When the Castle Falls
I remember my first thought. It was something about light. If I squinted, the light looked like diamonds. I used to do that when I was a baby lying on my back. Later, I did it on benches in the underground while I waited for the train.

Isabel: Sings in the Dark
I asked my mom, “Why do you sing so much?” Her answer came quickly: “Because she likes singing.” She answered in the third person. Leti, our friend and caregiver, and I were surprised. We were pleasantly surprised. The noise she had been making for nearly ten hours consistently was not out of agitation but out of enjoyment.

Happiness can be easy.
Your journey toward understanding happiness begins now. It is not an easy journey. No matter how much I may try to convince you otherwise, happiness is not an emotion that can simply be found—it is one that must be cultivated. True happiness is the unwavering understanding that you alone are the steward of your emotions, and that no person, circumstance, or hardship has the authority to steal your peace.

Reflections on life in a democracy
Reflections of life in a democracy 80 years of change- for better or for worse? I was born in 1942 with very loving and supportive parents who were ”dirt poor” and never owned a car or a home, but they lived good honest lives. I have lived through many governments, some good, some bad. I have noticed changes in the way politicians conduct themselves, regardless of party. They used to be people convinced of their cause, their plans to improve lives and defend the people of Britain. Now, very few politicians have that conviction and that devotion to the nation we call Britain, and those who have this conviction do not get made leaders of their party. Why? We now have professional politicians, many have very limited actual hands-on experience of how the majority live, even those claiming to represent socialism have never spent 20 years living in rented homes struggling day to day to balance income and expenditure. Many left-wing political activists claim the masses want to overthrow the monarchy, take all the money from the rich, break down social barriers, while the truth is the poor just want to stop being poor, they do not want to destroy what others have, they want to move up with them.

My mother. A very wise woman
My mother was a wise woman. Through her own experiences she taught me everything I know about life. She never thought she knew everything, but would raise me by teaching me what she knew about life. There were three of us living with her. I loved her. I may have hurt my mother at times, but I've always loved her. I'm only human. She brought me into this world gladly, and was a woman to be honored.
