Dear Reader, Peace is the understanding that though we are each one different, we are all made of the same exquisite stuff. My kids taught me this. OzShalom 1:54 I’m listening to higher love. Today is Martin Luther King, Jr’s birthday. This day always resonates with me, so I’m celebrating it privately. By singing andContinue reading “Let Freedom Ring”

The River Y
Dear Reader, Last night I had a dream. I only remember the very last part. I was standing on a high bridge over a high river that was not completely unfamiliar to me. The river did not frighten me except that I was high above it and my circumstances were less than ideal, to sayContinue reading “The River Y”
Dolly Momma b. 1970🎶
January 10, 2022 Dear Reader, Yesterday a new label hit me smack in the face so I’m going to own it. Here it is. Yesterday I became officially employed as a Homemaker. That’s right.

What It All Meant to a 13 year old named Cole Tucker

I truly have not experienced much depression in the traditional sense untilContinue reading “My Sleep Disorder + PTSD + Righteous Rage = Depression/Fatigue/Fibromyalgia”
Feelings + Seasons of Life❄️
Written by Cole T. Autumn looks like mud, tastes like clean air, smells like dead plants, sounds like snapping branches, feels like paper, makes me feel uncomfortable. Humor looks like insanity, tastes like acceptance, smells like B.O., sounds like laughter, feels like a lack of breath, makes me feel indomitable. Fear looks like the devil,Continue reading “Feelings + Seasons of Life❄️”
Tik Tok. It was fun, except for the whole “Cyberbullying/Deaf Mafia” part
5s8m5m5sd3s (furious) AND/OR 2s8m5m5sd3s (curious) Since Cole’s death in April I have been doing a few things differently. One of those things is trying to have a lot more fun. Fun is something that’s been missing from my life for quite a long time now and that’s mostly because I became consumed by responsibilities. UnspeakableContinue reading “Tik Tok.
