Words Matter
As an adult the words I use matter to me. When it comes to words lately as we hear elected officials and people loosely throw out words in association with a Country or Organization and end up having falsely spread bad information. The truth seems hard to come by for our media bees. Although something…

9th Degree Irritated Yet
Today was the first vote for Jim Jordan to be Speaker of the House. This feels like a farce. Why can the Democrats always work in lockstep together while the Republicans of infighting? Why is it so hard to coalesce around our one person and vote? We are literally fighting amongst ourselves knowing full well…

Irons In the Fire
This week has been quite a week. Watching current events have been jostling to say the least, especially in Congress. Averting a government shutdown should have been a high for the Republicans to float on for a while longer than we had. Now we have three names for Speaker in the hat, Biden not caring…

The Status Quo
Two of the loudest voices I heard from Wednesday, before my Wi-Fi went out was a Former Speaker and a Fox Host. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich has maybe a thing or two he could say having been in that position. However Kilmeade had some kind of chip on his shoulder with Rep Tim Burchett. Yet…

When he first came onto the scene a few short years ago he was energetic and a Republican. I understand both sides of this issue. The CR, the Continuing Resolution is an enabling function…

Access or Illusion of Access
This word was used a lot yesterday and has been used over the last couple of years. The term ‘the sale of access’ has been used as well. Honestly I wish I had even the slightest bit of access that this means to my boyfriend. Texting isn’t like having him with me especially on his…

Evidence
When my Grandpa Leo died I had no idea how much that would turn me upside down in a way. Music was my childhood I lived and breathed music. I sang while cleaning and washing dishes my grandparents, parents and uncles were always scaring me in the middle of singing high the notes. They seemed…

Something To Marinate On
The past week has been intriguing to say the least. My world was altered when my Grandpa Leo died. I have always had the loving cocoon of my family and their support. This may have been the beginning of my ability to adapt and begin analyzing my decisions, well pretty much everything. Ideas started to…
