Humanity begins at home.

Between Beeps
March 2023. After school, I made my way home as usual. I joked with friends on the bus, then admired the trees along the highway as I walked from the stop.

Cardiac Catheterization and Angiography: A Clear Path to Diagnosing Heart Problems
When the heart is in trouble, it often sends warning signs. Some of these signs are easy to spot, like chest pain or shortness of breath. But sometimes, deeper problems hide inside the heart or arteries. That’s when cardiac catheterization and angiography become essential. These are special tests that give doctors a clear view of what’s happening inside the heart. They are considered invasive because they go inside the body, but they often provide answers that no other test can.

Heartache
Father somehow managed to beg for two loaves of bread and some leftover food. That was enough to get us through the night. Soon after my marriage, I learned that I was going to become a mother.

I Want To Be A Slut When I Grow Up
What are we doing? Is anyone paying attention or are they too busy being self absorbed? We are raising a generation of ignorant, useless, lazy, slut bags.

The Portal of Creation:
Across ages and civilizations, the feminine principle has been revered not merely as a companion to creation, but as its very portal. The phrase “portal of creation” captures a truth whispered through myth, mysticism, and sacred geometry alike — that the universe expresses itself through a generative matrix, a womb of becoming. In this cosmology, creation is not a passive event but an eternal pulse flowing through the living body of the feminine.

Fordy and the Bandit Kitties. AI-Generated.
Once upon a time, there was a friendly little vehicle named Fordy. We meet Fordy on a very sleepy road, beneath a sky full of twinkly stars that seemed to whisper goodnight to anyone who passed beneath them. The moon hung low and round, lighting the road just enough to make everything feel safe and calm.

Product of Lies
Product of Lies My earliest recollection of a lie was at the age of five. It was the Christmas holiday week, and my mom and dad were have an annual Christmas party for friends that included a couple children. The night was a fantasy, like the Nutcracker Suite without dancing. Our house length sunroom, which I always called the ball room was fully decked out in silver and gold garland, hung from each of the recessed lights in the entire room, which made the light refracting off of the tinsel, shimmer and flicker throughout. There was beautifully delicious food laid out and beverages for the kids and the adults. I was going to be a long evening of magical socializing in holiday vignettes.

Picture Perfect
PICTURE PERFECT It was now four in the afternoon, but I had decided that this day and in fact the entire week were days out of time. In other words, they had turned into days that just floated by. And today was a perfect example: I just couldn’t get my thoughts or plans together even though I had decided it was the perfect moment to go downtown to the bookstore and select this year’s wall calendar. I’m not one for rituals, but selecting the new year wall calendar is my way of marking the passage of time. As I said, the day had drifted by and now at four when I was finally ready to go out, my doorbell rang. Truth to tell I was annoyed and almost ignored the bell; but a series of soft taps spilled out from the other side of my doorway.
