Today is a very important day- it’s National Coming Out Day. If you are afraid of coming out, please know that there are SO MANY people who will love you just the way you are. Probably many more than you think. I don’t have the T shirt, but I am, and will always be, a safe person to come out… Read more »
Today is National Good Neighbor Day! My husband and I have been blessed with wonderful neighbors. Having good neighbors makes your move more comfortable for sure. Recent polls show that around 25% of us don’t know ANY of our neighbors. I don’t understand how that can be, but I live in a small town. I’m guessing it’s mostly people in… Read more »
Yes, I do mark this day every year. And I will continue to do so until the myths about black cats have been banished. I will continue to do this until black cats are adopted at the same rate as cats of other colors. Black cats rock. Everyone should have one. I have two right now, and if my husband… Read more »
Today is the day to celebrate your siblings and your parents’ siblings. It’s Aunt and Uncle Day! As anyone who knows me even a little bit knows, I LOVE my niece and nephew. They are my pride and joy and I will brag about them to anyone who will listen and even to people who won’t. And on the flip… Read more »
I LOVE this one! Today is Embrace your Geekiness day! I could argue that I do this every day. I play clarinet in multiple municipal bands. I fan-girl over Mythbusters (that’s me with host Adam Savage in the pic). I have a (mostly) useless BS in Biology. I used to be my family’s tech support person – thankfully my husband… Read more »
Last week marked the one year mark of Lilly being a member of our family. I don’t remember exactly how I came up with the name Lilly for her. Maybe I knew more than I realized, because lately I have suggested that Lilly is actually short for Little Miss Mayhem. She still has very much a kitten’s personality and energy… Read more »
June is Pride Month. While we should support equal rights for all people regardless of their sexual and/ or gender orientation year round, it’s especially important to increase our understanding of the issues these folks face this month. So, today I’m taking on a question about transgender people specifically that’s bugged me for a while now. That is the notion… Read more »
Today is a fun one! Who among us has not thought at least once about wearing a tiara? Sure, a few people got to wear them in high school, but after that, opportunities to don one are few and far between for those of us not born into European royal families. But today, we all can! There is no law… Read more »
I’ve seen a new trend that I don’t like one bit. More and more people are opting to have no services of any kind after they pass on. I understand not everyone is religious, so a church funeral – or clergy led service of any kind- may not be wanted. I also understand that a full on traditional visitation, funeral… Read more »
