  • a prayer for a dark week.

    Y’all, I honestly don’t have words for what is happening this week in America. I am saddened, disappointed, frightened, and ever so freaking angry. The witch hunts are escalating – and, yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air for displeasing the Orange One. Even South Park delayed airing – which they *never* do –… Read more

  • telling.

    The past week in America has been one of the ugliest and most vitriolic I can recall. Since the unconscionable assassination of Charlie Kirk, I have seen and heard things I never would have imagined just a few years ago – and from people I expected much better of at that. These days have been… Read more

  • under a rainbow while war erupted.

    Yesterday, we were spending a lovely afternoon with our family at the lake. Courtney and Pop were outside working on a project and I was inside, enjoying time with Mom, GJ, and Oliver As I walked out to take in the lake view from the back deck, there was a gorgeous rainbow across the water… Read more

  • happy pride.

    I have several posts to catch up from this past week. (It has been fantastic – but, of course, now my body has just imploded 🤦🏻‍♀️) Still, Saturday was a wonderful day with my Buggle. I’ve already shared some photos from the No Kings rally but we had a full day together of fabulous things.… Read more

  • history has its eyes on you.

    Bug and I had a wonderful day out and about in our town – and I’ll be sharing more about all the fun things in a separate post later this weekend. First though, today was a tremendously important day for all of us. As DJT held his despicable military parade in Washington, all over the… Read more

  • Standing with L.A. and all immigrant communities.

    I am sitting in a doctor’s office listening to the mayor of L.A. and other leaders from that immediate area speaking – and I realized that my waiting until I’ve got time to sit and craft the perfect post about all of this terror, all of these human rights violations, all of the daily insanity… Read more

  • oh, America, you great unfinished symphony. . .

    Today, that phrase from Hamilton, “America, you great unfinished symphony,” has been running through my head, as I am finally able to hear the music once again after a long, silent winter. As you all know, we voted on Tuesday. Then, we waited for votes to be counted. We waited as the White House – the… Read more

  • world on fire.

    So, while my baby boy has been a health crisis, it also feels in the past days as if the world is caught up in an awful hateful fire too. And I have to say some things. Tragedy Strikes Saturday afternoon, news broke of a white supremacist shooter, who had just turned 21, who drove… Read more

  • shining light in a time of darkness

    At the end of a hate-filled week, an anti-Semitic alt-right psychopath entered the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last Saturday and murdered eleven people during their time of worship. He injured two other worshipers as well as four police officers. It is heartbreaking and disgusting and just unbearable. After this horrific attack occurred, the… Read more

  • Uncle Joe Day

    As I posted a few days ago, come hell or high water, my daughter and I were determined to make it to a rally for our Democratic candidate for Senate, Doug Jones, in our statewide special election. Since many of my readers aren’t from my state, Alabama, let me give just a quick overview of… Read more
