We are not separate, we are one Human Race

Are you afraid of your neighbor? Don’t trust strangers in the grocery store? Think the worst of people you bump into on the street? Guess what? You have probably been watching too much TV news. Modern media corporations operate by shocking you, making you afraid, or worse. Even the weather…

Moving through time (growing older)

It was pretty simple then. When the mannequins in department stores spoke to me, and helped me find my mother by pointing in the direction she had gone. When my tiny blue plastic mermaid slept safely on her cotton padding in a small white gift box in my desk at…

Did you know you can give more than one clap for someone’s article?

I didn’t — until recently. Jan Sebastian told me. She gives everyone the maximum number of claps (50) when she reads an article. What’s more, she highlights something in the story and usually leaves a comment. This helps you move up and get more noticed. We should all be doing…

Memories and their keepers

How far back do you remember? Not sure how this happens, but at my later age, I look back and really remember things, things from my childhood, specific events, days that happened over 50 years ago. My earliest memory is when I was about 3 years old. We lived in…
