Wave of emotions Flood my being I can only imagine The door being closed in my face I have no place to go Ripped from my family's grasps No warning Waiting on the other side is my freedom You're not welcomed here is what the sign reads A melting pot? The land of the free? Innocent not doing anything wrong You have helped make America great Your only sin is what you believe in It could have been me The feeling of traveling abroad and coming home To be turned away Or you are coming to see a sick loved one I am sorry but you're not welcomed I watched as the elderly man wept His tears ran down his cheek and he said I am a good person Why? We stand with him in solidarity and can't explain The only thing we can all do now is pray Pray for the families separated Pray for peace Pray for they know not what they do!!! Blessings, Patricia A.

Welcome back !!! It's a new year and people are making promises to do things differently Going to the gym, eating healthier and turning over a new leaf Also what we have stayed low key about is how many people are afraid what this new year is going to bring There is a new leadership, new agendas, and people are scared that they won't be heard. So for those of us over fifty years old let's get back to basics!!!

Stop and get back in the saddle again there is a wealth of resources in front of you. We as a people we need to come together and help each other and not divide If I have a wealth of knowledge on a subject and someone was to ask me for advice I would ...

Starting Over As the year 2016 is coming to a close there is so much to ponder Great Icons have passed David Bowie, Prince, Carrie Fisher to name a few. The first man to walk the moon has accepted his new assignment and is now in heaven The most controversy over an election that I have witnessed in my 1/2 century is not over and more are frighten of what is to come Children are disappearing off the streets leaving their homes to never return You turn on the news and there is a bombing here, a shooting there at a mall, and another life lost We look to our leaders for guidance and what I have heard on television, radio and witnessed it all are unsure Some will tell you to stay focused we have gone through much worse Others will be religious and tell you to trust God I just want to start over! I want to wake up to no wars here in the United States or abroad. You say what wars in the United States? There is a war where there is killing taking place in the United...
