My Comments (6 so far…)

Have you ever had to consciously choose between starting a family and getting ahead in your career?

My career is my family! I have been a professional mom for 40 years, although I am semi-retired at the moment (are you ever really retired from motherhood?). I am C.E.O. in my family and have raised five responsible adults. Two biological children and three fostered children. I cant think of a more rewarding career and life path.

The wOw Conversation: The Ins, Outs and In Betweens of a Mother's Love

While I was a teen I was rebelious and resentful towards my mother. I expected perfection.

As a young mother I was a know it all. I was sure that my mother didnt know anything at all about raising children.She seemed to get smarter and smarter!

As I have aged I have learned to appreciate my mother and the life she has led and continues to lead. She has a grace and understanding that only "time in the trenches" can teach. I feel blessed that she is my mom and unworthy of her unconditional love.

Have you ever had a great injustice done to you, and have you forgiven it?

Forgiveness is not for the offended.Forgiveness is a gift you give to the offender who asks to be forgiven.If the offender does not ask to be forgiven then you are under no obligation to even consider it. You have a right to be angry, disillusioned and disappointed. You cut ties cleanly and continue on with your life. No anger, no dwelling on the injustices, just surgically remove the toxic person or persons from your life and consciousness.

Have you ever had a great injustice done to you, and have you forgiven it?

Certain things cannot be forgiven nor forgotten. One does not need to dwell on the indiscretion daily as that can be physically and emotionally draining and damaging.To forgive an unforgivable act would be sending the message to the perpetrator and observers that their actions or lack of actions were acceptable. Forget? not ever! those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Joe the Plumber: McCain Made Me Feel 'Dirty' (Audio)

Joe “the plumber” has taken up entirely too much press. Tick, tick, tick, your time is up Joe. You were opportunistic and allowed yourself to be exploited, now you feel dirty…take a bath and move on. We all have.

Eyes on the Campaign Trail Part Three: Who Says Older Ages Equal Serious Health Problems?

Age does not always mean forgetfulness but…unfortunately McCain has forgotten that he was not a prisoner of war. He was a detainee in a police action. Like being held at a traffic stop while the officer investigates your guilt. He is no different than the detainees we hold at Guantanamo Bay. Since this administration has determined that we are not doing anything illegal, the same must be true of the Vietnam police action. No one wants to “toss-away-everything-that-isn’t-fresh-and-new” but it is insanity to continue with a “mindset” that has plunged our country and constitution into destruction.
