Today, I wrote about a struggle I've had for many, many years with not having contact with the 2 brothers I grew up with. One is 2 1/2 years older; the other is 5 years younger. For years - no, for decades I tried to be their sister; I tried to stay in touch. Only,... Continue Reading →

I awaken early. Too early. I try to sleep again. After some time, I drift into restlessness. A couple hours later, I drag myself to a vertical position after three snooze alarms. I've overslept.

They won't get vaccinated because it flies in the face of their dogmatic beliefs, but that's... Continue Reading →

I'm so sad about the current surge of COVID-19 in the U.S. I'm hurting for all the loss of life especially the children who are now orphaned, and the children who are dying. What most don't realize and American news media has completely failed to put into context is that this is not new. This... Continue Reading →
