Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
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 →
