Where would you go on a shopping spree? New York – No No I’ve always wanted to go to New York on a shopping spree, but not now. I can’t support the actions of their President. It is the right of every country to live as they wish, and the duty of the people toContinueContinue reading “Rethink”

Old News
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance? My middle name is Ann and I’ve told the story before that my dad wanted to call me Ann, mum didn’t like it because I’d be called Annie, so my aunt stepped in and suggested Debra. Neither name is really right. I’m happy withContinueContinue reading “Old News”
Don’t Trust America
What is the last thing you learned? However, let’s not go there. No point when the lunatic has taken over the asylum. It’s a huge tantrum just because someone wouldn’t give him the Nobel Peace Prize. Or this one. Hey ho. In many ways those cartoons sums up this world rather nicely. Give us aContinueContinue reading “Don’t Trust America”
Peace
Tough stuff and way too simplistic, but also true. There are obviously people with very real reasons to feel hatred, and although it’s awful those of us who don’t have those reasons must not judge. The sad thing is when the hatred began centuries ago and it’s been passed down the generations until it doesContinueContinue reading “Peace”

No I don’t understand their reality. Nor do I want to. It’sContinueContinue reading “About Trump’s War”
Overcoming my Upbringing
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? That’s it really. Becoming a nicer person by choice. Although I will admit the current world situation is challenging my hold on decency and non-violence. Can anyone please explain to me why people think killing is okay? Especially when the Bible isContinueContinue reading “Overcoming my Upbringing”

A Grandaughter’s War
In around 1999 I wrote a poem called “A Woman’s War”, which is in the poetry section of this blog. Never did I think I would write a follow up, yet today that poem arrived, it’s below, and writing it actually hurt. Trying to get my head around the fact that we could be inContinueContinue reading “A Grandaughter’s War”
