Covid has become my Series Finale

So my life has become like those tv series that are ending where they bring back the ‘Big Bad Villain’ and long past story lines to hopefully provide closure. I don’t know how my ‘final’ season is going to end, will it finally get that happy ending I’ve been long denied or will a LOST like theme repeat itself here?

How a hug rippled across time

I’ve had a really hard time lately feeling safe outside my home. We’ve been attacked by neighbors calling my Hispanic husband and half-Mexican / half-Irish kids racist names. My daughter has been bullied at school to the point we have her in therapy now – which we are paying for out of our own pockets…

2019 – The year I stopped choosing death

The day I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder was one of the happiest in my life – trust me I know how weird that sounds. If you had been told for years that you had a personality disorder, mood disorder, psychotic disorder, etc because NO doctor bothered to do actual blood tests then finding…

My 9 year old “came out” and didn’t realize it

I grew up in an Irish Catholic home and didn’t have ANY exposure to the LGBTQ community for years yet somehow always felt ‘different’ than the world around me.

You should try dancing with me in the rain

Kids’ 2 Half Days of School? Happiness….

Today Tuesday, 30 May is the last full day of school for my girls. Tomorrow is their Awards Day and Thursday is classroom parties; both days they only attend for a few hours. Now I know that may seem like a hassle to have to get up early, go through all the normal school day…

Time to Declare War on Religion

Since the beginning of time, as far as we know, humans have been a spiritual lot. Before the advent of science, and even after, humanity needed a way to explain the world around them. When and where to plant crops. The changing of the seasons. Life, death and after. How to treat people. That last…

How Christians Can Force You into Atheism

I was raised Catholic and it never occurred to me that I should be anything else especially since my family can trace it’s lineage back hundreds of years. In the 1000+ years of documented family drama every generation has been a part of the Catholic Church to the point they were involved in many groups…
