  • Tulips in Winter. I got these a few weeks back & just had to share. I like being grateful everyday, not taking small moments for granted. Remember lockdowns are there to protect you because of COVID. I know it’s hard but take it one day at a time & one moment at a time.

  • A new Hope

    I am stealing the title of Star Wars to express how excited I am about yesterday’s festivities in D.C. It’s really lovely to have a grown up in the White House again. Everything went off without a hitch.

    Biden has many things he needs to repair, as the country is in shambles. COVID is surging across the country & the hospitals are flooded. But I am sure he’ll manage, one step at a time.

    I cried in front of the TV last night, feeling like I am no longer living in exile. Today I just feel exhausted from the stress of the last 4 years. Something I wasn’t sure would come to an end.

    No more rambling tangents or mocking people with disabilities. Or yelling at the media. It feels surreal but good at the same time. Biden has alot of work to do but if anyone can do it he can. I have faith for the first time in 4 Long years.

    The country needs to heal from the trauma & the Insurrection that took place 2 weeks ago. It’ll take time but I believe it can happen. There’s finally real change at the White House. Yay!

    Till next time, smile things will be okay.

  • Is America broken?

    Yes, it has been for years & now there’s social turmoil on top of a second impeachment. America was & felt broken when I left over 4 years ago. The Twittering, unstable & fraudulent President is an international embarrassment.

    In the 1990’s I thought America was great, I felt proud to live there. Now, however I am mortified by what it has become. A boiling pot of racism & sexism that the world has a hard time looking away from. I am embarrassed that I used to find it soo idyllic & pure.

    Other countries used to hold America to a high standard but since the storming of the Capital last week, the world is astonished that they gave the current administration credence. As am I. Knowing that the world will never give America a second chance after what occurred.

    I feel bad for the incoming administration as it has 4 years to repair a sinking ship. Internationally America will not be looked on with rose colored glasses. When the Capital was stormed, the world shook. That shaking has not stopped.

    Is there a way to unify right wing extremism with the people wanting the police departments reformed. I doubt it? America is at a crossroads & it will take decades to bring unity back to a country so lost in it’s own trauma.

    I feel saddened by what happened, my heart still breaks thinking about it. Now, only time will show us what will happen to a country I once adored.
