experienced just before I fell asleep last night. Anywhere on social media there are always these images and memes reminding you that “No can make you feel inferior without your consent” or “Don’t let others steal your…
Finding Time to Keep on Task
I’ve noticed that whenever I decide to embark upon a new project, it seems as though the universe conspires to push as many obstacles as possible in my way. Bad weather, special work projects, family responsibilities, invitations to go out, the Winter Olympics, Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy, Revenge, the Internet, Facebook, anything really, that gets me…
