"I can't make you love me if you don't."-Bonnie Raitt Eradicating poverty, as with all cultural shifts, needs to take place in our hearts for real change to occur. Policies are the 10 Commandments, ABC's and 1,2,3's of giving a shit about your neighbor. Civil Rights are a law and yet they haven't eradicated racism.…Read more We the Free
Float On
Flip the script. The simplest way to prevent vicarious trauma, stress, worry, woe is to make our compassion, faith and love bigger than our fatigue, fear or hate.

Achoo
He was shades of both and I was stuffed between. To stop my head from pounding I blew my nose which literally cleared head; miraculous, almost embarrassing relief. In spite of being circumstantially stuck, my head was free. I intended to use it. Youth group imposter-christ was there, together with a griping chrone, stuffing her…Read more Achoo
