Argh.

I don't use the word "hate" often, but one thing I do hate is when you know you have the power to do good or do better but there are people and things holding you back. It is such a discouraging and frustrating feeling.

I was recently asked to join a committee and because I wasn't around when the committee was formed, many things have already been planned and in my opinion, planned very poorly. I have so many ideas and suggestions but I feel that some of the existing members don't want to disturb what's already been established/decided, closing their minds off to fresh ideas, possibly better ideas, most of which comply with the current industry standards as opposed to what they've been doing so far, making up by consensus. 

Serenity now. 

We're moving to Texas

My sisters, cousin and I were talking the other day about well, the world and its inequalities. My cousin brought up the topic of overpopulation and the overpopulation myth, so I looked it up and am shocked. SHOCKED. It is APPALLING how much I did not know about this.

Just look at this graphic:

Do some research. Remove the veil from your eyes and look into it. Seriously. Do it.

Twenty-Five

Today, 25 years ago, the world lost a beautiful woman. Slipping away for months and weeks before, she let go of the world and all she had been clinging to, things we often think impossible to let go of. A strong, loving, faithful husband. An outgoing, friendly first child. A good-headed, caring and self-less daughter. A little daredevil who was quickly becoming a nurturing woman. A smart, creative and sweet tween. A "bunky", clueless little dreamer. And a hyper, excited toddler, her only boy. Two amazing sisters, a strong mother and father who had been constants in her life, countless friends and family members. And let's not forget a life, with so many ups and downs, wins and losses, one she had worked so hard to fill, one with which she spent most of her time filling others' lives and that she spent all her time living for God. And so it was with full trust and faith that she let go of all of this and went to God, knowing that all would still be good without her being physically there. Maybe not right away, and for everyone she touched, in their own time, but it would all be okay.
