Last week I wrote about the loss of connection at a more personal level. Discussing the change in how society interacts appears to be doing more harm than good for us as a nation and as a world community. This week I want to discuss the loss of connection in the workplace and in support… Continue reading Loss of Connection (Part II)
The Loss of Human Connection (Part I)
At the airport this week, I did my customary stop at Hudson News to buy a snack and a drink, and sometimes a book or magazine. When I went to the counter to pay, I was asked if I was paying cash or card. Since I’m not one to carry cash, I said card. At… Continue reading The Loss of Human Connection (Part I)
Dumb, Corrupt, or Both?
This tweet came across my feed yesterday: This is not the first time a tweet of this sort has shown up on my feed, but it is the first time I’ve thought anything about it. Usually I keep scrolling as it just seems like a click-bait kind of post. Not this time. This time it… Continue reading Dumb, Corrupt, or Both?
Let’s Just Get the Violence Out of the Way
“that the US is the only country in history to allow a coup to go unpunished and a seditionist to run for president again – is due to Garland, the DOJ, and their accomplices in Congress.” — Sarah Kendzior
“Pray for the End of Abortion”
While driving through a rural area of my state, I saw a sign on the lawn of a house. The sign said, “Pray for the end of abortion.” We all know abortion can become a very heated topic. Since the end of Dobbs (which originally made abortion legal), and the votes in Ohio and Virginia,… Continue reading “Pray for the End of Abortion”
Why the Hate (and Ignorance)?
Hate has been on my mind this week. With the war between Israel and Hamas, the continued invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the election of the new Speaker of the House Johnson and his extreme fundamentalist views of the world, and the never ending saga of the former President and his lackeys. What is being… Continue reading Why the Hate (and Ignorance)?
Collective Guilt, Collective Bias
The Middle East has been on my mind, as I’m sure on many minds, the past couple of weeks (and in many ways, years). Other than the obvious, what has stuck in my mind as I reflect on events is how we, as a collective, forget that two or more things can be true at… Continue reading Collective Guilt, Collective Bias
Back in New York City
After a short hiatus due to Covid, the hubby, one of the Papas, and I made it back to the Big Apple for our annual trek for shows and fun. Sadly, one of the Papas couldn’t go due to doggy illness issues—he was greatly missed. We have developed a sort of a routine for our… Continue reading Back in New York City
Prunes and Pork Chops
It has been a couple of weeks since my last post. This is because the Covid finally caught up with me, which actually made me quite angry emotionally, but physically felt like a bad cold and a little tiredness. I’m out of quarantine and feeling 100% better. I did cook quite a few things before… Continue reading Prunes and Pork Chops
Following Directions
What is it about us humans and directions? For so many, in the old days without GPS, we’d drive around trying to find a place. It was almost an act of God to pull over and ask someone how to get to wherever we were going. Same thing when we buy something new. We take… Continue reading Following Directions
