Silence

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? That’s a good question about my life I came here to be happy. There you go. Amorah – Deb

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”

My Fellow Writers

What are three objects you couldn’t live without? That’s not three objects, and it’s way more than three writers. I hope. As you may have noticed, my blogs since the war broke out probably need their own category called ‘outrage and disbelief’. If you haven’t read “I believe in choices” because I posted it veryContinueContinue reading “My Fellow Writers”

Woke and Sensible

So, there’s a possibility that we are facing WWIII. I’m not going into dramatic language about that, it’s bad enough without adding to it. Are we so sure now that the Woke, who preach peace, respect, and inclusion, are the idiots in this world? Some will say yes because we’re unrealistic, stupid enough to thinkContinueContinue reading “Woke and Sensible”

What experiences in life helped you grow the most? And it’s no way to grow! No one should grow through fighting for your sanity every day. No one should seek to survive a relationship. No one should dread their job or their boss. Everyone should be told one thing and it should be on theContinueContinue reading “The Sad Ones”

I Believe in Choices

Do you believe in fate/destiny? I’ve been mulling over this blog all day, after the slight shock that the American President actually started a major conflict yesterday. It’s horrific. Fate To me is what’s meant to happen, and I cannot see that any war or conflict was meant to happen. Destiny Is anyone’s destiny toContinueContinue reading “I Believe in Choices”

Loss

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. A cat because I’ve no pictures of humans – my phone is too young Plus life is life and all life is precious. Coming from a family of animal lovers, my lost loved ones won’t be insulted. In fact, when I was youngContinueContinue reading “Loss”

What is an Opinion?

This image reminds me of two interconnecting question marks, one from earth and the other from the universe.In other words a higher power questioning what we believe to be right and why?There are two different aspects to an opinion: one that is given based on knowledge and experience; one that is actually a personal belief.ContinueContinue reading “What is an Opinion?”

Marina Monroe

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? Nothing to do with Marilyn Monroe. I’ve mentioned my childhood vision before of a family of six identical sisters. These sisters are invincible, incredibly strong, incredibly powerful, yet have no need of violence or to impose their will. It isContinueContinue reading “Marina Monroe”
