My Dream Chocolate Bar

Daily writing prompt
Describe your dream chocolate bar.

I would say that dream chocolate bar would have a lot of peanut butter inside and maybe outside too. So more peanut butter than chocolate. Preferably dark chocolate.

Pride Month Has Begun #Pride #LGBTQ

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States.

Pride month is a global celebration recognizing the LGBTQ community around the world. The work of acceptance and full inclusion continues. As an ally I’m proud to stand with my friends in the community who seek justice and to live their lives without fear.

In The Old Hood Today

So, I was in the old hood today for a funeral of a friend who had known me since when I was a baby. It always feels strange being up there because I don’t have immediate family there anymore. Also, the church I grew up in is under new management. It’s like when you leave a place often you don’t return there. I was formed as a human being there in public schools and through the faith community of my childhood. I still know people there but as in life, we all go our separate ways. As time marches on I don’t miss it although that place is forever a part of me. Thank you to the 886 for your part in making me who I am.

Ring Of My Memories

I’m saying farewell to my high school class ring today. I have no one to pass it on to and the gold from which it’s made can be sold for much needed funds. The ring is full of memories but I have these images to remind me of days gone by.

Harry Potter and Memorial Day

Nothing says Memorial Day more than watching Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. Remembering the Wizards and Witches that gave their lives in defense of Hogwarts.

Why The Anger?

Why are so many people so angry, furious, outraged, and pissed off all the time? It does no one any good it seems. The harm that is done is long-lasting and colors the soul. I know from some experience.
