I am me. No more and no less. Just me being me. Living my life with my hubby, dogs, plants, books, kids, ideas, projects, thoughts, musings, stained glass, tasty food, creative instincts, big heart, faith, and lots of empathy, compassion, and courage.

I found this book to have some extremely fascinating thoughts, questions, and research regarding this exact issue.

Flashbacks to the back seat of a 1970’s station wagon and a parent yelling “I swear, if you don’t stop bothering your sibling….”

Photo of Catherine Chung’s book The Tenth Muse with quote from page 5:
“All my life I’ve been told to let go as gracefully as possible. What’s worse, after all, than a hungry woman, greedy for all that isn’t meant to be hers? Still, I resist. In the end we relinquish everything: I think I’ll hold on, while I can.”

With all the horrible, scary, depressing things going on all over, it felt so great to add 34 rainbow spinners to the yard’s Pride Display. Each one represents and honors someone I love and care about who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Yard sign saying “Happy Pride” and “Lice thy neighbor” with hearts in various colors and sizes.

The Chicago museums are ALL pretty amazing. The Shedd Aquarium was always my favorite, but the Field museum and the Art Institute are right up there, too!

Just because the fine print in the “opt-in” contract was very very very tiny, doesn’t mean you aren’t responsible for knowing who you report to…..

Feeling rejuvenated after hanging out with so many others today in Raleigh standing up for all the different things we believe in. My focus today was libraries and my interactive sign worked just as I hoped! #libraries

Poster board painted to look like a book titled Fund Our Libraries

Back of the “book” with various quotes from authors on why books should not be banned

Inside of “book” with the old school library index cards. Each card had a quote from a favorite book.

What does one firefly say to another to cheer them on?

“…when the brain spins nonsense” is a phrase I think I really understand and embrace

That’s pretty standard….to not have standards.

Sounds more like they have embraced the “unschooling” model of education…..as a preschool teacher of over 30 years this hurts my heart deeply…. But it is a real thing: “unschooling” follows a child’s interests rather than any curriculum or concept-based learning

He quoted stats from Milgram’s study about not obeying orders that violate your conscience????!!!! The cognitive dissonance is unreal!

Re-reading a favorite, but this time I get to do it with my Book Club brethren. Hope they like it as much as I did!

The cover of Becky Chambers’ book “A Psalm for the Wild-Built” depicts a winding dirt path through a forest like setting. At one end of the path is a human figure sitting on the back of a vehicle type device while drinking a cup of steaming beverage. At the other end of the path is a boxy metallic robot with an arm outstretched to some butterflies.

Pierce Brown’s book cover from “Morning Star” with quote: "How can I feel so melancholy for so terrible a past? Maybe that's just the nature of us, ever wishing for things that were and could be rather than things that are and will be. It takes more to hope than to remember."
