OOOPS I waited to long.

I was headed to get something to eat and my tire blew. It not only blew but the steel radials blew my rear axle and side of my Jeep. Yes, I am ok. Shook up...the woulda coulda and shouldas. I knew I needed tires. I was getting a whole new set next week. Should I have put the spare on? Is it a dummy tire? Why didn't I check? I could have hurt someone.

It's a story of life. We know there is a little damage, over in the corner, but we want to wait until we are better prepared to handle it, or can afford it, or until circumstances fit our comfort zone. We don't even try to see if there is a simple solution to get us by. Then the damage it can create is much bigger than looking for the solution. So much wreckage to clean, if we can. Some damage is irreparable.

Walk through the moment, the best we can. I don't really like the word procrastination. I think the act includes so much more than a noun. I do like this definition though: Procrastination in large part reflects our perennial struggle with self-control as well as our inability to accurately predict how we'll feel tomorrow, or the next day. "I don't feel like it" .

 It's funny how I started this blog on "procrastination," and never got around to it...Haha I need to write about it but came online to write something else that is pressing on my heart. 

 POSTING PARTIAL LOL

How do you cope with brutality? Devastation, violation, destruction?

How do you cope with brutality? What about devastation, violation, destruction?  Feel free to let me know. Some people never see that side of life, except on the television, and nowadays it is mass produced via social media. I have seen some ugly things in my life. I have been victimized, much more than I want to discuss here. Rape, gang-rape, murder, children dying, sisters institutionalized because of victimization, later institutionalized as law breakers..Suicide of many...oh so many. The list of atrocities is truly endless it seems.  I can not just sit here and write it all out... I qualify as a victorious warrior!  I am the only one in my immediate family (of 7) still alive. My extended family and my lil nuclear family have seen their share of horrendous victimization too. Where is the hope and strength when the battle continues? What to do when your children are victims? Perpetrators? Potential Victims? How do we protect? How do we apply all that kee

Idea to Implementation-A Calling

People often ask me "Why would you move from Monterey CA to Chattanooga TN?" I hear that question, at least once daily. My story is pretty much documented throughout this blog. I haven't blogged in a while because I have been busy creating a non-profit called Lionhearts. Backing up...I was very ill. I was bedridden for many years. During that time I went back to school (Academy of Art University SF,), ran a business (I.E,) raised 7 kids...and did most of it from bed or in a sitting position. I became a research patient at Stanford, a long enough story in itself and became mobile. We had a sprawling beautiful ranch and every dime we spent on living expenses was taking money away from the cause that I believe God called me to. I had an amazing nonprofit called Artists4Change, encouraging all to use their talents to help their community, their world. We raised 10s of thousands of dollars for many different needs. I loved watching artists

  The only opinion I will offer about current events.  JULY 2020 These are my thoughts and my thoughts alone. He that promotes peace, shall enter warfare to test all theories.   He that professes unity will see the painful lack of it, in isolation.  He who demands kindness in others will see a fire of rage surface,  alienating others, killing all kindess. We shall overcome. The trials and obstacles were Christ's,  Mother Teresa's,  Ghandi's, Buddha's,  Martin Luther Kings and Martin Luther King Junior's and so many more. Those of the greatest achievements of peace, went through hell. Those who promote hate and division appear to be in a spiral of consequential circumstances.  They are not.  They are comfortable in making no change, only unrest and disorder. They appear to be knowledgeable about certain aspects of discord, yet nary a one may bring hope or peace. They will flail and flounder and only the very evil will be remembered for their deeds.  I hope, in peace,
