Everyday we hear of governors going on TV and stating all the things the Federal government isn’t doing. Many also let us know, because there is no national leadership, they are each bidding against one another for needed supplies to treat COVID-19. There is a National Governors Association to which I believe all governors belong… Continue reading Nationally, We are Leaderless. Why Aren’t Governors Uniting?

Is Coronavirus God’s Punishment?
Hurricane Katrina, HIV/AIDS, Hurricane Sandy, Haitian earthquake, 9/11, Sandy Hook, and so many other tragedies, have had religious leaders calling them God’s wrath for a multitude of sins by certain citizens of the countries affected. Now add Coronavirus COVID-19 to this list of tragedies as an act of God’s wrath. With Coronavirus now on the… Continue reading Is Coronavirus God’s Punishment?
100,000 to 1,100,000 Best to Best Worst Case Scenarios
Today, as I heard the best case scenario would be at least 100,000 deaths from COVID-19, I tried to wrap my head around a virus that will kill so many of us in such a short period of time. Dr. Fauci states at least 100,000 death, Dr. Birx said it could be up to 200,000… Continue reading 100,000 to 1,100,000 Best to Best Worst Case Scenarios
Plain and Simple, We Are F*
I have no words today. After reading and listening throughout the day about how doctors are being fired, health professionals are being silenced, medical personnel quitting because they no longer have equipment to keep them safe, hospitals not wanting the truth to be told, and how all of the workers above are getting sick themselves,… Continue reading Plain and Simple, We Are F*
How Are You Helping Others During the Pandemic?

Today I volunteered for Gleaners Community Food Bank. Work is allowing us to volunteer at community agencies during our… Continue reading How Are You Helping Others During the Pandemic?
I am a Worrier
If it is true one’s worries are what turns one’s hair gray, you’d see I worry, a lot. I think it is both hereditary and because I’m an educator (teachers never stop thinking about their students, even 20 years after they had them in class). My current worries, which are mainly due, but not entirely,… Continue reading I am a Worrier
For the First Time, I’m Afraid of a Virus II
A couple of days ago I wrote Part I of this post. Boy what a couple of days will do in a pandemic! A couple of days ago, we had fewer than 1,000 cases nationwide. A few days ago, we had fewer than 50 deaths nationwide. A few days ago, we had fewer than 10… Continue reading For the First Time, I’m Afraid of a Virus II
What Are You Doing to Help During this Crisis?
Every day, as the Coronavirus cases increase, and more things are shut down, I keep wondering how can I help others out during this time. I’m worried about the people who are hourly and non-exempt who may not have sick time, don’t have benefits, who can’t take time off because they if they do they… Continue reading What Are You Doing to Help During this Crisis?
Conned, or Good Deed?
Yesterday on my way to visit my family, I stopped to get gas. While getting ready to pump my gas, a car parked at the pump across from me. As probably with all of us, I didn’t pay too much attention to it. That is, until a man appeared in my peripheral vision and startled… Continue reading Conned, or Good Deed?
