For New Readers

 Free Speech. I will fight for that and for peace and justice as long as I live.

 Please do not share my posts on social media. I avoid it for good reasons and it is disrespectful  to treat my writing as your own property. Feel free to read back all 15 years if you like, with the many repetitions and joys and sorrows of a life on intimate display. But if you are malevolent, it will just backfire on you. That is also the way the internet works. 

I also do not name names for good reason. If you out yourself, that is your problem. 

I value safety and I always tell the truth as I see it. I do not mind if you share my words with your friends with safety in mind, but I created this so I could write essays and process my life. I didn't know I needed safety until I had a child at age 39. Then as I looked around at the safe place I had created, I knew I could go within and bring up what blocked me in life.

I hope you are also safe on your journey into your own self. It is never easy but it is always worth doing. You do matter. 

Peace on Earth and in the Universe on this glorious morning. Watch some birds and fly. Or do that lego your friend knew you would love.
