PANDEMIC FATIGUE OR NAAH…. PLEASE STEP BACK!!

The sign reads clearly:  PLEASE REMAIN SIX FEET APART.  Additionally, the store has operated above and beyond to lay feet markers on the floor, in the event that we, the customers, have no concept of what 6 feet look like.  Good for us, right?!  So, we are all standing in the queue waiting to beContinue reading “PANDEMIC FATIGUE OR NAAH…. PLEASE STEP BACK!!”

MY DISQUIETED STILLNESS

Each time I blog post, I am “led” to do so, one way or another.  As it stands now, there are about five pieces stored in my repertoire that I have written over the past three months and have not yet posted, for one reason or the other.   Simply put, I have been feeling quiet.Continue reading “MY DISQUIETED STILLNESS”

The Parent Actor: a necessary show.

The Parent Actor:  A necessary show. Since she was able to properly formulate a sentence, the routine has always been that she would provide me with either a blow by blow of her day or a synopsis of the main happenings of her time away….  Not much has changed since she was a toddler, exceptContinue reading “The Parent Actor: a necessary show.”

Ashamed of Love!?!

My last two posts have inadvertently been about operating in love in one way or another, and today I feel compelled to extend the conversation, but from a slightly different perspective. Interestingly, “love” has also been the topic of discussion from several perspectives in at least six conversations with six different persons – all unrelated.Continue reading “Ashamed of Love!?!”

A LIVING CHANGE!

“Live your life in a way that suits you, but don’t set out to hurt people. Apologize when you are wrong, And don’t hesitate to walk away from that which doesn’t serve your soul.” Stacey A Palmer, 2021 On this journey called life, we either change or we remain the same.  Many have actually saidContinue reading “A LIVING CHANGE!”

The Virtuous Customer/Service?

The week was a hectic one; I hardly had time to scratch my head… not quite that, but you get it. So Saturday rolls around, and I decide that I would not be making any lunch or dinner… too tired for that.  Maybe, I could run out and get us something for lunch.  I haveContinue reading “The Virtuous Customer/Service?”

Are you “her” or “him” hiding in plain sight?!

As the story is told (with my own twist), she left him and moved on to a new relationship and was thriving there.  He didn’t like that, so he hatched a plan for her to come back “home”.  If she didn’t do as he wanted, he had something more sinister in mind.  In his questContinue reading “Are you “her” or “him” hiding in plain sight?!”

From Fear to Fair…

I don’t think anyone needs any special skill or gift to see what is happening, as this whole pandemic has truly highlighted how hardened we have become as individuals and as a larger society, in a way that I am not sure I can truly say that we have ever observed before.  Maybe it isContinue reading “From Fear to Fair…”

Fixing the mental “Klunk Ku Klunk”

I am driving along minding my business and singing along to the sweet sounds of 90s R&B, when suddenly I heard it. Klunk ku klunk ku klunk. Dah heck?!! Why do I feel as if I am on the bumpiest road ever?  Except, I am not!  Immediately, I can tell this is not normal.  AlthoughContinue reading “Fixing the mental “Klunk Ku Klunk””

REJECTION IS AS NECESSARY AS IT IS INEVITABLE!

I am STILL trying to figure out why the world is so cruel to women.  The data presented on the World Health Organization website[1] is frightening and puts into perspective that violence against women is a global crisis, so much so that it is being referred to as “devastatingly pervasive”. The question that begs toContinue reading “REJECTION IS AS NECESSARY AS IT IS INEVITABLE!”
