She stood amidst the smoldering fire. She was wearing her fireproof boots. I mean, of course she was. She was always prepared. Others had called her paranoid, but they don't anymore. Well, no one says

My response to freedomtribe's truth challenge. Really love this one. It brought up a lot for me on a topic I think about a lot. There are many terrible lies in our world right now. I mean, how do we even

Which came first? The chicken or the egg? I have no freaking clue, and I think it's an impossible question. This week's @ecotrain qotw is a similar kind of question, but it's maybe a little easier to answer.

We all know how passionate I am about kids and their rights and freedom. It's my thing. You know, everyone has something they get passionate about. For me it's kids and education. When we first started

This is for the ecotrain question of the week about what the unconscious mind is and what it does. Last summer I left yet another long term relationship. He's the father of my two youngest children. We

Nevermind.

So I already showed you the Quebec pics. When we left Quebec, we went to Niagara Falls, briefly to Toronto, and then to northern Ontario. It was a really wonderful adventure. Canada is so mellow, and almost

I wrote the other day about the state of the world and how it's freaking me out. I get so frustrated because I don't know what to do. Bigotry and hatred are rampant. We seem on the brink of war. Again.

So, as some of you know, I just spent a little over a month in the US. I hadn't been there in about 2.5 years. It was really bizarre for so many reasons, and this is clearly the best community to deconstruct

So I was finally able to take a trip with all four kids. Lulu is 5, and I've wanted to do this for a long time. Reuben will be 21 in just a few short weeks. Sophie is probably graduating next year. So,

I'm back! Well, I've been gone for a good, long while now. I've been adjusting to single motherhood. I've been working two jobs. I went to the US to see family. I took all four kids to Canada. It's been

It's taking a toll, you know. All this madness in the world right now has me pretty beat down. It's all good, I know. I get that it's all coming to the surface to be healed, but do we have to do it all

How does one deal with/accept a loved one who displays self destructive tendencies? This is the @tribesteemup biweekly question. The tribe is a beautiful and mutually supportive community. You can find

I saw a comment today. This person’s analysis of 2018 was, “What the fuck was that?!” I'm in total agreement. This year has been a shit show. This is the @ecotrain question of the week. “What is the value

I'm so excited about this @ecotrain question of the week. I suggested it to my fellow passengers because I think play is incredibly important. I think it can make the difference in living a profoundly

This is the @tribesteemup biweekly question. What would you do for society if you had all the resources you needed? Boy this is a big and loaded question! My first thoughts were about what I would want

There is nothing more important than raising children. The older I get, the more I'm sure of this. Violence, rape, war, and more are direct failures of parenting. Children do not raise themselves, and

I moved here to Hopkins at least in part because of the community. People here are friendly. You know, minus the kid who said, “death to all americans!” For the most part, everyone here is really kind.

Well, it's been quite the shit show in the US this week. I have the distinct feeling next week will not be much better. They will do a fluffy, cursory investigation, and whether they uncover anything or

What does esoteric mean to you, and how has it influenced your life? This is the @tribesteemup biweekly question. It is also part of the 1up challenge. This is a special #esoteric bounty post for 1UP,
