DISCLAIMER

***DISCLAIMER: These are my thoughts and my thoughts alone. You can agree with me...disagree with me, but regardless it is who I am and what I think. It's not meant for conversation, but rather a one way brain dump to convey my thoughts and share what is happening on this day, at this time. The world has become a complex place from the glory days of the 80's and 90's. Information is immediate and oftentimes inaccurate or biased. Believe what you want but know that these words on this site are true to what I believe. It doesn't have to align with anything you think, compliment you, or try to sway your beliefs and it's not meant to. If you are triggered by anything you read hereafter, good, let's have a conversation. If my point of view conflicts with yours, good, let's have a conversation. Too many people think they have to "pick a side" rather than understanding the art of conversation and too easily have disagreements turned to name calling and cancel culture. Gone are the days of debate and taking a stand on a topic or position and even going further, ACCEPTANCE of others and their beliefs, ideals or persona making up the uniqueness of the individuals. Since the beginning of time there has been conflict. (Thanks Adam & Eve) It will continue long after you and I have departed this world. It's in our human nature, but forgiveness, understanding, and compassion for the person has long been lost in society and it's fearful for me to wonder what my daughters will experience in their lifetime if society further goes down this dismissive path with complete disregard to human life, values and beliefs of our neighbor. It's so much easier to unfriend, dismiss, and name call these days. That doesn't happen here. If you've read this far, congrats!!! I encourage you to explore the growing library of posts below and enjoy the disruptive thought process and exploration of....A Daily Answer***

A New Way of Documenting Life...And Question 1...What Brings Me Joy?

So I took my daughters to Barnes & Noble today to happily buy them some books. Readers are Leaders. I love the fact that in a world of technology, fantasy, Roblox, and spending real money on fake items virtually is an amazing return on investment in my opinion. The fact that my girls love to still read a book, a tangible object to turn pages. I've tried to introduce the kindle or downloading the app on their phones or tablets, however it's just not the same as holding a hard cover or paperback and turning the pages. Placing that bookmark in your spot to return to that world or put it on pause with that bookmark. So while at the store we found these great books in the discount section for 301 ideas to write about and 3001 questions all about me. What a great way to document and convey thoughts in a world that is less interaction and more keyboard warrior. I figured this would be a great way to dump my brain out into the world and truly understand the person I am for those interested or not. It's not for you...it's for me. I'm at a point in my life (43) that I have seen a thing or two and for generations to come they can visit me and my thoughts going forward. To truly know what kind of person I am, what I was thinking at this point in time and my mindset.

So with all that said, I shall make a point to try to provide "A Daily Answer" where I will pull a question in order from this book and attempt to provide my insight, in my way, from my brain, with my thoughts, words and understanding of the topic. You may like it, hate it or have no insight at all. It's meant to be pure entertainment and a way for me to have an outlet and relax at the end of my day. May my wit, humor and peak into the crazy brain be a daily form of entertainment while providng an escape and maybe even a thought of "hey me too" confirming what you already know that...you're not alone.

So without further adue...
