Why am I writing another blog post when I should be writing a book? Why when I swipe my credit card at the gas station does it stop before my tank is full, even though I entered my zip code like a good lemming? Why do people have children and then ignore them? Why, even…
I really only pray for one thing. I think what I do is still called praying. I don’t believe in or belong to a particular religion and I don’t read specific books or how-to manuals regarding God or Jesus, or the host of other characters. I don’t go to church or kneel down to pray.…
I’m pretty sure Charles Schultz and William Randolph Hearst would never sit down to dinner. They would have a hard time agreeing on the table. Schultz was born nearly 60 years after Hearst, but their lifetimes did cross. I don’t profess to be a scholar on either man, but it is my opinion they could…
I wasn’t going to write about this, but my question needs to be asked, so here goes… I’m confused about the George Zimmerman verdict. To my knowledge, this man was investigated the night of and following the tragic incident. Police made the determination, after reviewing the facts, that Zimmerman was overzealous, didn’t follow the directions…
This is an important video and an even more important issue. The idea that anyone’s babies would feel alone or harm themselves because of something that makes them who they are is heartbreaking.

It seems that Brazil nuts help with anxiety and citrus is good for stress, according to Dr. Oz. I’m not a Dr. Oz follower, but at the same time when I’ve seen a snippet of him on television, or read an article, I like him. I should say, I like what he has to say…
I don’t need a gun. I mean, it’s not really a right I feel passionately about which sounds odd because I should feel passionately about all my rights. Once one right is taken away, we are always told, that leads to a slippery slope and before we know it all rights are gone and it’s…
I’m sick and I just ate a bowl of frozen peas. I microwaved them of course, but they really didn’t help. I usually get sinus pressure, runny nose sick, but this one is chest cough, floating head, fully clothed in bed with socks on sick. Miserable. So, having to get up before I made a…
