Daily Thoughts

It has been 2 months today since my brother died and I still do not feel a sense of loss. I will only assume it was because we had not seen much of each other over the past 20+ years, and there was no interaction between us. Mama is having her moments. I think she…

Well, the campaign ended on a good note as Justin won House District 52. He is taking a break, but I do hope he get back out on the campaign trail as his name is on the November ballot. I do hope that he will be a different kind of politician. I am still tired…

I am amazed at how politicians can be so dishonest and want the world to revolve around them. The bending of the finance rules has been an issue with certain individuals that assisted Justin in his House District 52 win. How many times did I ask to be informed before any expenses were incurred, and…

I can’t recall when my last post was, but not much has happened. Mama is still here, complaining daily about a pain somewhere on her body.

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…

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.…

Roe-v-Wade was finalized in 1973, prior to that the ONLY individuals that could get a “legal abortion” were financial stable white females as they had their doctors admit them into the hospital for dilatation & curettage (D&C) surgery or take the only birth control pill available at the time, Ortho-Novum.

I defended my dissertation on 29 July 2021, and I no have a new title, Dr. Joyce E. Neal. I now have to decide what do I do with my knowledge. Someone recently asked me – “Now that you have your terminal degree, what will you do?” – and I truly could not give an…
