How can you spread peace if you have hatred in your heart? “Someone shot Donald Trump!” “No, he wasn’t. It was staged.” “It’s too bad the shooter missed.” “I’m so upset this morning.” THIS is the only comment that everyone can agree on. They can’t agree WHY they are upset, but they are upset. Some…
A Day In The Life Of A Scam Chaser
People know that I am a scam chaser, but they don’t know what that entails. So, with this post I hope to enlighten everyone on what it all takes to try to save people from the insidious scams that are a plague on social media. I don’t chase scams every day. I would if there…
Happy Father’s Day In Heaven, Dad
Father’s Day hits hard when your father isn’t here anymore. Thirty-five years ago was the last Father’s Day I got to share with my father in this life. Every year since then I feel a distinct emptiness inside of me on this holiday. It doesn’t feel right without him here. There are plenty of other…
He Was Eleven Years Old. They Called Him DJ
Dracen John Lee Brabant was an eleven year old boy who had a future ahead of him. But, he breathes no more because he felt that he couldn’t deal with the pressures of life as he knew it. He was a victim of bullying. Dracen, or DJ as he was affectionately called, had a family…
Facebook Groups For Adoption And Rehoming Are SCAMS
By now if you’ve been on Facebook for any length of time you’ve seen links to dog groups for adoption or rehoming. Or, if they weren’t groups for dogs they may have been groups dedicated to some other animal. THESE ARE RUN BY SCAMMERS. I have tried numerous times to post an educational post about…
THE Golden Rule Is Still In Effect
“The Golden Rule” was taught religiously when I was a child. It may have had slight variations in wording, but the thought was the same – don’t do anything to someone else that you wouldn’t want done to you. As an empath, this seems like simple common sense. I feel the pain inflicted upon others….
Covid Changed The World
“Covid changed the world”. I have heard that many times over. I was talking with a friend I met in Walmart the other day and she said the same thing. “Everyone is so mean and full of hate.” She’s right. It seems that people tend to look for reasons to hate before giving love and…
Time – Where Have You Gone?
I feel that I am obsessed with the concept of time this year. Scientifically, it is measured with a watch, and separated into labeled sections such as hours or days. But, it feels relatively different to each person and situation without a timepiece. Time lost can never be replaced. You may be able to repeat…
Give Your Kids Cameras! Preserve Those Memories
What kid doesn’t ask for a camera at an early age? Or, I guess these days, they just pilfer a parent’s phone to sneak a photo opportunity. The point is that kids love taking pictures. Give them cameras! Back when I was younger it was a lot more expensive to take pictures. There were no…
Is It Love (Or a Trauma Bond)?
Let’s talk about a trauma bond. It’s a little off the main road of my recent posts, but anyone who has followed me for any length of time knows that I can veer off the beaten path at any given moment. These posts are usually about what’s most prevalent in my life when I feel…
