- Thanksgiving!
It is over for another year! Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday of the entire year, has come and gone. This year was unusual because my broken shoulder is still healing, and my stamina is somewhat impaired as my body uses up energy healing itself. Nevertheless, I pulled it off. My family really pitched in, cooking and helping me in many ways. I also took advantage of professional kitchen help during the party. There were 22 relatives, including an infant great-grandson. I… - Something Has Changed
Clearly, something has changed, and I have decided to live! To thrive instead of just fading away as an old lady. Which is tempting at my age, with the world seeming to be in such turmoil and so many people still asleep. One solution is just to opt out. I discovered lately that I am not done yet. I cannot pinpoint when I changed my mind, but it may have happened last spring when I discovered I have alpha-gal, the… - Why Dogs Bring Joy Amidst Chaos
The news outlets keep telling us that people have become more violent in recent years. Certainly, their manners have deteriorated. Trying to maintain older ideas of proper behavior is becoming more and more difficult. Sometimes I find myself distressed by the lack of consideration shown to customers when shopping, or drivers in traffic, or even on campuses where students disrespect professors and administration in ways unheard of half a century ago. It distresses me and can cause my temper to… - EXITING THE MATRIX
EXITING THE MATRIX, A Journey Towards Truth and Self-Realization The world we live in often feels chaotic, overwhelming, and disconnected from our true selves. From the constant barrage of media to the pressures of consumerism and societal expectations, it’s easy to feel like we’re caught in a never-ending loop. But what if there was a way to break free from these distractions and rediscover who we truly are? In this blog post, I’ll share my journey of “exiting the matrix”,… - The Business of Influence
The Business of Influence: How Big Pharma Shapes Medicine and Policy Growing up, I believed that doctors were larger-than-life people. When we children were sick, just knowing the doctor was on his way made us feel better. Of course, doctors don’t make house calls much anymore. When my mother was 100 and then 101, her doctor would come to the house to see her. But she cautioned me, “Don’t tell anyone I did this!” It was a very nice thing… - Charlie Kirk: A Martyr for Free Speech and Faith
Charlie Kirk: A Martyr for Free Speech and Faith in an Age of Cancel Culture and One-Sided Violence. There has been much written on this subject but I want to add my voice in tribute to this man. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically assassinated at Utah Valley University during the kickoff of his “American Comeback Tour.” Shot in the neck by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, a left-leaning and clearly highly disturbed… - The Seeds We Plant with Our Words
Why even the smallest expressions can grow into something powerful and lasting The Power of Planting a Seed As we arrived at my parents-in-law’s house for Thanksgiving many years ago, I saw something extraordinary. A bamboo plant had forced its way up through five inches of black macadam. I could hardly believe it. Only a small green shoot showed itself, but it was an impressive feat. On another occasion, on vacation in the south of France, I came across another… - What is your biggest fear?
I am posting an article I wrote in April of 2023, on an old website called ACactusFlower.com. It was a cry for common sense and an end to the covid madness. That was nearly two and a half years ago. So many people have conveniently forgotten how hateful they became during that time. They were terrified, and I suppose they would say that justifies their hate and rigid imposition of stupid rules upon the nation. I have not forgotten. No…
