Today’s Racial Equity Chronicles… I find it interesting how so many want me to turn my Chronicles into a blog and when I respond with, “No one wants to read what I have to say…” they’ll respond with, “I do.” These Racial Equity Chronicles prove me right. If I talked about what I REALLY wanted… Continue reading 08.09.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… I don’t travel as much as I used to for work so my health fair skills are rusty because it’s rare we have local events. I love and want to keep my job, so I will not disclose my location nor the “interesting” things discussed at my table. I will discuss other… Continue reading 06.14.2019

Yesterday’s Volunteer Chronicles… It was the end of year ice cream social with all the readers and volunteers. The ice cream was late so all the kids were antsy. To kill time, they allowed a volunteer to walk a trained dog (may have been a therapy dog) through the cafeteria for people to pet. Before… Continue reading 05.25.2019

Today’s Gym Chronicles… Because I’ve often been told how people didn’t think I am as nice as I am because I looked unapproachable, I’m glad the new people in class look to me for help (despite being the fattest and a cusser when the weights get too heavy). What I DON’T like is people being… Continue reading 05.22.2019
