Five Years

This post is long overdue... but I figured that I had better get it posted, because I will have another big announcement COMING LATER THIS WEEK.

If you caught my story on Facebook or Snapchat a few weeks ago, then you already know. Josh and Ashley Drew were scheduled to be at Washington County Courthouse for a pre-trial conference on Friday, November 22, 2024. Ironically, the last time I had seen them face-to-face was at my hearing to terminate my parental rights. Five years earlier TO THE DAY. I took this selfie on the way to the…

When Good Intentions Go Wrong: The Monkey and the Fish

This story offers a valuable lesson about perspective, understanding, and true compassion for anyone that seeks to intervene in the life of another, particularly for those in the child welfare field. #stoplegalkidnapping #childwelfarereform #familypreservation #parentalrights #saveourchildren #iowa #iowadhhs

I wish I could remember where I first read this analogy. What I do remember is how awe struck I was at its simplicity… yet how perfectly it captures the essence of the situation. Tonight I decided to add a little flair and expand on the story with greater detail, so you can really get a sense of it. I enlisted the help of chatgpt’s image generator for photorealistic illustrations of the scenes.…

Unlocking the Wisdom of Regardie’s 'The Art of True Healing' (Part 1)

I struggled to read one of Israel Regardie's most influential works, so I asked AI to help me translate and modernize the his guidance on how to harness our own spiritual forces for self-healing and personal growth.

Israel Regardie (1907–1985) was a respected writer, occultist, and teacher who dedicated his life to exploring the mysteries of the mind, body, and spirit. Born in London, England, Regardie became a significant figure in the Western esoteric tradition. He is best known for his involvement in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a mystical society focused on spiritual enlightenment and personal…

Systemic Exploitation in the Midwest

I had a chat with AI about the interrelated problems that I see in my home state, and the practical solutions that anyone can implement to fight back against systemic exploitation. Links to resources included! #activism #bethechange #advocate #reform

I understand the narrative we are consistently warned to expect. I can easily envision it playing out like a Cold War-esque standoff. The Terminator, John Connor, Sky Net, that dude that could melt into a metalloid puddle…. But… who says that we our relationship with Artificial Intelligence has to be all doom and gloom? I have come to see it is as a beautiful ally. A little helper that can take…

Happy (belated) Festivus 2024

A little history about Festivus before I share about Senator Rand Paul's annual Festivus Report on wasteful government spending. (Warning: some pages contain GRAPHIC descriptions of animal abuse!)

I am a few days late, because Festivus is celebrated on December 23rd, but I still want to say, others that celebrate it, HAPPY FESTIVUS!!! Up until last year, I had never heard of Festivus. To be honest, I was never a fan of Seinfeld growing up. The TV sitcom ran from 1989 to 1998, with reruns for several years after that, but I had watched maybe two episodes in my life. So I missed out on the…

WTH are Directed Energy Weapons?!?

Please! Be aware that “voice to skull” technology is a thing! WTH is that, you ask? Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) involve the use of technology to assess and/or influence the mood, thoughts, and behavior of a targeted individual or group using frequencies that people cannot see or hear. And by “voice to skull” (V2K) technology, I am saying that YES, they can broadcast specific thoughts,…

Human Know Thyself

Picture this: thousands of years ago in ancient Greece, travelers from all over would flock to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, eager to ask the Oracle life’s burning questions. The Oracle, a mysterious priestess said to channel the god Apollo, was a big deal. But before anyone could approach her, they’d walk past a famous inscription carved into the temple’s stone: “Know Thyself.” A maxim is…

Even though it is specifically written for caregivers of people with disabilities, they do present a lot of good information about how to advocate for yourself and tips for navigating our complex…

Pathway to Peace from Ancient Greece- Lysistrata

Shout to The Unknown Lightwarrior with the 144K HQ group for introducing me to the topic of this post as a means to achieve world peace. And after reading the famous work from Aristophanes, I am inclined to agree! The play Lysistrata was produced in 411 BC during an era of Greek drama known as Old Comedy. Per Britannica Online (2024), the style of Old Comedy plays feature “exuberant and…

New Video: My Testimony (They aren't going to like this!)

Check out my latest creation! Featuring a video of my testimony at the hearing for the termination for my parental rights.

I just posted a new video on YouTube. And I have been working on it for A LONG TIME. I couldn’t even guesstimate how many hours I have put in on this one. Off and on for months. I wanted it to be just right, because it is THAT important. I tried to keep the video as short as I possible. It starts with a brief summary of my DHS case, with the help of my beautiful mini-me Bitmoji. I had to…

Gratitude as a Healing Tool

Harness the strength of gratitude! It's a small shift that can create a huge impact on your life.

This time of year is difficult for a lot of us. Holidays are typically spent celebrating with loved ones, so they amplify feelings of grief and loss for those of us that aren’t able to do that. Whether someone special has passed away or they are no longer apart of your life for another reason, doesn’t matter. The feelings are there, all the same. Up until a few year ago, even if it had been a…
