God, Grace and soulful living.

Hello Everyone.

I have returned from a long absence. Writing is such a effort intensive  process and life style. It is really necessary to step back and simply be, be yourself sit down and not think and tune out distractions, leave cares and worries  aside and simple feel one's own primal life force and connect with God, through silent reflection.

Being a person of faith is a struggle to practice the daily effort to love ones self and forgive oneself for all the things I dislike in myself. It has been my personal endeavor for many years to accept and love myself as I am, and extend the same grace to others.

Love is such a wonderful thing to have in abundance, real regard not false bravado and vain preening. Real I love myself and like myself just the way I am,  that kind of healthy esteem is based in dignity and joy.


Writing is such a intellectual exercise  it focuses the mind clearly, removing thoughts and directing feelings into healthy activity. Writing becomes a close counter part in one's soul a habit and character
trait stamped on my heart mind and soul.

But loving oneself is a challenge, we have to keep honest and admit our flaws and work to improve our intentions, goals and behavior, teaching myself to write and becoming a writer has been one the most rewarding and growth inducing goals I have ever set.


Writing teaches who we are, who we are not, what we think, why we think and how it shapes our lives.

Writing is any time you express you ideas of the mind in a written format, a list, a journal entry, notes every time we write we are exercising our minds in a effort intensive action which sharpens out wits, broadens our sphere of interest.

Well writing has done these things for me, I had to delete, rewrite redo work I thought was well done and finished, and later discovered that was only a prologue.

I learned to see my world more completely through the discovery of more knowledge on issue I was well informed on, even better self-education lead me to search out different ideas and beliefs to  understand myself instead of attempting to ask other to understand me.

It also taught me this, to look around and see the promise and beauty in everyday events, people and let go and simply admire and adore the simple pleasures of life. It is why I began to snap photographs  of everyday life that so brief and greatly inspiring.

Lifes Weird Little Side notes.

Freedom it is such a cherished concept in the west, it is held to be one of the cornerstones of society.


People have always fought about freedom. People have either fought for it or fought against it .
 I will die to have to have freedom , or  The powerful attempt to suppress freedom because it supplant them from place in society and strip them of power and influence.

Freedom is not a concept anyone can ever be neutral over or compromise on one either is free or oppressed there is no middle ground or grey area.  Yet there are levels of freedom and like most things how free you are is determined by your society, culture gender and class.

Sadly it  is when people mistake freedom for Anarchy it becomes a travesty. In society total freedom
actions with no consequences. A " do your own thing it doesn't matter who it impacts" would quickly bring down society not uplift it.


It ironic that people cherishing the belief anarchy and freedom are interchangeable are usually the most disenfranchised and most likely to be exploited if the rule of law fails.  I don't embrace the rule of law because I fear freedom. I understand without the rule of law based on  duty and inter related obligations between a  people and one another and their government there is no free society .

We work to be honest and upright in ourselves to live free without oppressing others, the best way I can live free by respecting the freedom of others as important to my own personal freedom.

Hello Everyone



Welcome to Life's Weird Little side notes.

 I chose this name for my blog because, life often feels like an odd sequence of events that appear in no order and written in barely readable writing in the corners, on the edges of the page.

Life  does not  give  concisely  written events or interests. No life hurls  everything all at once, but it lands in corners, under water all around and we have to chase it. While we chase it we are squinting at this book,  the words are there who we are, what we do, but it is so hard to read because  print is so small. If you also  are looking for your reading glasses or a telescope to examine an event of issue in your life, this is the blog for you.

I make no pretense of having answers to your troubles, or being wise nope I'm just a fellow human wandering arounding looking for my pen and my glasses and my coffee cup.

No it's not a decline of age I'm to young for that, no just the regular wandering of a soul walking room to room.

I will  write my observations on issues in my life, funny or sad issues, issues not people. This blog is not about slamming anyone, but rather learning how to live and get along. People as I interact with them yes,  not people as the problem no.


People as the problem are a distraction from solving the issue that is driving circumstances which often people react to with problematic behavior. So the real solution is clarity of mind to observe the circumstances, resolve to address the issue once identified  then handling it, while the person needs understanding even when you would prefer to slap someone silly, or kick them down the block and away from you.

So it's not a mommy blog , yes I am a Mother but no I feel no need to share that part of my life as a focus of a blog although it will come up from time to time. It is not a news blog.

Once again welcome to Life's Weird Little side notes.

Thank you everyone for coming.
