Yes, the most nauseating for sure. And that’s really saying something!

Yes, it is a spiritual practice. It absolutely is.

Sandra, I am with you on this. When you get the opportunity to be with your YA child, do it if at all possible. I find that I often have to drop other plans, but the memories you make are just too precious to pass up.

Wow! I have never been asked a question like that after a lecture! (But often at the grocery store the cashier will ask, “Did you find everything you were looking for?”) But what an amazing question! Such a caring question! I will make a point of finding out more about Audre Lorde.

I add my thanks to Bishop Buddy. Her voice was gentle but her words cut like a knife.

Leonard’s clemency was the only thing that got me through yesterday. The only thing that bothers me is that he will be under house arrest forever. Was that really necessary? I think not. Also he desperately needs to see a doctor. He should be allowed to go home immediately for health reasons.

In this time of uncertainty and hardship, we need art more than ever! Jeff Beck who died suddenly in January of 2023 was a remarkable guitarist, but more importantly, he was a caring human. He and Johnny Depp formed a beautiful partnership which ended too soon.

Pleasant, what a poignant thought! Gave me a lump in my throat. I was moved watching Johnny Depp walking through this exhibit.
