Democracy failed



I can’t believe what is happening in our capital today. I am embarrassed by the acts of these cowardly ingrates. Today the very foundation of what this nation has been built on has been destroyed. Our democracy is in peril, it has been for many months, but today was the icing on the cake. We have a president that continues to incite hate. These protestors are destroying our capital and attacking our police because of him. I wonder if he will be held accountable?? I doubt it. Also, I thought Blue lives matter?? What happened to that??  I think the worse was when I saw an ingrate standing in the seat of the Speaker of the house.  The likes of Gorge Washington, Thomas Jefferson, RBG, and John Lewis would be saddened by todays images. 
We are no longer a first world.  The world is laughing at us. We are an unstable nation who is now prey to destabilization and possible attack.  This is the perfect setting for nations like Russia and China.  Why wouldn’t they take a hit at a country who can’t get their shit together? Would anyone ever think of attacking the Kremlin?  Would anyone make a laughingstock of Commies like Russia and China?  Good old Boris looks better than our moron. All he had to do was condemn the plans of todays protests, he should take direct action and removed these protestors from our Capitol and off the premises. But instead he is a coward who is gleefully watching all of this and thinking this is how he can keep his illiterate self in the White House.

America has failed the greatest test today.  We have lost whatever crumbs of respect we had remaining.  We are no longer a first world and we are no longer a respectable nation.

My Path

This afternoon as I was driving down the open fields of the long winding country road behind my house I was captivated by the icy green fields extending over miles and the glistening long river that ran through the fields.  I felt care free and at home surrounded by such beauty.  I suddenly realized how I had an endless list of possibilities ahead.  I thought of the journey I had ahead and the years of solitude I would have once I had done my job of being a mother.  But I did not want to sit in a quiet room sipping cups of tea and watching telly. I always knew that my life had a different purpose.  I wanted to be a voice for the voiceless in countries extending farther than the west.  I wanted to be centered right in the middle of a conflict and be a walking stick for the ones who had no one standing up for them.  My need to help people and my love for caring and giving kindness to others and being ever so forgiving is no longer a curse to me as I hav...

Sesames

Last night as I drove through the busy lit roads looking at the bright evening sky with the wind blowing in my face I thought of you.  I thought of you and wondered where you were, what you were doing, what you were thinking, and if, just if, there were any ifs in your mind......On nights like this I feel like the skies above me feel my sorrow and yet somehow I feel free..maybe its because I feel one when immersed in such beauty or maybe because it's those times that I can be true to myself and you...who knows..but I still hear the voices and questions in my head, the minute I'm alone or lying in bed or when I open my eyes to the bright specks of sunlight streaming through my curtains and the innocent singing of the mockingbird outside my bedroom window, I hear them, it's as if with your exit came a new companion for me, my own companionship, my twin who always lived in my subconscious but far from haunting me, now she haunts me every day with her continuous questions....Wh...

International Women's Day: A Tribute To The Yazidi Women

Today is International Women’s Day. Last year I focused on women as a whole and spoke of the hardships some of us endure from single parenthood to dying in war torn nations. But this year I want to focus on the women, the girls, the prisoners of war, who are being treated like objects and are being sold into slavery and treated as sex slaves. These girls and women are being raped countless times every day and are giving birth to babies at young ages and dying during childbirth. These victims of sex slavery are not only traumatized physically but also emotionally. When, if they are released from their imprisonments’, they are not able to speak to their families of what really happened to them, rape, because if they do they’ll be cast away from their families because of their family honor. These women are told that being raped by a man or men is acceptable within Islam, this is false information. These women are the thousands and hundreds of thousands of Yazidi women who have been ...
