Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
All of trump’s cabinet nominees were dishonest at their confirmation hearings. Their pressure is Project 2025 in full tilt mode. Abolishing programs for special needs and disabled children.

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 →

I have had a writer’s block this past year. Maybe it’s the aftermath of the pandemic now that we have had to learn to live with covid. Maybe I’m just mad at the people in America that refused to take a deadly virus serious. But ‘Merica, folks. I am not understanding why Americans don’t question... Continue Reading →
This Tuesday night on #DeadlineWhitehouse, Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. was a guest. His answer about the topic of the rhetoric of violent threats struck me. I am still thinking about it. “Nicole, we’re not gonna ever change. Until we hold the people we love accountable….People who know better, eat dinner with folk, they love them... Continue Reading →
I woke up with a start this morning from a dream that had abandonment issues. The news of a dear friend with a cancer diagnosis had me in a funk yesterday, thinking about others who have left me in my past. Grief is an odd devil of sorts, popping up when you least expect it... Continue Reading →
