Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
I don’t know about you, but I am thoroughly exhausted by the chaos that is drowning our nation. Every day and I mean every day there is something more outrageous than the day before. ICE killing Americans. ICE beating those who are taken into custody. DOJ investigating Trump’s adversaries. Civil and equal rights are in... Continue Reading →
I am unhappy with my writer’s block and yet there is so much chaos in America right now, it’s no surprise that I’m stuck. What do I write about? How do I frame it? How can I stay calm when writing anything political? Well, that led me to the fact that I lost two incredible... Continue Reading →
I have been in a writer’s block for a few weeks now, unable to sit down and write what is on my mind. Truthfully, there are too many issues on my mind. I have had to turn that off and sit still to meditate more often. Even my walks and hikes are in silence. It... Continue Reading →

I have no words right now as I watch a video of a child, a little girl that is maybe 8 years old, crying for her parents that were taken away by ICE agents. Who will house her, feed her, take her to school? Instead of chasing people and treating them like subhumans, why can’t... Continue Reading →
Not sure of what to write today, but I am worried about the domestic terrorist problem in America and throughout our world. And it usually starts at a very young age. Children learn from their parents bad behavior and language. Mass shootings Mass harm in the name of whatever cause has festered in a person’s... Continue Reading →
With a devastation loss for democracy in America, we are now looking at another four gruesome years of chaos under a second Trump administration. Let’s face it, Trump is an amoral man. He lacks values, empathy, compassion, leadership. So, what has America lost in the wake of this election? For starters, America is no longer... Continue Reading →
I cannot breathe from post-election anxiety. I am worried for people of color more than ever before. I am worried for DACA recipients. I am worried for immigrants that will be unjustly held unless they can prove who they are. I am worried for my nieces and nephews who have browner skin than I do.... Continue Reading →
The main topic of the 2024 Election is democracy. The simple version of the meaning of democracy is government by the people. The supreme power is vested in the people through representation of the system held be free and fair elections. Essentially, we vote for those politicians that we feel represent us best, a chosen...
