Wisdom in everyday life

  • Funny Girl

    I don’t know about other women of a certain age but the biggest risk was always “being yourself”. Born with an inquisitive mind and an even larger mouth made “getting along” with others nearly impossible. I had a habit of saying what was on my mind, even as a wee one! Why couldn’t I be Read more

  • Ill again!!!

  • Goal splaining

    Humans are funny characters. We have believed since our brains came on line, (well most of them) that we are actually in control of…something.

  • Can you be true!

    In a world of popularity, the idea of trust, loyalty and just being true, has become an uncommon attribute among humans. This is a, dog eat all the dogs, world. What “we” wanted in a newspaper, news station, even a dating site, was truth. Can we trust you to be true? Is it possible to Read more

  • I read The New York Times everyday, to keep my finger in a certain realm and to know what’s going on in the Art world. As I go through the first section of news I am appalled by the nature of human reality, we hate each other! Still! Everyday there is reports on horror going Read more

  • I am in my 60’s now and have never been so assaulted by so many messages about what I could do to make myself look younger than I have now! As if my heath and more importantly my intelligence isn’t more dear to me. I grew up in a red neck world and intelligence wasn’t Read more

  • Most people don’t understand life. The eternal questions of; Who am I? to What is my purpose? until finally, What is life about anyway? Questions that can’t be answered because the answer is ever changing depending on life circumstances. There is no question of what is life about if you are running from war, famine Read more
