I understandContinue reading “Borders, Boundaries & COVID-19 (BBC)”

Something’s been said! I am a newbie internet blogger. Can’t you tell? My content is sometimes longer than is traditionally recommended. It is often redundant and wordy …. at least my trusted, tribe editor tells me. I don’t have millions of followers (trying to get handle on SEO). No one has called me out asContinue reading “Typos, Mistakes & Pragmatic Lessons”

The MSNBC Hardball host, Chris Matthews, abruptly resigned recently on air after several controversies. Everyone was shocked, including me, who had avidly watched the show for years.

I recently attended Oprah’s 2020 Vision Tour.

I went on a long meditative, leisurely walk yesterday without my cell phone. To my surprise when I returned home, there were news reports stating that Kobe Bryant, the legendary Los Angeles Lakers basketball player, was killed in a helicopter accident. My heart instantly restricted from hurt as if someone had hit me directly inContinue reading “Black Mamba’s Powerful Legacy”

In these modern times, I have been shocked and often saddened by the state of past relationships. Recently, new reports have been focusing on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, also known as the Duke & Duchess of Sussex, choosing to abdicate their official position within the British Royal family. The DIS-loyal-ROYALS seemingly planned, plotted andContinue reading “DIS-loyal-ROYALS?”

As we approach the end of the year, roaring towards 2020, people across the globe begin to think about New Year’s resolutions. They develop goals ranging from losing weight, eating healthier,  finding a new job, starting a business, and to gaining some new prized, material possession. Many believe that achieving these goals will help themContinue reading “A New Day, New Year, New You”

One of the most potent examples of “something’s been said” is when individuals engage in a smear campaign. What is a smear campaign? It can be defined as an effort to mislead, damage or call into question someone’s reputation, by sharing negative information whether truthful, outright lies, or exaggerations. It can be used by individualsContinue reading “Smear Campaigns: Soul Crimes”

“Something’s been said,” is a quote used by members of my extended, Southern family. Although I was raised in the Midwest, I’d heard this phrase every time something suspicious happened within our clan. It means that there is something definitely wrong, unexplainable, off-putting, or weird going on with a family member, friend or associate butContinue reading “HIDE YO CRAZY! ….
