This is always a somber holiday for me. I haven't celebrated it since my parents passed away, and I have zero desire to participate in it. This is where my version of faith differs from others. I have my reasons. I am going to take this holiday to write, read, reflect, and try to focus … Continue reading Happy Passover 2020

As I knew it would, this story became about "gun control", as opposed to addressing rampant global anti-Semitism. There is so much hate in this world directed all over the place, and there are too many people in public office who make an incident like this worse by twisting it into their own hate-filled game. … Continue reading Solidarity

People make an awful lot of assumptions when you keep the majority of your thoughts private.

I’m not the kind of person anyone should be making assumptions about. I have … Continue reading Letting It Pass

I was in bed last night right after The Blacklist ended (If you don't watch this show, you should. I never intended for it to become something I watch, but the pilot had me hooked from day one.). I flew up the steps, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and after double-checking cat bowls, got … Continue reading Sleep Interrupted

It's no secret: I'm fucking exhausted. Fibromyalgia, migraines, and two hundred truckloads of stress are slowly trying to kill me. Every day, I wonder if a heart attack or a stroke will take me out.
