My Cheri
I’ve always believed that it doesn’t take long for a person’s real self to become known. When I let people do their thing, when they don’t feel that they need to BE anything for me, just a little patience on my part, just observing, the gates open and their true being bubbles up. I find…
Read MoreFibromyalgia
“Living with fibromyalgia” is possibly the stupidest three words every uttered. I don’t volunteer to share or plan life events with fibromyalgia, like outings with friends, dinner dates or even vacations. I can’t even plan around it. I have to “ask” my chronic pain if I have permission to live anything resembling a life. I…
Read MoreVideo from the Compassion Clinic in Tacoma!
Here’s a video, taken from the Compassion Clinic in Tacoma, last spring. On The Road with PartnerCafe and our Partners from Pierce County Aging and Disability, SeaMar Community Health Centers, Children’s Therapy Center, and our Medicare Specialists (Insurance Answers WA) had the pleasure of being there! We were able to help serve approximately 60-70 individuals…
Read MoreOctober
The month of October is the goriest month of the year. With its goblins and ghosts, its succubi and incubi, its body parts and blood, it’s just nasty. Well, it’s just nasty if one isn’t a child, or can’t easily reach their inner child. If one is a child, it’s either dress up time or…
Read MoreLaws
One reason we live in a great country is because of our legal system. Our forbearers worked, under pressure from the loyalists and fear of being executed by the Crown, to create a document that kept any government from taking over this country and eliminating our God given rights. Those rights were given to us…
Read MoreThe First Time Of Hearing Music:
I just sat there and waited. I hesitated my anticipation of joy for fear of impending regret. Should I care if that moment was private, closing the curtains to any onlookers. I knew that soon all would be right, if just for a few precious moments, and the entire experience would be mine alone to…
Read MoreCats and Dogs
To this day I am still amazed by the different personalities dogs and cats possess. From afar they are all alike. Cats are a tiny version of a top land predator and dogs are man’s best friend. Cats symbolically are girls and dogs are boys. (No, they are not bothered by gender identity, they are…
Read MoreSome Days
Some days I don’t know if I am coming or going, crazy that is. I would have sworn that I did this, or that, put something away or got it out, dusted something or vacuumed another thing, made that oh-so-important phone call, or order something for the furry ones. I’m glad I am not asked…
Read MoreToday
With the world occupied with a pandemic, paying bills, hate and violence, stocking up on toilet paper and baking supplies, I have managed to skip most of the drama. I have enough to battle inside my head. It takes courage to keep walking while not falling into the traps all around us. It takes more…
Read MoreI don’t know-
I don’t know. I don’t know. And, I just don’t know. People don’t seem to realize just how exposing these three words can be. In the least the speaker admits to failing to gather the necessary information and at the most – ignorance, both are curable. But, there is a third option; I don’t know…
