Transparency


Is something I believe in -
I was never one that could put on a front - if I'm upset...ya know it. If I am elated...you'll catch it. I have no time nor the energy to pretend to be someone I am not just for the sake of an "image"

I realize that takes some people off guard - I realize it's an alien concept for some especially those who are involved in politics - but quite frankly I don't care - I answer to the reflection in mirror first and foremost.

Another lesson I learned from my father - thank you Daddy!

We all have opinions - each and every one of us - and each and every one of us are entitled to them as we are to our free speech. Own your opinion first...before someone else owns you!

Have you ever known someone with a fake smile? Aren't they the ones that tend to cause the most drama...in the home...in the workplace...in our government??? That is someone I aim to never be.

I've known people in the media from Washington DC...Illinois...and here in Wisconsin - they will whisper in your ear their personal opinion, and then say "but don't tell anyone" - however when you see their report, you know how they twisted it to their thinking -

Me - I'm the opposite - you'll know what my personal opinion is openly and honestly - it's right there on my sleeve - but when I report, I present facts for you to make up your own mind - no need for me to twist anything because I already have ownership of my own opinion.

That is transparency.......what a concept, huh?

Now here on my blog is where I share my heart and soul - where you see the person I am - if you happen to be behind my while driving - then you'll see it on the bumper of my car.....gotta love those bumper stickers!

Google search my name....you'll see it all over the internet - (and for those of you checking...married name is Roberts...let me know if ya need help finding anything -I've already seen the trail of you looking, LOL!)

Nope, there's nothing for me to hide -

I'm a passionate person......
I believe there is good in everyone........
I also believe everyone is capable of evil............
I've made a TON of mistakes.........
I've accomplished a hell of a lot.........
I was raised Catholic, but have since settled into a faith of my own.........
I could never have an abortion........
But I believe that's my choice based on my personal faith...and not necessarily something you may share.
I don't believe in the death penalty........
Nor do I believe in throwing drunks and addicts behind bars without rehabilitation
I try not to judge those who do not share my beliefs...
But I will stand up for mine...
And, if I see you attack another "just because' they're different - WATCH OUT!
I've pissed off Republicans...Independents...and even fellow Democrats - OH WELL!
And I am friends with Republicans, Independents and Democrats - Get over it!
Don't lie to me to protect a false image and expect me not to show who you really are....

Transparency - Be true to yourself - not someone else's image of what they want you to be....

Transparency - It's a beautiful thing!

History Shrouded in Mold - Part 1

  Sipping my morning coffee I sit on my bed looking out almost century old windows and into the backyards of my neighbors. This morning was no different. The sky is grey and there is a slight chill in the air, reminding me that outside that glass is another world filled with life and adventure, stories to tell and lessons to be learned...knowledge to be gained. In other words, hope.  That sentiment brings back the emotions I felt as a little girl. Then, I sat on my bed looking out the massive Victorian era windows of the 3rd floor apartment we called home. It was in the mid 70s -Evanston, Illinois. I loved being able to see into the green of the trees that lined our street. Between the leaves and branches was another world playing out before my eyes. The birds, the squirrels and sometimes even a stray cat - they lived out a day in their life without ever knowing they had an audience taking in their story.  I would spend a lot of time watching them and getting to know their personalit

A Pay it Forward Christmas...

The Christmas Clues came all month long.....a month filled with constant motion ..chaos...stress...and deep inside me the usual holiday dread. Those clues helped to divert my attention away from the emptiness that has been in me for the last few years.... Those memories of a large family coming together where I was the hostess for all the holiday feasts....the memories that usually remind me of the last few years and how much the boys and I have lost when domestic violence entered our home...and what destruction it left in it's wake. Yes, the clues had me looking forward to time that in the last three years or so I would wish I could close my eyes around mid-November and wake up on Jan 1st - yes, me...the one time overly merry hostess had turned bitter towards the holidays. This is the first year in a very long time that I have actually looked forward to Christmas.... That Secret Santa...and those elves....must have known that I was dreading another Christmas...another holiday in

Healing Hearts an outloud journal post.

https://pixabay.com/users/artsybee-462611/ Healing hearts, or I should say the desire to, comes with admitting one’s own wounds which are in need of repairs. I’ve spent the past couple of weeks appearing to be quiet but really I was just doing some internal work while my body adjusted to a switch in medication to combat autoimmune flares. A few years ago I would have tried to push through such a thing and not allow my body, and even my mind, a chance to go through what it needs, I would have pretended I felt fine when I didn’t, thinking that made me strong. In reality such behavior made me weaker and landed me where I am today. Anyway, that lull allowed me to do quite a bit of thinking, planning and decision making. Right now the money raised for the Healing Hearts kickoff campaign is sitting in Go Fund Me — no withdraws made as I am waiting to hear back from an organization and person I trust to take those funds and get them where they need to be, to address crisis intervention for th
