I Will Not Comply

I left Sioux Falls, SD this morning as part of another convoy with the American Freedom Convoy. They’re heading to Washington, DC and we were riding a couple hundred miles with them again in support. Standing out in the cold and wind, we had on our I Will Not Comply hoodies which we ordered fromContinue reading “I Will Not Comply”

Logging Miles with the Freedom Convoy!

Yesterday I did one of the coolest things I might ever do. My boyfriend and I logged about 355 miles with the Midwest legs of the Freedom Convoy headed to Washington, DC. In my past experience trying to organize meetings, charity events, and employee engagement activities I know first hand how hard it is toContinue reading “Logging Miles with the Freedom Convoy!”

Klaus Schwab and the WEF

As I write this, I’m in a truck in the middle of the Midwest leg of the American Freedom Convoy. It is pouring rain and for miles and miles, every overpass has been filled with flag waving freedom fighters. I’ve grown to love the sound of horns! But I’m troubled as well because so manyContinue reading “Klaus Schwab and the WEF”

Freedom

I’m watching the livestream of the unfolding situation on the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ontario. Watching the government standing armed against its people. The government has armored vehicles, weapons, men standing armed on a roof – against families with children with nothing but flags and hockey sticks. But it isn’t within this government’s power toContinue reading “Freedom”

Poem: Papers

I wrote this poem last fall after Biden announced his plan for vaccine mandates in the workplace. Of course, the word “papers” is sort of archaic poetry because what they really want is a digital ID. Not just for vaccines. They’ll sell it on safety, protection, ease of use. But it’s a major step inContinue reading “Poem: Papers”

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”
