Lose to Win
Sometimes you have to lose the short game to win the long one. I am sure someone else has said this more eloquently or famously than I have. I am certain that someone has said a quote with the same meaning. Of course, we also know that I do not mean a game literally, but…

No Veganism for Me
Be aware that there are some very disturbing scenes in this video should you decide to watch it. It is also over an hour long…. Gary Yourofsky is an animal activist and vegan. With my step-daughter and her boyfriend having recently gone vegan (about a year now) and coming across other vegans lately, I have…

Patience is a Virtue…?
As a child I do not know how I was with patience. I imagine that I held it all in and worked hard to never show my annoyance. Does it mean I was patient? Perhaps I was thinking that waiting patiently would bring back my Omma to me. Possibly the anger and sadness that came…

Making Progress
Well, decisions are being made and actions are being taken. By the end of the day we will have (hopefully) made our security deposit on an apartment here (same as this post): Although we had initially thought to get a 3-bedroom, there was a 2-bedroom that we decided would be smarter for us to take…
