Experience, perhaps, but wisdom, not likely.\u00a0I just like to write stuff.<\/p>\n<p>This blog isn\u2019t a diet column, political platform or authority bashing forum. There will be no actual \u201cpreaching\u201d, but you might hear the words \u201cKumbaya\u201d and \u201cPraise God\u201d from time to time for which I have no intention of apologizing. For those who already know me or have read my books, I promise not to\u00a0write about breastfeeding,\u00a0or initiate a thread on sexual intimacy (you can call me out if I forget) or have a tantrum\u00a0about how much I hate cancer. Old habits, you understand.<\/p>\n<p>I am, however, unabashedly fierce about mental health topics, human right issues, women and babies, our military members and marshmallow peeps. My opinions tend to be \u201cliberally conservative\u201d, but I am willing to change my mind when additional facts are revealed.\u00a0I will not waste your time (or mine), but I reserve the right to discuss any subject of public concern that piques my interest (and yours).\u00a0 I offer the disclaimer that I &#8220;know a few things about a few things&#8221;, but I\u00a0will never misrepresent myself\u00a0to be an authority on any topic.<\/p>\n<p>I can be strong-opinioned and satirical, but also open-minded and fair with my critiques. I don\u2019t expect you to agree with me all the time. In fact, I want you to find the pot-holes and loop-holes in any common sense position I take on life. Feel comfortable to offer constructive criticism where warranted.\u00a0 I\u00a0appreciate respectful comments and respect legitimate apposing viewpoints.\u00a0I still have a lot to learn.<\/p>\n<p>The human race inspires me, confounds me, makes me smile and sometimes forces me to cry. Every day is another opportunity to learn from each other, and practice good common sense.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you will join me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All pictures featured in this blog site belong to their respective owners, unless otherwise specified.\u00a0 The site owner doesn&#8217;t claim ownership to any of these photos, unless otherwise specified.\u00a0 If you see your picture featured here and don&#8217;t want it to be, message me with the link and the photo will be removed immediately.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UCC 1-103-308 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[Fair Use Notice &#8212; Some photos may contain copyrighted (C) material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.\u00a0 Such material is made available for educational purposes, to advance understanding of nature, culture, art, geography, philosophy, etc.\u00a0 It is believed that this constitutes a &#8216;fair use&#8217; of any such copyrighted material as provided for in Title 17 U.S.C. section 107 of the US Copyright Law.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am not trying to impress you with my wisdom and experience.
