Transgender Awareness Week, observed from November 13 to November 19, is a one-week celebration leading up to the Transgender Day of Remembrance, which memorializes victims of transphobic violence. There are two people in my life who are in the process of transitioning. It’s more important for me to be an ally who can support them as they begin to live their authentic self.
It’s that time again to fall back. Set your clocks back one hour before turning in tonight. However, it would be ok to be early for things tomorrow. Or enjoy an “extra hour” of sleep. You do you boo.
After a few days away to tend to the death of my grandfather I am back on a more regular schedule of posting and engaging with you my blogging peeps. A break can be good for the soul and hopefully recharge you. I hope you are all doing well and caring for the ones you love in this life. Thanks for your concerns. Keep on blogging.
Time is an unstoppable force and a journey. If we are fortunate we have people who will walk with us in this life. Our lives are like a string that is sometimes straight, sometimes crooked, sometimes knotted. No matter what we must live as each day is our last. Be thankful for every minute we have. Hit a home run, hit a 3-pointer, and spike the ball of life. Do what you can to make your life and the lives of others special.
Maturity, enthusiasm, and experience are invaluable.
Right now Republicans are incompetent and incapable of leadership as long as they bow down to Donald Trump and his base. They are not serious people who want to do what is best for the country. It’s frustrating to know that they are making America a horrible place to be in.
Both Democrats and Republicans have a responsibility to do government and governing. They almost put the United States in peril because they couldn’t pass a spending bill due to infighting. Putting people before a political party is vital.
Law and order should mean something here. Accountability is something Republicans used to believe in. Honoring the military with more than just lip service is important.
I do miss the Republicans of my childhood. Where did they go? I don’t mind some fiscal conservatism as long as it’s not harmful to those on the fringes.
Once again I’m going on record as saying that I hate Donald Trump for what he has done to good people in this country.
