My Lenten journey this year has been one of love. I don't mean that to sound Pollyanna or turn the other cheek. It's not that at all. What I mean is that I am doing my best to approach each situation with an open heart and to filter all the noise through love. There are plenty, and I do mean plenty, of situations that hurt me. There are more than a few, way more than a few, people who cause me distress. But, ya know what? I'm not everyone's cup of tea, either.
For too long, I was reacting to things that offended me, that opposed my beliefs, that were counter to all I hold dear. I tried to educate, but let's face it, I was doing what was being done to me, even if I was convinced, and honestly still am convinced, that it was the right thing. I tried to strike down the fear and the hate with a loud, booming, confident voice. A demeaning, belittling, self-righteous one.
I am trying to understand, even if I don't agree, what led to the differences. I am trying to hold space so someone else can be heard the way I want to be heard. I am not jumping up on my soapbox but listening, not judging, and calmly offering my perspective, even in small, digestible amounts.
I meditate each day sending love, peace, harmony, and healing into the world. It is not always easy, but overall I am feeling more balanced. If we want to dispel the shadows, we need to shine a light. If we want to overcome fear, we need to offer solace. Love truly is stronger than hate, but hate is so much easier, and that is why it seems so much more prevalent.
Be the Light.

2026 looks ominous for media, from Hollywood to journalism Critic at large Eric Deggans says that in 2026, audiences have more power than they realize to determine the future of news and entertainment.

We have to make sure to use our own "Power of the Purse." We have the power to keep ethical, unbiased, true journalism profitable and, therefore, the preferred business plan.

California high school student suspended after MAGA hat he wore to honor Charlie Kirk was stolen, sparking dispute An Orange County, California, high school student said he was suspended after his “Make America Great Again” hat was stolen, sparking a political argument with another student.

Adults, shush! The children are speaking!

It seems they are far more level-headed than the ones in charge. The students moved on, made up and remain friends.

DC Circuit shreds Trump admin for concealing spending data, demands that it be made public An appellate panel has squashed the Trump administration's plans to keep a "Public Apportionment Database" under wraps that tracks how congressionally appropriated taxpayer dollars are being spent.

The party of transparency? Yeah, OK. I'm in the market to purchase a bridge, thinking maybe the Brooklyn area.

Republicans Would Rather Shut Down Congress Than Discuss the Epstein Files The lesson for Democrats is that they should force confrontations, especially when they drive a wedge into the GOP base.

How does their base not see the cowardice? Or, since fear is their main source of sustenance, is it simply A-OK with them?

57% and 59% disapproval rating in two polls and 53% in another. Seems like a trend.

Senate keeps provision curbing judge's orders in Donald Trump's budget bill The Senate kept a controversial provision that experts say threatens the enforcement of court orders in package of Trump's legislative priorities.

After No Kings Day, It must be sinking in that they don't hold the sway over the American public they think they do.

You know what to do. Make phone calls, send letters/write emails, show up, make it known this is not what The People want! Remove that provision now
