Are You Really Listening?
Considering we live in a two-party system; I loved Kamala, and I was happy to vote for her. She is such a smart woman, and I loved the joy and the happiness that was expressed in her campaign and in her speeches. The lines to see her were so long! I loved the joy she brought and the hope. Her infectious smile made you happy just to look at her. Kamala is a highly educated and capable woman, and we would elect her to the White House. The first female ever to hold this position. She painted a picture of how it could be for all of us.
But would it? Was she ...

Where Have all the Monarchs Gone?
I just enjoy sitting on my patio, surrounded by the beautiful native plants that grow all along the patio. It is a wonder to me to watch the bees, moths and butterflies along with the birds that visit the plants. If I am quiet enough and don’t move, it is very common to have a goldfinch or other birds that are hungry and want to eat, fly and land on a stalk from the flower that is no more than 6 feet away from me. The birds will stay there as long as I don’t make any quick motions, or my dog doesn’t disturb them. There is nothing better than to see all this ...

In his article, “Don’t Let Liberal Purity Elect Trump,” Kristof lists the dangers if Donald Trump is elected.
I will summarize Kristof’s main points.
“So to those so upset about Bidens’ policies in the Middle East that they are thinking about voting for Trump, staying home or voting for a third-party candidate-I understand. But don’t allow this anger to elect Trump, for that would amplify the suffering abroad that ...
Getting Over The Woman Thing
“Cause if it's the woman thing it's time to get over that...It time to be a man and vote for a woman.“ Sam Elliot, actor
“Most women know the story. She’s overqualified for the job. He isn't qualified at all, but it’s still a contest. Can you see any man having been district attorney, state attorney general, U.S. senator, and U.S. Vice President but being told HE isn’t qualified?” My sister, who has considerable experience with sexism in business.
“The Man's Prayer: I am a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess,” from the Red ...
