INSIDE THE ADULT MIND OF AN ABUSED CHILD: lessons in hope and change that can be learned

  I am writing this in hopes of people understanding the everlasting trauma involved with abuse, and how much effort and work is involved in overcoming.   I can’t speak for all survivors of abuse, because there are different levels of abuse and different reactions to that abuse. For that reason, I’m not going to [...]

Republicans versus Democrats: how to tell’ em apart

1. Republican’s usually wear hats.      Democrats usually don’t.   2.  Democrats buy banned books.       Republicans form censorship committees and read them.   3.  Democrats eat the fish they catch.       Republicans hang them on the wall.   4.  Republicans study the finacial pages of the newspaper.       Democrats put them on the bottom [...]

What it means to be Patriotic

There was an article in my local paper today by Leonard Pitts Jr. of the Miami Herald.  The title was “GOP owns the political language”.  He says that the republican party “…has really mastered the language of obfuscation and misdirection, a willingness to unmoor words from their meanings-…”  He goes on to say, “Consider the [...]

MY MISSION
