Where I Stand...Just so We're Clear



No matter the results...

I denounce white supremacy.

I value science.

I think there is no place in our hearts for homophobia.

I think transphobia is deplorable.

I think income inequality is just shameful.

I think our military are beyond honorable.

I think our prisioners of war should be held in honor.

I believe in thinking people who don't just follow in lock step with anyone.

I believe that facts are more important than rhetoric.

I think that abelism is beyond limiting and uncalled for.

I believe in choice .

I don’t believe in abortion as birth control.

I do believe in responsible birth control options and access to these.

I find bullies abhorrent. 

I find education and critical thinking valuable. 

I think racism is horrific. 

I think sizism is just mean.

I think agism is so shortsighted. 

I think women should be whatever they want to be without the pressure of anyone deciding that.

I cannot stand cults of personality.

I cannot 100% stand behind any human being who is elected into office. 

I am the daughter of a father who lived through Nazi Germany.

I am saddened to see to see populism grab this country that I love by the throat.

I am sorry we’re in an abusive relationship with our government.

I am saddened to see so many of our country is afraid to leave their abuser. 

I pray for our country.

I pray.

I believe all paths lead to the truth regardless.

Abandonment, Fear and Thanks

I woke up today very early. My significant other and I have a young puppy so that's part of the life at this time. Disturbed sleep. I woke up and just thought well, it's Thanksgiving, let's just be thankful today. I was in a good frame of mind. I had made the decision to just be present today as much as possible. But...in the wee small hours of the morning my always present depression and anxiety had other plans. I went to message a friend of mine. I connect a lot on Facebook so I went into messenger to just let her know I was thinking about her and I couldn't find her. At first I didn't worry, I figured that she and I were both struggling with the election stress and maybe she just went dark for a bit. I get that. I understand taking the mental health break if need be. Alas, she didn't just go dark.  Upon investigation I came to understand that I had a friend in real life that I care about deeply. I would try hard to check on her and send Erik over with various...

Why Do Adults Ghost Each Other?

I'm not sure I understand why we do this to each other...as adults. In so many ways, it feels like we are just grown ups who never outgrew high school.  I have been jealous of others and that jealousy has lead me at times to make moves to guard my own heart because I definitely have fomo (fear of missing out), anxiety, depression, abandonment issues and the feeling that no matter what I do, I will NEVER ever be good enough and in full honesty, I have been guilty of blocking people who have hurt me and people involved in certain things that trigger me because at times I have to look at certain parts of my life like they were addictions or toxic relationships.  I have to accept that no matter what, there are going to be a large and sometimes very visible/vocal group of people who rather than work through things with me person to person and come to an understanding or workable position would rather just make me out to be a bad person. Maybe I'm delusional thinking that I'm act...

The Foodie Review = Week Ending 09/26/20

FIRST TIME RECIPE ATTEMPTS FOR THIS WEEK: Cheesy Spinach Pesto Flatbread   *****out of 5 Stars! Ina Garten's Baked Shrimp Scampi    *****out of 5 Stars! I've decided to make this more of an open format blog adventure and not feel like I have to "fail" anything per se. So instead I'll focus on the week of culinary adventures in my household. First of all, the two recipes I picked out to try were knock out of the ballpark AMAZING (links are above to the recipes). Seriously, they both were just sensational and the shrimp scampi was even better on day 2. However a word of, ahem...warning. Look, I'm just going to be real. I've been cooking A LOT lately. I've also discovered how much I use garlic in the meals I cook. I LOVE GARLIC. However...if you eat a LOT of garlic (as I have been doing)...your ahem, smelly bits may begin to smell like...GARLIC. Seriously, I was starting to worry that the garlic smell was just imbedded in the air, then I realized it was l...
