The mind is such a vast part about being human. Your thoughts, your knowledge, your memory. They are all such powerful things. Yet, we can’t access it all. Lately my brain is trying to figure out how to put things into words. I question whether I should write about my life, or write about what I know. Maybe it’s both.

Observing the movement of life for clues about my ‘why’ — or — The chair that changed everything
The invitation was to notice how my life ‘moves’ and to look for clues about why I’m here. Being in the flow of life, being in the river so to speak, movement is constant, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. I’m the one moving, choosing, navigating, starting and stopping. That’s me, identified with the flow itself. Sometimes popping my head above the movement. Rarely stepping back from the moment itself.

Memories
I was thinking today about memories, specifically how very much we cherish the good ones. I was inevitably drawn to the immortal, hauntingly beautiful ballad by Barbara Streisand from the movie with Robert Redford in “The Way We Were.”

Freedom Thieves
Freedom is the sound of the bat smashing into the ball, and the feel of dirt under your cleats as you race to first base. Freedom is the smell of your grandma’s waffles, wafting from the kitchen on a Saturday morning after waking up to the sound of sizzling bacon, and not your alarm clock.

About Roe vs Wade
I just read an article that rattled me to my senses, and makes me want to scream at a litany of white fascists who tout a ‘woke’ culture while advocating fascism, and facets of life that would definitively be equitable to modern day slavery.

8 REAL Things Poor People Do That Rich People Do Not
Many of them are fascinating and entertaining to watch, but they don’t fully explain the difference. DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RICH AND POOR IS THAT RICH PEOPLE WATCH TV WHILE POOR PEOPLE DO NOT, OR THAT RICH PEOPLE SHOWER MORE OFTEN THAN POOR PEOPLE?

6 Super Rich People Who Live Like Regular Folk, Their Philosophies
It would be a dream come true to any of us if we could work merely for the love of the work we do, and not because we have to pay bills. Although there is a lot to be said for responsibility and having to show up and deliver in whatever your profession is. It keeps us humble and disciplined.

We’re All Potential Refugees
Humans are inherently destructive. We’re always looking for a way to eliminate each other. Power-hungry leaders amongst us, deranged Imperialists, and expansionists use war to achieve their dark agendas. And since leaders that are unafraid to unleash terror on innocent humans still exist in our today’s polarized modern world, it’s possible that regardless of where you are, you could become a refugee or be counted among the dead as happened in Afghanistan, Libya, and currently, in UKRAINE.

Girls’ Education in Times of Crisis: Why It’s More Important Than Ever
Conflict and Crisis can have a profound impact on the education system. It can destroy infrastructure, disrupt schooling and force children out of the classroom. In times of emergency, getting girls into school is not always a priority for families or governments. It’s often said that women are the backbone of their families and communities. And in times of crisis, that is more true than ever. When schools close and hospitals shut down, it is girls who are left to take care of their younger siblings and parents. It is girls who must find ways to get food and water for their families. And it is girls who are most at risk for abuse and exploitation. That’s why girls’ education is more important than ever during a time of crisis. It is a well known fact that educated women are more likely to get married later and have fewer children. This means that they are better able to take care of their families and contribute to their communities. Educated women are also more likely to be employed and earn higher incomes. This is crucial during a time of economic downturn, when jobs are scarce. In addition, educated women are more likely to have a voice in their communities and be active in politics. This is important for ensuring that women’s needs are taken into account during times of crisis. Girls’ education is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It is an investment in our future, and it is something that we cannot afford to lose.

There Are 2 Pillars To Cheating In An Intimate Relationship
I recently spoke with a woman and she told me that her husband was cheating. Because I’m the “Relationship Les Brown,” I’m here to serve. Therefore, I must shed light on these serious heart matters. So the question is, “What is cheating about?” In other words, what are its roots? Everyone who follows me knows that I believe everything has a foundation. I call them pillars. This is how you build things. Just like a tree, you plant a seed, the roots grow in the ground, and then the tree comes out of the ground. The roots in the ground are what give the tree its stability.

I Didn't Know It Was The Last Time
That winter, the snow fell in blankets. I dug my small hands in the snow off the side of the porch. Stacking groceries from our refrigerator in the caves I had made after the electricity had gone out. Always careful not to get too close to the kerosene heater inside. The winter before, I had fallen on it and burned my cheeks and hands.
