The First Un-Thanksgiving Day
The political climate has changed a lot even in my thirty years on the planet. One of my first memories of Thanksgiving involves a pageant that the older kids at my elementary school staged. I was in second grade; my brother in fifth. He was so cool, so strong, so everything a 2 nd grade girl could want in an older brother. And he was the Turkey in the play, the star. My mother spent a lot of time putting together the egg... (posted by Victorya Chase 3 years 95 days ago.)

Simple Acts of Kindness - Help Change the World
When I was in college, well, before college even I was poor. I grew up poor, lived poor, was part of the society that newsertainment professionals like Morgan Spurlock or Barbara Ehrenreich just love to infiltrate to show how hard off it is. Yes, I lived in a car for a while, ate McGarbage. My brother and I dumpster dived as children fit into the giant trash containers behind supermarkets much easier than...

Riding the Emu – A Frank Talk About Depression.
Depression, the silent killer. I hate the commercial that states that, its become so clich now. When drugs are mentioned on every channel, it really seems like well, maybe you really are depressed, doesnt it? It does for me, which makes me fight against it.

Language (Its Power and Trappings)
Of the many things I do in my life, I adjunct at a local college. There, I teach a seminar class to adults dealing with the English language. The main reason people take this course (a total of eighteen hours) is to prepare for the GREs (General Record Exam) and get help in writing their essays for graduate school.

Be Careful How You Think: Tolerance Versus Acceptance
Language is of the highest importance to me, because it is how I define myself and others. One thing I’m saddened of is how the connotations are being stripped from words and our language sanitized. Thus, nowadays it seems people don’t know how to express emotions as much as they are no longer inherent in our speech as they used to be. Maybe it’s just me. When I talk to...
