Becoming Exhausted, and With Little Hope for Change.
I’m pissed. It’s hard to understand. I need to understand why this keeps happening. Why is it that brown boys and girls continue to be killed at the hands of law enforcement. Why are the excuses becoming more asinine and irrational. Daunte. 20 year old father, is now dead. And I don’t care what the…

A Magical Moment.
Today was such a peaceful day. My television stayed on CNN from the time I woke up this morning and will likely remain on until I lay down for bed. I watched former President Trump as he took the low road by leaving the White House early, not attending the inauguration and being what one…

Blogmas 2020: My Santa Letter
So, When I saw this prompt for Blogmas, I thought “this is kid’s stuff. Why would I write a letter to Santa?” But then, the more I thought about it, the more I realized it could be kind of fun to write Santa. I haven’t written a letter to “Santa” in quite a while. So,…
