The book I wrote and published is based on this idea. It’s called Wings of Light and it’s based on some events that happened in my daughter’s life, including one day when she was about 2 and we were out for a walk. She stopped and crouched down to see a caterpillar. She looked upContinue reading “Wings of Light”

The Fallout from Roe vs Wade
I’ve spent the past two days reading and watching about what the so-called Supreme Court did based on the desires of just 25% of the country. But when it comes down to it, it’s actually based on their own personal wants and beliefs. So this is my own rant about it. I’m pissed. I’m hurt.Continue reading “The Fallout from Roe vs Wade”
Life Changing Events
We all experience life-changing events. Sometimes they are things that happen to the world around us, such as 9/11, when President Kennedy was shot, the moon landing, the attack of Pearl Harbor. Other times it’s a much more personal nature. For me, it was four miscarriages, a near-fatal car accident that almost took off myContinue reading “Life Changing Events”
Gun Violence
There is so much going on in the world these days, so much loss and destruction from forest fires to earthquakes to hurricanes and especially a pandemic. These are natural-born events. But there are also man-made destruction events such as car accidents and plane crashes, building fires, mudslides, floods, and war. And the way weContinue reading “Gun Violence”

Memorial Day Reflections
We have been taught that “freedom isn’t free.” Therefore, we have to “fight” for it. At one time, that might have been true, but IMHO, it’s now mostly just playing “king of the mountain.” But the otherside is that a strong military is a sign of a strong country. The idea that serving in theContinue reading “Memorial Day Reflections”
Columbine Tragedy
“On this day in 1999, the Columbine High School shooting took place in Littleton, Colorado, killing 13 victims. At the time, it was the fifth most deadly mass shooting in recent American history, but due to other massacres in the past two decades, it’s now tied for twelfth. The tragedy sparked a national debate aboutContinue reading “Columbine Tragedy”
Black Teen Fatally Shot by Tennessee Police. Initial Reports Says He Shot Officer, Later Says Bullet Did Not Come From Teen’s Gun
“Right now is a difficult time for Black America. Last summer, we saw a massive wave of Black Lives Matter protests across the nation and an equally massive spotlight on systemic racism in policing—we called it a racial awakening. Then, in the midst of a nationally televised trial over the Black death that arguably sparkedContinue reading “Black Teen Fatally Shot by Tennessee Police.

VP Harris just threw down the gantlet to McConnell and said they are moving forward with the infrastructure bill. She said they will not take it slow and be obstructed just to get nowhere.
