You have to be living under a rock in the ocean if you have no idea how divided the world has become, especially in the last week. Everyone takes a “side” in something. But many of these “sides” are nothing more than labels used to keep us from uniting with each other. I can’t speak…

Be The One To Be Different
Being the one is not a new concept. It’s been sung about and talked about in many places designed to encourage people. But, in our current society, it’s more important than ever to be strong enough to “be the one.” You can change the world, even if it’s in a small way. Be the first…
What’s the Deal With AI?
What’s the deal with AI? These days everything about AI is being pushed upon us. Social media wants us to use AI to answer our questions. Search engines want us to use AI to help us search. We are encouraged to use AI to change up our photos or even create pictures of things that…
Stop Alienating Your Tribe
We live in a world of division. There are a lot of dividing lines in each of our lives. Some lines need to be drawn, but ones we don’t need to draw are those that divide us from others of like minds – our “tribe”, if you will. Let’s look at people looking to follow…
Little By Little Nobody Noticed
When I was a child, I wanted my hair cut, but my dad wouldn’t let me. He thought little girls should all have long hair. But my mother understood, and she agreed to cut just a little bit off each week until it was shorter. For a long time, my father never noticed. The world…

Judge Not The Poor For Being Poor
(I read a post on social media about poor people that prompted this post, but I’ve been wanting to write a post like this for quite some time.) Many people judge those who are in financial straits without having a clue how hard they strive to get out of the hole they are in. NONE…
When “Help me!” Is Silent
Sometimes you never hear the “help me” from people who need it. It doesn’t come out in words, but rather in appearance and demeanor … You don’t recognize her. You know her, but she doesn’t look like the woman you remember. Her clothes are ill-fitting and faded. She never would have left the house looking…
It’s Been Seven Years …
Today, I realized something. It’s been seven years since I had to quit working because of my pain and health issues. It’s hard to believe it’s been so long already. It was so much a part of my life that it feels like just a couple of years ago. Life isn’t anything I had imagined…
Emotional Writers Need Understanding
How many of us are emotional writers? I can’t be the only one. When life is hitting me hard, I turn to writing. Words flow easily onto paper or into a document on my laptop. The difficulty is sharing those words with others. The things I write about when my emotions are high are usually…
