The Scorpion and the monk
So I have run into a lot of backstabbing behavior from people I genuinely considered friends (some for short periods of time, some for decades - most of the longer friendships have been busted by obviously jealous "girlfriends" who really have no idea who they are up against when they are up against me ... … Continue reading The Scorpion and the monk
How do you make impossible decisions?
So, for those who do not follow me on social media, my cat - the boy whose life I saved and the boy who has saved mine more times than I could ever attempt to count; the one who has been the one in the "it's just you and me, babe!" for 12 years - … Continue reading How do you make impossible decisions?
Juneteenth
"FreedomThe very time I thought I was lost, my dungeon shook and my chains fell off.Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty." what beautiful words. Many of you might not know that I have fought for the status of #juneteenth as a Federal holiday for about a decade now. What upset me the … Continue reading Juneteenth
a question regarding writing
I have a question for my fellow writers; to phrase it as succinctly as I can, how do you keep writing when your world is falling apart around you?

Sometimes you forget that some of the best friends you have ever had are actually still there for you. And ... aside … Continue reading thankful tuesday
Fairweather friends
I honestly don't know how even to start to approach this one. I know I have hinted at it in many of my recent previous posts, but I'm having a REALLY hard time. Like ... sobbing for hours a day not because my cat has cancer but because people I not only thought were my … Continue reading Fairweather friends
JuJu BEE!
So I know I have missed quite a long period of my life in blog posts; with any luck, just by the way I talk, I will eventually cover all the "missed" things. One of these things was adopting a baby brother for Sparky Puck, given his very severe illness and now cancer diagnosis. This … Continue reading JuJu BEE!
Why is asking for alone time such an awful thing? and as a secondary question, why are so many people so needy that they don’t need that?
I'm going to try to make this one as short as I possibly can, but suffice it to say over the last few days since my mom hasn't been working my father has been sitting around also not working. And so, since I am here, I have had literally NO alone time. Now, since I … Continue reading Why is asking for alone time such an awful thing? and as a secondary question, why are so many people so needy that they don’t need that?
