Voter Fraud and Leading by Fear
People are questioning whether there is real evidence of voter fraud today. I think the notion of voter fraud is a conspiracy theory meant to promote Trump’s irrational claims that voter fraud interfered enough to cost him the election. The way I see it is that Trump held massive rallies telling his supporters not to vote by mail.

Trusting Others in Relationships
Trusting others is really a process of getting to know and trust oneself. When we begin to listen to our inner gut instincts and follow the directions that our senses give us, then we can begin to trust our own emotional selves rather than having to put trust anywhere else. Many people will write about how to build trust with others in relationships, but few write about the process of building a personal relationship with oneself in order to hold the capacity for trusting others. Many discuss this topic as though we want to be able to trust someone else, but the foundational building blocks come from first empowering an individual to trust oneself to make good decisions.

The Age Of Aquarius
After watching a video update by The Leo King, David Palmer, he said something that really struck me. He said that the influences today are similar to those back in 1996. I gave this a good amount of thought because it relates to what I’ve been feeling in a lot of different ways. I feel that the collective unconscious is going through this same transformation now.

Out Of The Dark
One day during probably one of the worst times I struggled with trauma, I had a daydream. I saw myself as a young child, maybe 7 years old. I was in a dark well. It looked like I had fallen so deep into the well that I couldn't see the light of day anymore. _Was it day or night?_ I wasn't sure. It was just total darkness. I sobbed and cried but nobody could hear me. I screamed for help and not a soul could hear. Nobody would come. My throat was tight, and my lips were dry and cracked. I was parched. I said and pulled my knees close into my chest. It just felt better to be crumpled up into a ball. It allowed me some body heat or at least the idea of it.

Confusing Touch
As I look back over my life, instead of seeing a victim, I see someone who was strong enough to survive and has managed to turn out to be a pretty decent person despite all of the challenges I've faced. I had an upbringing marked by childhood sexual abuse by my uncle and the dysfunctional family that worked to hide my father's alcoholism. Due to trauma, I developed PTSD. I'm also bipolar which is commonly passed on in families. I believe my father self-medicated his bipolar disorder with drugs and alcohol.

The Confusion of Masks
I was surprised to learn that many Americans do not understand basic science because somehow we all forgot that masks have been working to protect doctors for so many years now that it's silly that experts have to waste their time explaining something as simple as masks to the public. Why do they have to waste so much time doing experiments to prove that masks work without harming us? It boggles my mind.

WH Steals CDC Data
Late in the evening Tuesday, July 14th, healthcare administration was surprised to find out that the hospital data on coronavirus patients will now be sent directly to the Trump administration instead of being first sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by Wednesday, July 15th. This is an appalling move that leaves many questioning the motives behind such a move. Why did the Trump administration decide to cut ties with the World Health Organization, now the CDC, and continuously attempt to discredit everything Dr. Fauci has said about the pandemic?

Glow from Within
Because I'm an author and entrepreneur, I can set my own schedule. This gives me a great amount of flexibility but it also means that it's up to me to be sure that I stick to a routine that's productive if I expect to accomplish my goals. I use technology extensively in goal tracking and planning, write with tools that make that writing process easy, meditate, exercise, eat right, and stick to a bedtime routine. I also fill my day with positive affirmations and plenty of time to get in everything that I love to do. I created a personal plan that works great for me so far. Here are some details about my routine:

Dear Mr. Frumpy Pants
Dear Mr. Frump, I watched your response to the pandemic very closely. I watched you ignore the warnings that you were given, lied to the American people, tweeted incessantly about things that don't matter, exiled all of the experts in medicine (i.e., Dr. Fauci, the WHO, and the CDC), and fail to provide answers to the people at a time we need leadership the most.

Evictions Leave 28 Million Potentially Homeless
On July 27, 2020 the protections keeping people from being evicted during the pandemic are ending. For months people have had rent bills piling up as they are unable to work during the shut downs. Unemployment rates have skyrocketed showing that many Americans are in dire need of money for basic living necessities. Some families have to choose between buying food and paying their rent.

Understanding PTSD Recovery
My story of recovery started when I was very young, and I suffered PTSD symptoms that worsened as I got older. The PTSD symptoms I had developed due to childhood trauma. My father was an alcoholic who had anger issues. I remember times where he would spank my ass all the way up a flight up stairs and make me piss my pants. There were many incidents where I feared that he would actually kill my brother. I would hear loud banging, yelling, and my brother crying. It was horrific to hear. It left me fearing my father rather than loving him or respecting him. As I got into my teenage years, my father's alcoholism became a bigger problem after my paternal grandmother died. My father spiraled out of control for years, and I was often there to help pick up the pieces throughout my entire life until he died in 2016 when I was 38 years old. Alcohol damaged his liver, and the family spent years trying to save his life. My relationship with my father caused a lot of my PTSD symptoms later in life.
