Observations From Below: Bearing the Cross

Recently, I had posted on Facebook that I was experiencing writer’s block. That was probably closer than half right. I was experiencing a lack of ideas, which I guess is the definition of writer’s block. But I think I had an idea that was too intimidating to write down. If you follow my Facebook, […]

Observations from below: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

Observations From Below: All Right Mr. DeMille, I’m Ready for my Close-up

Observations From Below: Covfefe

I’ll be open to you all and to say that Health Care advocacy has taken a lot out of me. It’s drained my fortitude and changed my perspective in certain ways. I used to think that Medicaid would be safe from any reductions that might be proposed. The one thing that President Trump said about […]
