Poem: Civil Disobedience

There is such a contradiction between what I see on live streams of the ongoing protests against global tyranny and what the media is reporting. I see flag waving and the voices of people uniting for the national anthem. But the media (and government) calls it sedition. I see folks sharing food, building potluck tablesContinue reading “Poem: Civil Disobedience”

Poem: Praise

I’d like to share another poem I included in my most recent poetry collection Shining Hard. I actually wrote this last fall as people were losing their jobs in face of the vaccine mandates. For those standing up for their freedom and all of our freedoms. But reading it now, it also describes the freedomContinue reading “Poem: Praise”

Poem: Nothing Left

Last fall I published my 4th collection of poetry titled Shining Hard. I had gotten in the habit last year of sharing a poem now and then on my blog in lieu of posting to Instagram (which I deleted last summer). But I have not shared in a while, despite feeling like now more thanContinue reading “Poem: Nothing Left”

We’ve Already Won

Sometimes when I’m reading a book that is stressing me out I’ll go read the last chapter so that I can continue reading peacefully knowing how the story ends. I know, this is not really a good quality. However, when it comes to the situation we find ourselves in currently, the world rising up toContinue reading “We’ve Already Won”

To the Truckers

As I sit here this evening in my warm apartment with a snack by my side and a dog in my lap, I think about truckers holding the line in Ottawa and along the Canadian border, that they are probably cold. Uncomfortable. Maybe missing family. And that the euphoria of the first days of thisContinue reading “To the Truckers”

Marxist Hypocrisy

Yesterday I watched some video of Canadian Members of Parliament debating the current situation with the protest in Ottawa. I took exception to a Liberal MP stating that the protesters have made their point and need to go home because it’s not fair to “lockdown” all of Ottawa with the gridlock of their protest. NotContinue reading “Marxist Hypocrisy”

Proud to be Canadian

This spring I will celebrate 20 years since my family moved to America. But this weekend I was bursting with pride to be Canadian born. Watching the live stream videos online (since of course the Marxist mainstream media is either silent or misrepresenting the truth), I watched my fellow Canadians rise up against tyranny inContinue reading “Proud to be Canadian”

Shining Hard

The last six weeks have been very hectic. I sold my house and moved hundreds of miles. I did this while recovering from the COVID fatigue and getting back into my lifting routine, and working everyday. I also used this time to have numerous dental appointments, because why not?! My adventure is another story forContinue reading “Shining Hard”

Always Time for New Adventures

I turn 40 in 600 days. The last time I wrote about the countdown I wrote about the goals I have about turning 40, and the hope I have in the next decade of my life for new adventure. A lot has happened since then. I have already found myself down unknown roads, I haveContinue reading “Always Time for New Adventures”

Things That Don’t Make Sense

News recently broke about a Colorado health care system that will deny a kidney to a stage five renal failure patient due to the fact that the patient isn’t vaccinated. The “logic” here is that being unvaccinated makes this person more likely to get COVID-19 and die because they are a compromised individual due toContinue reading “Things That Don’t Make Sense”
