It has come to my attention that Satan’s entering me through my sage scented candles, wellness rituals and new age books.

The video “7 Department Stores Infested with Demonic Influences YOU MUST AVOID.” popped up on Facebook feed. I'm not kidding. #satire #humor

Every one tells you that "forgiveness will set you free" Not always. Forcing yourself to feel forgiveness isn't necessarily healing. Sitting in anger isn't great, but pretending to "let go and forgive" can feel like utter BS.

Forgiveness Isn't Always Healing.
It's not as freeing as everyone thinks. Sometimes intentionally not forgiving makes you feel better. Here’s why.

I've been hormone replacement for decades. So I'm thrilled the FDA removed their black box warning for HRT. But I have a caveat. Don't use synthetic hormones. ONLY use bioidentical. No comparison.

I’m thrilled the FDA finally gave a thumbs up to hormone replacement. But I have one disclaimer.

We are all a salad tossed together! One of the most powerful and meaningful services we’ve experienced in a long time, Rev. Kathy Schmitz’s message on Diversity deeply moved our congregation and challenged us to reflect on how we live out pluralism in our daily lives.

This book wasn't about parenting. It was about the truth behind the painted smiles...It was about me.

The political divide isn’t all tragic. Maybe it weeds out people who don’t share your deepest values. But for people you care about keeping in your life, avoid politics.

It's about democracy and morality. Either you support those -- or you don't. No middle ground.

"You know…. I used to have a secretary who sometimes came to work without underwear.”

My boss smirked, looked over to see my reaction then laughed...

Someone posted a Facebook video warning that Satan’s entering people through pagan stuff like sage scented candles, bath time wellness rituals and new age books. Inviting the Devil to have his way with us....

And I just thought I was just enjoying a bubble bath.

The Trump regime is plotting to convert commercial warehouses to massive ICE detention centers.

Private prison corporations, who just so happened to donate to Trump, are already raking in billions.

How many more private companies are going to cash in on this cruelty?

Back when my daughter started college she was a little shy. I worried if she’d make friends. If she’d be lonely, anxious, depressed. Was she going to adapt? Be happy? Gradually I saw her mature. I worried more than I had to.

What parent doesn't?

My story...

Dear Trump voters you were right.

Although I was mad when you laughed and said I had “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

But the truth is I was deranged. I was naïve and delusional to believe most of you would vote your moral conscience.

I've never been more wrong.

This morning at UUUF, we had the honor of hearing Nikole Parker share her powerful life story as a transgender woman and her work as CEO of The Center Orlando. Her presentation helped deepen our understanding of what it means to live authentically, the real challenges faced by the trans community.
