My young brother-in-law came up from his home in California for my husband's funeral.

What would our world look like if everyone spoke THE TRUTH? DO YOU BELIEVE what social media says anymore? It's difficult when every media outlet twists the events of the day for national political gain, or worse, for corporate monetary greed with hidden agendas. We have no idea what reality is in any matter, because of... Continue Reading →
 The most important endangered species on our planet is humanity. We've evolved to that point that we're currently capable of obliterating the whole human race. Earth may be just a spec in the universe among billions of planets in infinite solar systems, yet the energy emitted from one exploding nuclear warhead can be seen beyond our galaxy!  If...

When I married my first husband he'd already barred the RCMP and the Catholic priest at his cabin door with a rifle. No way was he going to let them put his three-year-old half Native son in the school residence on the reserve, even if he was single and struggling to find child care as... Continue Reading →

This Covid 19 time makes me so stressed out.

Do you ever doubt whether any government can make our world clean and safe again? Today I'm taking a look at THEOCRACY: 'A government based on the laws of God.' As one of you pointed out in my last post (Looking Back on Covid 19), modern theocracies can be dangerous, and I agree. When a... Continue Reading →
How will our future children talk about the current pandemic? Yes, it is horrible, earth-shattering, but can it be a wake-up call, and later be made into a catalyst for GOOD? Some say the Covid-19 pandemic was designed to bring on a world government. Our current governments: Democracy, Socialism, Communism, they all have deep flaws.... Continue Reading →
