The world needed a wake-up call. We got one. One year ago, the Trump train pulled into the station of our nation’s capitol. Another patriarch, in this country’s 242 year history, was to be inaugurated to the 45th seat of the presidency of the United States. America, the land of freedom, has never let a matriarch hold this seat, although her womb has given birth to everyone whom has. Under the big tent of this circus train, we have seen quite the cast of characters come & go! Their ringleader has been the biggest showman of them all, Donald J. Trump (DJT), on center stage. DJT has been chipping away at the shiny veneer of the image of manhood and the presidency that got him there.
How I Began
I began parenting in 1982. At some point, between four kids and six kids, I began a practice called, “Fun Friday.” This meant ending the week with a reward. A family movie night, popcorn and a favorite treat. The treat, for me, was my mind could then flow. I got to know who I was…what movie I wanted to watch the world unfold into…and what treats of life I needed for fun.
