Random Thoughts

A few random thoughts from my brain to yours...
  • I found another 'closet' Desperate Housewives fan today. I'm so happy!
  • CNN.com had a question on their front page today: "Do parents need coaches?" I think yes, absolutely! I am totally into mentoring, life coaching, etc., and I definitely believe that parents of all ages should either 1) have a coach or 2) be a coach. We really all need so much help.
  • A question I've been thinking about lately and have been wanting to blog about but have not had the mental energy: "Do we really value unity?" My gut reaction these days? No, we don't. Most people do not truly value unity unless it serves their own purposes. Possibly a generalization, yes. But it is a big topic to think about.
  • "Community" is another thing I've been thinking about. And another thing that I am becoming cynical about. "Community on my terms"... seems to be a little appropriate these days in some cultures. Another topic to explore some day.
  • Went to the park today with the kids and had a great time... it was nice to get out of the house!
  • Quote: "Charisma without Character leads to Catastrophe" ~ speaker at IF in August.
  • It has been raining a lot and I love it!
  • Wish I could watch Rachael Ray's new daytime talkshow!
  • Thanks to my brother's blog, we can all read about how cool it is that the Detroit Tigers are in the playoffs for the first time in a LONG time. The Detroit Lions? True to self lost again this weekend.
  • I want a giant bowl of ice cream and an entire chocolate cake SO BAD.

OK all for now. Brain on overload. Must sleep.

Cheers

And might I add that I'm excited because "Lost" premiers tonight. Oh, another random thought...I'm thoroughly impressed that you even know how to play fantasy football--that is beyond my scope of thinking!! I always enjoy reading your posts! CT

On Compassion

-
The tension has really ratcheted up in the last couple of weeks.     It seems like people are on edge. Extra nervous.     Almost on the verge of panicking. Is it COVID? Is it the election? Is it the constant uncertainty that we’ve all been under for months and months and months… and months?     So many of us thought that SURELY by the holidays we would have returned to ANY KIND of normal – old normal, new normal, abnormal… something.     But no.     Here we are.     It’s in this unsettled state of existence that my heart has started hurting.  It’s started hurting so much for all the broken people out there.  Yes, there’s been a lot of breaking going on.  Broken hearts, broken lives, you name it, things are breaking.  And there is pain and suffering going on.  And people who are broken need to be seen and heard and understood.   I think what’s needed most right now is some g...

On Thanksgiving

-
I read an article this afternoon titled, “You have permission to not be thankful this Thanksgiving”.     The author’s point was that no one should have to force themselves to be grateful just because a date on the calendar prescribes that we should be thankful.     She even brought in to her argument the fact that “the original Thanksgiving” (think Pilgrims and Native Americans) was a horrible affair sans turkey or any feelings of thanks or of giving or of compassion and humanity.     True enough, I suppose. I would never argue that someone should be forced to be thankful.     I would never say that someone should be compelled to give thanks for things that they don’t have or for things which have been ripped from their grasp.     Forced joy is not joy.     I get that.   However, if I’m going to argue about anything, I would choose to argue passionately about one thing in this regard.  And here's the reason:   I ...

Thoughts on Election Day

-
                It’s election day here in America.     A day of red, white, and blue.     Many people have already cast their vote, but others are waiting in lines at polling places, eager to fulfill their civic duty. It’s a day that’s supposed to be a celebration of democracy.     It’s supposed to be a day when we exercise our right to choose leadership for our country that will represent us and help to guarantee that our voices are heard.     It is a day that women and people of color have fought for the right to participate in.     Fought for the right to be included.     It’s a day that’s supposed to bring us together in unity as a nation with hope for a future that will bring us the promises our forefathers, white, male and slave owners they may have been, founded this nation to bring to reality.                ...
