As I sat at my desk looking at the picture I had just drawn it suddenly came to me !I suddenly realized what this picture truly meant: Now those of you that I have had the pleasure to meet with either face to face or over the phone or even in the many chat rooms on the great world wide web, know that I can sometimes really get way out there in my thoughts . But this is something I have thought about for a couple...

“Well, it looks like you have made a lot of progress out here.  What are you going to do with all that stuff?” “Take it with me, of course.” “You found a place then.” “Yes, I found a place outside of town.  I think I’ll be happy there.” “Emy, I know this has been hard on you.  But we have nothing in common anymore.” “Nothing in common!  Twenty-three years of marriage, two children...

Okay I understand funding troops and the insane amount of money that it costs to keep two million people protecting America around the world. (I spent twenty years in the Navy working on airplanes). There is a lot of sacrifice that goes into keeping America and her allies free and safe. There is also a lot of stupidity that goes into the money being funded to the military and it’s suppliers. In theory...

You know as a single parent, I always took Summer School for granted, not any more!  Here in beautiful California several county school systems have closed their doors to the Summer School Programs citing budget cuts coming from the State Capitol.  Being a Neothinker® I want to look at this a little deeper.   Let’s get down to the nitty gritty.   Warning!  Hazardous Waste Ahead!      We are being...

 I flopped down on my couch.  One phone call from that woman and the merits of my mental health day disappeared.  Tears welled up in my eyes.  I do need to find an apartment in town that will take Simon and my pottery wheel and kiln and the rest of my equipment.  Pottery is my therapy.  The thought of storing my equipment in a place without easy access is unthinkable.  I opened my laptop and looked through...

I’m remembering back to when I was around three years old. This is when I first discovered something different within my mind.It happened all of a sudden, one night when I first fell asleep, with my eyes closed, I saw this movie playing in my head, I saw my closet door, it was closed and I heard voices calling me from within. I got up out of bed and opened the closet door, immediately fright shivered from...

In part one of this blog, I was discussing the injustices being forced upon us by today’s corrupt business practices and governmental deception concluding with the statement, “Can we really live with a five percent cost of living increase while sales taxes have gone up to 29%, and property taxes threaten to go up higher still, even to the point that people must give up their homes and abandon ship...

I sat down at a table in the gallery and read over the contract.  It appeared in order so I signed it.  Meghan made me a copy and then hurried off to the printer.  Meanwhile, Paul showed me around Blooming Bud.  The community hugged the bank of a small stream and the walkway jutted out over the cliff in several places.  Most of the stores were taken by artists of various disciplines.  At the end of the...

 I grew up in the Mid-West and we rarely had sweet tea at restaurants. Usually you got tea with a slice of lemon and you added your sugar if you wanted it. Most of the time, if the tea was good quality you didn’t need sweetener. Well about a decade ago the Navy transferred me to Florida. Most restaurants here assume you want sweet tea. Even if you order unsweet you have to be careful that the waiters...

    One of the newest human research projects growing and expanding rapidly is the relationship between music and the brain. The international foundation for music research is supposedly the leading research group in this area.     There are hundreds of research projects going on but one that grabbed my attention is a study on music therapy boosting melatonin levels, a chemical produced by the pineal gland...
