5/27/2026....HOW TO GO MAD WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND! This is the name of a book I discovered somewhere within the last two or three years. When I first saw the book and read the title, I felt that someone had reached into my soul, found me, and was laughing at me. I was amazed that I had been found out. All this time I had been hiding, thinking no one saw me, and here it was — the truth — that someone had been watching me, seeing me, living the same lie, suffering from the sa

5/19/2026 Vantage Point Edited Article by Dr. Ron Daniels Despite the triumph of the Haitian Revolution or more accurately because of its success, it was critically important that competing European powers and the emerging United States isolate, marginalize and destabilize Haiti for fear that the example of a Black Republic would inspire enslaved and colonized people everywhere to rise up in revolt.

No Matter! 5/18/2026 I walk around with the devil in my head — and the devil is my dance. As soon as I hear the music, my body, my head, my mind, my soul dance on the wind, in the street, in the air, everywhere. I cannot live without the dance! I move, I move, I move.

4/19/2026 At last, the days of summer are here and so is the intense heat that will soon drive me crazy. But first I have to get all my gardening done. Fertilize the arborvitae in the front yard. Bring in the new ones to the back yard and plant them along the fence. Get some new planter boxes to mark off a special feeding area for the birds so the cat doesn’t chase them or chase the neighbor’s cat. When she’s not chasing the birds, she’s marking her territory all over the

4/7/25 A few days ago, my husband, of all people, explained something I had been experiencing for so long but did not know how to express. I didn’t even know it had a name. I was working on a project and needed to hire someone to assist with the work.This man was one of the people who responded to the ad. The interesting thing is that the very first time I heard his voice, it triggered a deep emotional discomfort—a strong sense of unease. I pushed it aside, but there was stil

2-22-2026 ....... The world seems to be going thru an incredible emotional and psychotic change. We are all experiencing it and it is showing up even in the smallest ways like the way people are driving.
