Why I don’t support Columbus Pride

I don’t go anywhere or deal with anyone where I’m not wanted, respected and/or appreciated! So here we go…. It’s Pride week here in the capital city.…

Regrets after surgery

Disconnecting from social media

I decided around a month ago to start logging off of all social media at 8:00 pm; unless I’m contacted directly. And let me tell you…this has been the best decision that I’ve made in a long time. I use this as a time to pray, read, write, take a walk, workout and just wind…

Dear Andrew Caldwell…….SUS!!!!

Enough is enough girl! These shenanigans have gone on for far too long. It’s painfully obvious that you have SERIOUS, I mean SERIOUS mental issues.

May 2, 1963 – The Birmingham Children’s Crusade of 1963

Let’s take a moment and applaud these teenagers and even those a bit younger who are out here making their voices heard; not only in Florida, but around the country. Enough with the talk about they’re too young, they aren’t old enough to vote, etc. This is a totally different time even from twenty plus…
