I will always stand up and speak for those who cannot and for the oppressed. Write when it hurts. Write when the feelings are strong. They are strong now. To the point my stomach is in knots and my heart in my throat. That is how much I feel things. I am empathetic to the hilt. I feel this way because of what the 'pres' of our country said about a governor. He called him a re**rd. Even writing about it just churns my stomach. Makes me feel ill and pain. Pain for those who

I wrote an entire blog last night and for some reason, it did not save.  This is the 3rd time this has happened to me.  When will I ever learn? As usual, I will use this as a learning experience, but furthermore, an opportunity to ask God if what I wrote needed to be changed.  It sucks to have so many feelings and emotions because when you do, you want to get them out right away.  Like NOW!

I posted only a summary of this blog the other day and decided to add it to my website with a bit of elaboration. This was my mantra the other day: I'm not gonna drink I'm not gonna drink      Dang right! There is nothing in the house to drink I'm not going out I'm not going out      Uh, Yeah.

Painting by Michael Mize - title: Leap of Faith I drove home singing tonight after leaving an art gallery where I made my first real art print purchase. It was $95 and I knew I could not pass it up. Singing. I felt it. I went to the store after the gallery and even in the store, I was doing a few moves to the music from my headphones. Driving home, one of my favorite songs played and I kicked up the volume a bit and patted my chest as the emotions came out through a loud ve

I'm not sure what is happening but I cannot decide if I am annoyed by it, grateful for it or just not ready to let go. Last weekend I did not want to drink. Highly unusual. I tried to have a drink while I was cleaning house and I suddenly got the 'blech' from it and tossed it. I resorted to coffee. Then on Sunday evening around 7 my daughter came home and I was so happy about it, I ran upstairs and grabbed a seltzer and began to drink it. I went to the grocery store and came
