Inclusive
This morning a commercial for a playground used a form of this word. Does anyone else get tired of the overzealous use of this word? I believe most of us do provide such an inclusive environment, America isn’t called the modern day melting pot for no reason. In school it was the beauty of what…

Feelings of …Inadequacy
Since the accident something has been off. There is something I can’t quite put my finger on. Exhaustion, lack of energy, seem to be my problem. Several ideas came to mind this weekend even, but the time of waiting and the heat dried them out of my head I guess. Have you ever had this…

Infested News
Yesterday was a day of digesting some truth. My family grew up without cable. Going on vacations and then college were the only times I watched cable ever in my life.

One Weekend…
Honestly I still feel taken aback today from the past weekend. If my accident wasn’t enough just three weeks ago my sister-in-law and hers has to be now. I thought mine was crazy and I didn’t hurt my vehicle or hit anything. She was literally run over while in the parking lot sitting in a…

Headline From ‘The Federalist’
Conservative Headlines When I saw this headline I had to look further.
