Give it Up?

It's been suggested, by some close to me, that I give up trying to blog and get a hobby makes money. However, I don't think I really blog that much anyways or about anything too interesting due to my awful computer, and that whole issue of not wanting to embarrass or call out those close to me by writing about them on the Internet, ha. I think the only way I could truly write a really consistently good blog would be if I wrote about more real things in my life and those around me. BUT even if I was comfortable with that I would bet money most people in my life would not be. Maybe I'll start an anonymous blog. Hmmmm. Also, what hobbies can I start that would make money? I'm sure if I devoted the time and know how to it I could make money off of blogging but I'm a self-aware woman and don't think that's going to happen.

I seriously considered selling Mary Kay on the side but hubby is so not on board with that idea. He has this crazy idea that I get stressed out easily and wouldn't end up liking something like that. I don't think I'm super crafty but maybe I can learn and start making something cool and sell it online and out of my home....Hmmmm....Or I like to dance and have to say am pretty good at it...nah. That could get messy. I suggested we get some more instruments and start a family band but that was shot down however I think it would be killer. I'll have to think some more on this...

Symbols and Intrigue Galor: Dan Brown!

Have you read any of Dan Brown's novels?? If you haven't, you should. Right away. There's been some controversy surrounding his work in the past but I think regardless of personal religious beliefs, or lack thereof, they are indisputably interesting and SO good! Years ago I read "The Da Vinci Code" and absolutely loved the it. The movie was pretty good for what it was, from what I can remember. However I've heard "Angels and Demons" was even better. Sadly I didn't get around to reading that one before seeing the movie, which I loved, and can see why others said that story served a better novel than the other. As always, I'm sure there was more to the storyline surrounding the Vatican  and how it unraveled than they were unable to pull together in the movie but it's hard to imagine. Without reading it the movie seemed pretty intricate and complete but I know from experience that there's likely details or meaning that I didn't p...

Dear Parents, on the Return of School

Love letter to all you parents out there, with a special shout out to the parents who are also teachers!!  By now most schools are back in session in some way, shape or form and we're all feeling all the feelings. Or maybe you're too busy to (let yourself) feel anything right now and it's going to catch up with you later. Or you're a big fake it til you make it person. Or you're a robot. Those are your options. The word "unprecedented" has been used an unprecedented number of times. So much so that there's a meme wishing for 'precedented' times.  No matter what your school year is starting like, there's some element of change: new protocol, procedures, schedule, physical location, teaching style, requirements, and resources, oh my! So much research, analysis, planning and  work  has been done in order to get this school year under way. Whether your kids are distance learning online at home, going to the actual building, ...

The Female Vote

This past week there have been countless articles about the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. I was so excited I bought a shirt off Etsy.   August 26 th  is recognized as Women’s Equality Day, commemorating the 1920 adoption of the 19 th Amendment to  the U.S. Constitution . As with most of our country's history, the suffrage movement was not without its own issues of racism and discrimination. Black women were not widely included in conventions nor always recognized for their work in the movement. While we celebrate 100 years of the female vote, it's important to remember that women in many states still faced years of unfair obstacles and discrimination in trying to vote. Black women (and men) continued the fight for true voting rights and in 1965 the  Voting Rights Act  was signed into law. This significant legislation provided clear legal support to ensure equal voting rights fo...
