  • 3 Suppositions and a Conclusion

    August 31, 2020

    1. I am created in the image of God. Genesis 1: 26; “And God said. Let us make man in our image….” Genesis 1:27; So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” KJV 2. A dream begins with an image. The […]

  • #Where Did My Belly Button Go?

    May 14, 2020

    Health experts say sitting is the new smoking, meaning consistently sitting long hours is just as detrimental to one’s health as is smoking.  I have spent the last five years sitting on my fanny an awful lot while pursuing a higher education.  Since graduation, binge watching my shows seems to be more enjoyable than cleaning out the […]

  • As the World Turns…

    April 10, 2020

    As the World Turns Pauses It’s obvious that as the crisis of COVID19 looms over the globe, we the people have put our normal lives on hold. Life as we know it has paused.  The hardship of this unprecedented time is unfathomable; for everyone. Yet, I have observed a few personal benefits since Shelter-In Place (SIP) orders were […]

  • Trash Collectors ––An Underappreciated Profession

    March 17, 2020

    In my last post I wrote about completing a daily gratitude list of a minimum of 20 items. Some things that I am most thankful for show up repeatedly, such as indoor plumbing. (See previous post for the reason I don’t take indoor plumbing for granted.)   Why purposely practice an attitude of gratitude? As […]

  • Health Benefits of Being a Senior Corps Volunteer

    February 1, 2020

    Non-profit and faith-based organizations rely heavily on the work and support of volunteers to bring relief a struggling population within local communities.  But a recent study of older adults ––55 years old and over––gives evidence that the volunteer who is consistent in volunteer work for two years or more also improve their own health.   An independent […]

  • A Lot Like Seinfeld

    January 25, 2020

    According to WordPress statistics, I posted here two times in 2019.  For someone who recently graduated with a BA in English with a Specialization in Writing, that fact is utterly abhorrent. The truth is that my inner monologue has been saying things such as “I don’t have anything to say that is worth reading.” It […]

  • This Old House

    September 15, 2019

    This Old House This old house rests in obscurity at the elbow, on the narrow, the dusty, tatty lane Battle-scarred and war-weary, shutters dangle at the windows, fleshy- paint peeling, contorting. Passers-by seem indifferent, or of a detached curiosity, Some dismissive, deemed not worth a second glance. Yet a second glance is warranted, look past […]

  • So, This Happened.

    May 13, 2019

    Now what? It’s been an arduous journey, but I now have a BA in English/Writing  Specialization and a minor in Journalism. Notice it’s Writing Specialization, not Writing Expert! 🤓

  • BedPans and Walther P38s

    December 23, 2018

    (The conclusion) The families were leaving, and I was informed by unanimous consensus I was to send a screenshot prior to all purchases for their children. My four-year-old self’s inner monologue screamed, “You’re not the boss of me.” Instead, I shouted that I wasn’t in an assisted living home yet and asked, “What’s next? Taking […]
