Cowgirl, Hippie, Naturalist

So, I have been told I confuse people. I sometimes feel like I’m a little Donny and a little Marie.
I turn off the water while I brush my teeth. I recycle pretty much everything, and even bring scraps of paper home from work to recycle. I compost. I buy organic. [...]

I’ve Beat This Drum, But Better a Drum Than a Kid

Violence against children is still violence.  I know I have spent a long blog post on this topic already, but it pisses me off and breaks my heart at the same time.  Here goes…

More thoughts on the Preakness

I think I feel guilty. Now as I wait for the Preakness to begin I am watching the clips of the Derby and the whips. I know, my “horsie” friends tell me the whips don’t hurt, but how could they not? Maybe I was too quick to believe the horses weren’t harmed [...]
