They are there every Monday in Brea. This was my first time to this one. But boy, it soothed my soul. I spent an hour dancing to music, cheering on the cars who honked, and talking weight lifting with Jadyn. I ran out of the house without any sign, so I was glad Ang brought […]

I feel such a void watching the news. As does everyone. So much pain and overwhelm. My brother and sister-in-law live in Edina, MN, and I’ve kept sending them crazy text messages. My sister-in-law is not working at this moment so she’s literally driving people to work – who are too scared to take the […]

I was skimming over my categories here on the blog and noticed I had one called politics. Ha. I went through some of my past posts, which were 12+ years old. Prop 8, Obama, Women’s Rights. Nostalgia. I’m glad I posted about that stuff. I never did it enough though. Although what’s to say is […]

I’m still on a high from last night. I keep trying to explain it to my husband and he doesn’t quite get it. People think this uproar is about terminating a pregnancy after 5 months. It’s not. It is about the woman’s right to choose. It is also about a woman’s right to be HEARD. It’s about […]

I simply need to keep repeating that I am heart broken over today’s tragedy. It’s nothing new to say. It’s nothing interesting to say. It’s just that I am so sad. I can’t believe that a person would walk into a classroom and shoot down innocent children. This writing is mostly for me. To be sad. […]

I smiled when I heard the news that New York had approved same-sex marriages. I loved seeing the rainbow photo of the Empire State building. Did you see it? It was beautiful. This morning, I enjoyed this article from David Frumm. A decade ago he opposed same-sex marriage yet now? He changed his mind. I’m […]

Every weekend I enjoy going through Lisa Barone’s weekend links over at Outspoken Media. She always finds at least ONE thing I end up sharing on Facebook for the week. Funny or touching, I always like to skim through them. There were two this weekend that I wanted to share. One I already passed to […]
What an amazing night! I was glued to the TV all night long with the company of Sam and G and my Twitter friends 🙂 J finally came home at the tail end of McCain’s speech and we watched the rest of the festivities. Wasn’t that amazing? I had chills watching the people celebrate all […]
I voted! The Eagle’s voted! ShirleyTipsey voted! Krysta & Nicole voted via absentee ballot… I trust them… I think. WHO ELSE VOTED? And another question would be, should I go get a Krispy Kreme donut??
Are you? You better be. If you aren’t, and you need help – just call me! I will come help you and get you to the voting booth! LOL – I’m serious! I’m actually a little worried about bringing two kids to the voting booth myself but I should be ok… I will probably do […]
I just watched Barack Obama’s political TV spot tonight. It gave me chills. We need him as President. I am a Republican but his voice, his thoughts, his presence… We need him. To survive. To thrive. On November 4th, please make your voice heard. Yes, I want you to vote for Obama but whatever you […]
Facts v. FictionProposition 8 would eliminate fundamental rights for a group of Californians. It’s unfair and it’s wrong. Fiction: Prop 8 doesn’t discriminate against gay people.Fact: Prop 8 is simple: it eliminates the rights for same-sex couples to marry. Prop 8 would deny equal protections and write discrimination against one group of people—lesbian and gay […]
