Sir BUDDY:  My sidekick and assistant  I wrote this a number of years ago. Thankfully, I can capture these thoughts and moods as they are dispersed into the universe, hoping optimistically, it can help others. My one daughter told me once:  some of her friends, read my blog for shits & giggles when they're drunk. I really haven't imparted that much advice over the years, if anything, sharing that as you enter your 50s, you are charting a new course in life.  No differently than the cliff to leap beyond becomes a metaphor for being at the tip toe point  before you jump :: into a relationship, a new job, a difficult decision, financial security. I haven't written on this blog for quite some time:  I've been dabbling (cheating on this blog) with creating my own domain website - more than once with different providers (I will write about later), sidestepping to Wordpress (which turned out to be less blogger friendly than anticipa...

A time of fresh, new beginnings Most people would say that they think the year begins January 1st ... then there would be other theories on when was the beginning of time?  I'm reading around on faith, inspiration and wonderful things to know or to learn more about ::.... the constant read-seeker of truth, wisdom, important things & knowledge aligned with my head, when art, photography and aesthetic eye candy.  My sister, Diana, was here visiting a few weeks ago, and she had made a comment to me:  "You are good with the eye, Jeannette."  Being online and blogging, interacting with people regardless of anything other than what they click on their keyboard.   Fine Arts Awards   WINNER :  2016  Ella Maple Rynehart [FacebookURL] I could say it is an eye for talented, classy, smart  people instead.  One without the other would be like a hurricane without wild winds and ferocious rains.  [ REF:  2 the nonstop Hur...

EXASPERATION DESPERATION MOMENTS OF DEPRESSION SPIKES IN ANXIETY are all symptomatic of an employee attempting to adjust to a brutal culture, more military than wellness bent.  MENTAL HEALTH Is an increasing crisis that is rising to the top of society's concerns, bias, alienation, bullying cause this to rise. COMPANIES MUST RISE UP Out of compassion, recognition not by the decrease in productivity, but extreme measures in which to communicate that any form of racism (in any form by way of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, origin or otherwise) even reversed racism:  bias against white skin.  REVERSE DISCRIMINATION is rampant but silent.  The media's credibility is at an alltime low.  Charges of fake news or media focus on despair and violence, of which ratings can be capitalized on and more advertising revenue raised. HOW THE GOVERNMENT LIES There is a phenomenal episode or documentary of HBO (who is not just Game of Thrones conte...

Under a celebratory mood after decompressing from "another day in the real world" meaning paying the bills so I can retire at freeDUMB75 [my unique self-term ] ... having a few chuckles and many inspirations from circulating around the community online. When I am online, as a form of escapism of the mental or mental-health kind, I am the driver of my path merely by the barest of fingers only by tips, I can navigate what I am reading [mostly] relatively carefree but usually in the knowledge accumulation or enlightenment or humorous vibes. You see, I am the driver, mechanic, doctor, therapist, politician, activist, feminine, enthusiast who loves her city and likes to see the best in everyone and everything.  Unlike so many of us, we've been kicked a few times, had to kick back another moment, if not physically, mentally inclined. My mother and even youngest daughter have communicated that I am too much of the trusting kind.  Then on an excursion adventure minutes fro...

Hey Cheery You, Just want someone to know what is going on because you will notice me being away for the next two weeks.  10 days of which are vacation with 3 days of suspension. THAT WOMAN hustled me, graceful lady, union rep and me into an "Investigative Meeting" yesterday at around 11 am, giving me 15 min to mentally and physically to prepare with the Union Rep {lovely nice gal, fairly new to the role but really a natural in conflict resolution and mediation--she REALLY should consider as a career choice!}. THAT WOMAN had 2 areas of concern: 1) Calls with customers, and 2) Adherence to schedule Well, ironically I knew I was in deep sh*t when I got to work yesterday morning, going through my email first thing.  There was an email on RP&O with the "APPROVED" subject with link to NOTA appearing.  So naturally, I clicked.  To my gasp, it had only approved one third of what the CANVASS was about.   You see, my husband and I had some...
