Hi everyone! I'm an author of fiction and nonfiction, a waitress at a restaurant (I love customer service), and hopefully a soon-to-be happiness life coach (I'm just waiting on my first clients). I love weird and thoughtful things.

Word is telling me I need to change good morrow to good morning as though anyone would type that without intention. Do they think I time traveled here and am using a computer and don't know that's archaic? 🤨

We say the government is failing to run this country well, like they are simply doing a bad job. But clearly the sheer persistence of failure means it isn't failure but a choice: to keep the many powerless, to make them suffer for being powerless, to empower the few at the expense of the country.
