A Beautiful Revolution
I’ve never really liked my looks. Oh, there’s been times I thought I looked good but overall, nay. My mom (who obviously had her own self-esteem issues) told me my body bothered her “symmetrical eye”. Translation: I should wear padded shoulders to balance out my hips. For the same reason I was also supposed to [...]

Hillary was defined as the “B” word but if she’d been defined as the “L” word would she be Secretary of State?
Words shape our thinking and in turn our actions; since I’m writing a blog about thinking about our thinking I had to pose the question. If Hillary had been defined as a lady (the “L” word) would she have lasted to the end stretch in the Presidential primaries and ended up as Secretary of State? [...]

Woodburn – Wimp or Warrior
The headline read Obama – Wimp or Warrior. I didn’t read the article, I couldn’t. OK, I could have but I didn’t. Why? Because the headline alone made my blood boil. Before you might categorize me as a liberal or Obama groupie please understand that Obama isn’t my issue with the headline. My issue is [...]

Focus and You May Miss The Bigger Picture
There’s a computer word game I play. There are five columns in which letters are continuously dropped. The goal is to make as many words out of the random batch of letters as you can.

Where You Stand Determines What You See
The point of today’s blog isn’t political affiliation, rather it’s another example of how a person’s experiences affect their viewpoint or belief systems. An article in today’s Morning Call ( http://bit.ly/57O8HO ) tells the story of a lifelong Republican, Anne Horosky, who voted for McCain & Palin and never imagined that she’d host an event [...]
