Anticipation
“Anticipation…is making me wait…keeping me waiting…” Those of us who have already voted– 50 million plus U.S. citizens–are on pins and needles, waiting for November 3rd to arrive and the final tally of total votes to be released. Which may not happen on November 3rd, but weeks or even months later, if the vote…
Mood Shifting to HOPEFUL ANTICIPATION
My mood shifted from hopeless anxiety and hopping anger to hopeful anticipation over the past few days. It has been a very long four years (especially the last eight months in isolation due to COVID) but I’m sensing a massive mood shift as the November election approaches… People are swarming to the polls…
MIND as METROPOLIS
I think a chief reason I became a writer is that my mind is like a giant metropolis. There is always so much bustling going on it it that I had to find a way to slow it down, sort it out, and separate the threads in it that define who I am and why…
Bored Out of my Gourd
OK, I am officially “bored out of my gourd.” A high school teacher told me that, with a brain like mine, this should never happen. And it almost never does. But today I am bored, bored, bored. Or, at minimum, feeling house bound/cabin fever-ish. I’ve taken this COVID isolation era…
Bizarre Dream
In a bizarre dream I had this morning, I convinced my Trump-supporting sister to reconsider her upcoming vote. The sad part was waking up, because I know it could never happen in reality. She is too fear-driven, and watching Fox Noise and Sean Hannity (who has said off the record that Trump is “batshit…
ABOUT MIKE PENCE
Am I the only casual observer who thinks Mike Pence looks like a shark? I mean, an actual shark with soul-less, silent, intent, merciless eyes? Watch him any time standing behind Trump, or tonight during his debate with Kamala Harris. You can see humanity in Dr. Fauci’s eyes, and in Joe and…
2020 Trifecta: Breasts, Belly and Bully ALL GONE!!!
2020 Trifecta: Breasts, Belly and Bully ALL GONE!!! The year 2020 has brought untold misery and suffering to millions of people and hundreds of thousands of families just in the USA alone, thanks to COVID-19 and to the foot-dragging incompetence of the present occupier of the executive branch of government (unless he and his…
Debate #1 was a Total Shit Show
Last night’s so-called “debate” between Joe Biden and Donald Trump was a total shit show, and the responsibility for the disaster lies with Trump alone. Trump has the impulse control of a two to three year old child (another reason I never wanted children). He behaves like he’s the only person with interests…
POTUS or PANDEMIC: Which Scares You MOST?
POTUS or PANDEMIC: Which Scares You MOST? It occurred to me the other night (and I’ve been pondering this, off and on, ever since) that the present POTUS scares me far more than the COVID-19 pandemic. I suppose that would change, at least temporarily, if any of my friends, family or loved ones…
My New Book “To Live in Hearts We Leave Behind…”
This morning my new book came to me as I slept. (It usually happens to me in just this way!) And to think I didn’t even know I was “pregnant” this time. (Usually I get a stirring for weeks that something as-yet-unborn is gestating, but not this time!) The inspiration came in…
