America’s Children

I penned this post with difficulty because my heart is heavy. It is a heartbreaking time for the parents of Uvalde, as well as for America as we mourn the loss of yet more children due to violence. We weep for the young lives lost due to the psychopathic actions of an evil being. Evil rose and young lives were denied the opportunity to flourish to the fullest. My heart breaks.

America wept once more when evil rose.

My heart aches as I sob quietly for your children, our children, my child and our country. I cry alone and I cry with my friend as we both try to put our overwhelming grief into words. But words are not necessary, because we are mothers, we are parents, we are Americans and we feel the pain of Uvalde’s mothers and fathers. Again we cry.

America wept once more when evil rose.

Get It Done

Why we wonder, has this darkness again engulfed us and taken our children? There is much that needs to be done but who will do it?  The children who survived the Parkland shooting took to the streets and raised their voices, and thousands more around the world joined them but still nothing was done.

We listen to the whispers, the conversations, the inquiries but what do we do… nothing and another day goes by, another year passes. To those who lead, remove the Kitty Genovese syndrome attitude of indifference to our plight and do something!

America wept once more when evil rose.

My faith encourages me to believe that soon something will be done soon, that his will be done but when will it be done? My sadness seeps into my soul but I dry my tears, take up my pen and I remember the children… America wept once more when evil rose.

Cosmetic Surgery: Women versus Men

Women more than men struggle with their body image. According to the American Association of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) 92 % of the more than 15 million cosmetic surgeries performed in 2020 were performed on women…whoa! You are probably wondering why… body image, the focus on physical appearance.

Women are motivated to choose cosmetic surgery for a variety of reasons, including body restoration after pregnancy, aging – to restore a youthful appearance, and to satisfy cultural projections of the “perfect” woman. Others may require medical treatment to correct birth defects or after trauma such as cancer to help them feel more complete. Regardless of the reason for your aesthetic surgery, male or female, you should never be made to feel unworthy because of how you look.

Perfection expresses itself in many different ways. Start your day with a perfect cup of the Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica, the birthplace of reggae music. Every sip is perfect! https://amzn.to/3wB0piX

Who Are Mothers?

The dictionary describes a mother as a female who gives birth to a child or a female who rears a child with love and affection.  I would go further by adding that a mother is also a female protector and a friend. I’m sure many people will agree that the descriptions are befitting for any female who unconditionally loves and cares for a child. Mothers are dependable and the majority will continue to support their children in some way even when they reach adulthood. Mother’s Day – Thank You For Love!

Plastic causes damage to our marine life and landfills. Plastic pollution is real and the world’s ability to deal with the fast-growing volume of disposable plastic products is being overwhelmed. Our waterways are fast becoming dumping grounds for plastic garbage. Additionally, there are fears that the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) used in the manufacture of plastic may be connected to health problems such as infertility and neurodevelopmental problems in children. This is a major source of concern because we all want our children to be healthy and have fully functioning brains. Happy Earth Day: Take Care of What You Love Now!

You can tell that a product contains BPA if it is marked with this symbol

They are discovered in tunnels in the ground, the heart of flowers, the hollows of trees, fresh-water ponds, seaweed jungles between tides, and even drops of water.

The Theme

The theme of Women’s History Month is ” Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope.” Many people immediately think of their mother when they hear the theme, which is a natural and heartwarming thought because mothers are innately nurturers. However, there are many others who assume similar roles in our lives but are quite often overlooked. The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us that female frontline workers are the glue that holds our communities together.
