A Celestial Event

Warning Site For Women
I have dated many men over the years after my divorce. Many of these men find a way to offend me on the first date because they want something for nothing. Others figure out that they need to keep their identity hidden a little while longer so not to reveal their secret identity too soon. It is a little bit like Superman pretending to be a newspaper photographer named Clark Kent so that no one will figure out who he really is.

The Coronavirus
When the Coronavirus first occurred, no one knew what it was. It was all over the news with the first documented symptoms in a small town called Wuhan, China. The first cases were connected to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. Most Americans did not worry much about it because it was confined to that part of the world. There were a few news stories about it and the symptoms the Chinese people had acquired and what the Chinese government was doing to help these people.

The Royal Family
The Royal Family....for years people from many countries have been fascinated by the House of Windsor. This family has money, royal lineage, power, history, royal jewels, and commoners who have watched and worshipped them as gods.

The Power of Establishing Your Boundaries
I have experienced many transitions in my life personally and professionally in the last five years. Some of them have been strong enough to shake the foundation that I stand on and rock me to my inner core. Some of these transitions could not have been prevented. They were part of circumstances that were outside of my circle of control. Others; unfortunately, were a part of the consequences of bad decisions I have made in my past. Regardless of how the transitions occurred in my life, these events have created a ripple effect.

Different Standards
Recently, I engaged in a discussion with my ex-fiance' about the word "great". He told me that he was doing great in life. We had been having a heated discussion because he wanted to move into my new house with me and my son, and we are not ready for that kind of living arrangement in our life or in our relationship.

Based on a True Story
I decided to subscribe to Peacock so my son could watch a movie about Lebron James when I came across this crime series. Unlike the title, it is not really based on a true story. It is a fiction story about a couple struggling in their marriage who just happen to accidentally meet a serial killer.

Holding Out for a Hero
When Bonnie Tyler wrote the song "Holding Out for a Hero" , she really hit the nail on the head. After two marriages to two narcissistic men who were both cruel to me and my son and who both failed to be a father and a stepfather to him, I realize how true the lyrics to her song are in my life. The days and nights that I have prayed for a man that would sweep me off of my feet. Not that I am out there searching bars, dating sites, or hitting up my friends for single men.
