or, how I learned to stop worrying, about EVERYTHING I’m quite old, so worrying about anything is really rather silly. But a LOT of things are going on around us right now, on many, many levels, from the significant to the bizarre. And drama surrounds everything. First, people were sick and died in great numbers,…
As long as I have been reading books, magazines, newspapers – cereal boxes, for goodness sake — it was pretty much understood that a person had written what I was reading. So, once I started reading more and better books, and consuming what was once real journalism, I wanted to write myself. It was just…
more than fireworks This 4th of July has been interesting to watch unfold over the years. It used to be a “given.” Everyone knew that the 4th of July was the “birthday of the republic.” Independence Day. The day we celebrated the unique freedoms of living in the best country in the world. It was…
trust and faith, with some research for answers when needed…. I’ve been tending tropical plants for as long as I can remember. Tending, because you don’t really “grow” them. They seem to be like cats – they bloom when they decide to bloom. Not because you think it’s time. Many of them only play the…
or are you waiting to be saved by a miracle? Because, as my husband likes to say, “hope is not a strategy.” We are watching the entire planet morph into tyranny, following a script that has been telegraphed in all its parts. The next part is global famine. That will open the doors for the…
and what’s next? I hate to always be the voice of doom and gloom, but there is some serious shit coming down the pike, and it’s better to be a little concerned about it than to be blindsided by it when it hits. The sad thing is that it is being done to us and…
surface illusions… real infrastructure We’re having our dining room floor joists replaced. It’s an interesting process here in the Lowcountry, where most homes have a crawl space instead of a basement. Our house is from the mid-60s. It sits on a brick foundation which sits on a concrete footing, and underneath the house itself is…
finding yours A few days ago, someone said “love should be the frequency, not fear.” That’s correct, to a degree, but “love” is not enough. You have to have a spiritual center, a higher power as they say in AA, the frequency that brings you real peace. It took me 50 years to find mine.…
Part Deux It’s Sunday. SO the first thing I’m going to say is Get Right WITH GOD. Find a way to find God. Now. Today. This morning. It’s getting that serious. Everywhere. God doesn’t want a lot from you. He wants you to admit you have sinned. There’s not a person on the planet who…

may be the best place to be The world is getting crazier by the day and it’s hard to know what is real – except God and nature. Even food can be fake. I bought a couple cans of “tuna” a few months back that contained no fish at all. The cat wouldn’t even eat…
