Rediscovering The Goofy Me

This holiday season I am dedicated to rediscovering the goofy me. I have missed this fun-loving person that has been gone for the past few months. Depression isn’t fun but I wanna overcome it and finding the dorky, silly, crazy person I have been in the past is something I want to do. You will be along for this ride and your support is welcome.

We live in an era where boundaries are being tested in human relationships and appropriate behavior.

One question I have is where is the line between being friendly and being flirty? Are they one and the same or different? What do you think?

 

 

I Stand With Elephants…No To Trophy Hunting

The Trump administration announced Wednesday that the remains of elephants legally hunted in Zimbabwe and Zambia can now be imported to the United States as trophies, reversing a ban under former president Barack Obama – From The Washington Post

I think this is a horrible idea and will harm efforts to protect these majestic creatures. Trophy hunting is kind of a narcissistic exercise that has wiped out species of animals over the years. Especially when it comes to elephants and giraffes who seek to harm no one. Hunting for survival is one thing but killing an animal for sport is wrong.
