Daily Thoughts

Well, today is April 8th and I am 29 days from receiving my Doctoral hood. Yes, it took me longer than I wanted, but I made it. Over the years I missed a lot of opportunities for leadership positions, but I can’t live in the past. I have some good years left and I need…

Bobby died on January 15th and it has been a downhill ride with Mark. He has filed complaints with Adult Protective Services, filed a stolen car report, filed a home insurance theft claim, and had some attorney send me a letter demanding that I return things that I took out of Mama’s house. I hope…

Well, another year has come to an end, and I am still breathing. From a personal perspective I am feeling very good about self. I completed my Ed.D. program and received my Trevecca transcript this past September. I applied at several colleges and universities, some turned me down, some interviewed me, and two hired me.…

Well it has been 2 months since we picked up Mama and brought her back to Antioch, and I never knew (because she never told me) how bad her health was. I am having a hard time understanding why she was so dishonest about her health. But only thing I can do is make sure…

As I contemplate moving forward, I am forced to look back (just for a minute) too where I have been.  I can honestly say that 2020 took far too long to end. I went off Facebook on 3 November 2020 because I was so disappointed on the number of votes trump got in his failed…

The GOPer’s continue to spew lies, hate, and division in America. The white racist groups are protesting more and more. Their threats to disrupt the swearing in of Joe Biden hopefully are being taken seriously by DOJ and the FBI. When asked they cannot explain votes received down-ballot were legal, but votes for Joe Biden…
