Today, November 6, 2024 is the day that democracy died - the day that america died. What there will be left to salvage in 2028 will be an empty shell of what once was. Why? Because american's voted (in droves!) to forsake their morality and their decency in exchange for cheaper groceries.
The other day I did a short guided meditation entitled "Keeping it Simple and Easy". It got me thinking - how does one keep it simple and easy in the face of brutality, bullies, intolerance, and fear? Today is a milestone for the US. Do we become a police state monarchy or do we embrace our heritage as a democracy?
Like many other Americans, I have watched in horror the political landscape unfold in this country as we seek to elect a new president.
While digging through the archives on my computer (I was looking for a letter I wrote a while back that I wanted to publish) I stumbled across an exchange I had back in January of 2020.
Last year in November I joined a writers group.
I rarely censor my writing when published in blog form.
Three years ago today my mother died by suicide.
I became a christian when I was six.
For my fortieth birthday (which will be here in five months to the day) I want to have a six pack.
Phew, what a week the last one was.
