    I find it interesting that people want to put labels on things and want 'proper places for them'. It's a part of human nature. Everyone does it. We label, we organize, we assume. What we need to do is look at those labels and assumptions a

    Whenever you look at news stories, it is important to think about potential biases.There aren't just the biases of the news source, but the biases of society, the biasesthat you have. We all have certain biases. It is important to be awa

    When you look at a situation, there are always different viewpoints. Here's the thing, many of them will not agree. It takes a lot of work to come up with your own opinion. It is definite that someone will use a viewpoint to try to seem like

    Music is an integral part of much of our life, movies, shows, events. For the most part, many don't give it a thought as to whether it is political in scope or that they are activists. Some misuse their music and then are surprised by the ar

    So far, I'm still trying to find that change that I keep hoping for. The news doesn't change. Some forms of intolerance have gone on unchecked for a hundred years and some even longer. Are we running out of time? That answers readers and li

    I think the main point I had in this blog post and podcast was that misinformation, disinformation and myths exist and are out there. They kill more people than any facts could. They are used to manipulate people into thinking things that are

    When you see all the events, even from the past week, there are so many things that could be different and people could say similar things without harming another and so many different ways to look at things. We have some who protect all priv

    After spending a night watching the stars (literally for a meteor shower), we got to spend the next night calming a dog that panics over loud noises and was panting through a huge thunderstorm that knocked out the power. We stayed with him un

    In this day and age of politics and politically charged stuff, mix in faked accounts and other such things, then one doesn't wonder that it is so easy to lose focus, to find distractions tossed in the path to finding some inner peace but also c

    People often forget in this instant gratification world where you can have anything at the tips of your fingers in minutes, that people still have emotions. People haven't given up having them and sometimes, even the best struggle with them.

    Sometimes things are not always so simple or straightforward. Unfortunately in this idyllic simplicity concept, there is a scorpion that lurks in the garden. If people would only accept that all things are sacred, we could find peace. There

    Today, being the actual 37th Wedding Anniversary for myself and my husband is my big celebration day of the year. Usually pretty quietly. Life isn't always simple and it isn't always clear. The road ahead sometimes gets murky. I cannot unde

    Two holidays in a row, I kind of lost track. Sorry for the delay. The thing with criticism is that honest ones will often get you further along the path than anger or insincere ones. One experience is not seen the same by everyone. For exa

    I think one of the most important messages about Mass Media is that it be used responsibly. Choosing carefully what we watch, stream, share can help. Perpetuating myths and misinformation will destroy us. Love is the only thing we can take w

    There is so much in this world that we cannot know. There is so much in this world that gives reason to hate. They use religion, race, class and orientation to do it. Pick something and people will find a way to misuse power. To walk quiet

    There is so much hate in the world, I think that is one of the things that I hate most. Mostly based on fear and mostly targeting people who are different from the perceived group. Often they want to force one to be part of a perceived group.

    Generally retirement comes when people are ready to wind down from the everyday grind. Some hit that time faster than others for a variety of reasons. There is no way around it except for the other option...one either works until they drop...

    It is surprising just how much just one construct in the meaning of life "happiness" can create so much dissent. To some it means one thing, to others another. So, there is no real agreement. We use language and its constructs in ways that h

    So much in this world relies on cooperation and yet, often we fail to reach this or even makeit a goal. For example, in the USA, one group wants guns available to all, others see potential issues...and sadly, the potential issues are being

    I think of my statements in my podcast and blog post, the most controversial ones are to be selfish in your healing journey and you might not find forgiveness. First, when I talk about selfishness, I mean that it is most important to have your

    When it comes to diets, as I said, there is no one size fits all. There are some diets that are necessary...for example, the Diabetic diet is a difficult one. This is a diet that can be complicated. Remember, I said not all diets are for eve

    One of the things to remember is that there will always be people who need to learn things the hard way. There are a lot of people who lack in empathy. There are a lot of people who, as my Grandmother used to say, "make mistakes with the trut

    April 1 has come and gone. Still those same issues persist, much to my disappointment. Politics seems to skirt the issues. They want to blame the victim. In the case of the school shootings, the schools should have better security. When so

    I find that assumptions tend to make their way into every day life. People assume because some family are one way, they all will be. This is not always accurate. People can change and learn over time. Some people never do. It is not good t

    It seems, within the political sphere, there is enough to keep comedians in business. Stephen Colbert, for example, has a nightly monologue which often consists of the latest current events. I have to admit, that I rather enjoy his humorous t

    From a historical perspective, there has been a lot of hate shared in the world. It has not improved anything. Some of what I talk about in my blog post and podcast has kept old prejudices in the forefront. It has enabled future generations t

    Many people go by the theory that you can run every place exactly the same. I have found from my own experiences that this is a very mistaken notion and only serves to make things worse under certain circumstances. As a counsellor in a small
