A Surviving Facts Blog I had an appointment with my favorite doctor this morning. I have an autoimmune illness, and she has been incredibly helpful in alleviating chronic pain. She always begins her appointments with friendly chit chat, inquiring about what’s going on in life before doing a thorough exam. Today’s appointment went as expected.Continue reading “My Fervent Wish”

Snow White and the Corporate Economy
An Into the Wilderness blog: Story 54 Surviving Facts blog The nights are already turning crisp in New Jersey. Last night, as I sat on my sister’s back porch watching the waning full moon, I grabbed blankets to wrap tightly around my shoulders and legs. I have just moved to my sister’s house while ourContinue reading “Snow White and the Corporate Economy”
It’s not hard to listen
A Surviving Facts blog I’m late for this week’s posting. It’s been busy. My house is now on the market, I prepped for and had a colonoscopy (TMI? I’m all good), and recovered from what seemed to be a mega dose of anesthesia- hence this post will be short. My recovery time has included aContinue reading “It’s not hard to listen”
Packing
Into the Wilderness: Story 53 No, I’m not talking about packing heat. I’m talking about packing up everything you have gathered over sixty years of life and putting it all in storage for at least a year. We’re moving. Or perhaps I should say we’re moving on. After losing my corporate job a year andContinue reading “Packing”
Does the US Now Have State-controlled Media?
A Surviving Facts blog If you listen to mainstream news, you should have noticed by now its watered-down approach to Trump and his fascist policies. There’s a simple reason for this: we are moving toward state-controlled media. Trump has bought them by suing for defamation, fraud and other claims. This has resulted in settlements inContinue reading “Does the US Now Have State-controlled Media?”

Second marriages for both of us, we have forged a bond of love and authenticity that comes only through experiencing- and recovering from- life’sContinue reading “A Moment to Love”
Who will lead us out of darkness?
A Surviving Facts blog Each day brings new devastations. Our country deports American nationals without due process. Our country abducts American citizens off the streets threatening deportation simply for their using their right to freedom of speech. The Supreme Court permits such actions. RFK, Jr. and his incompetent appointees make every effort to ignore provenContinue reading “Who will lead us out of darkness?”
We need neurodivergence
A Raising Autism blog Whenever I hear RFK Jr. speak about autism, fear builds inside me. He talks about ridding the world of children with ASD. He speaks about them as unproductive members of society, harming the general social good. He continues to blame vaccines when the ASD and vaccine connection has been long debunked-Continue reading “We need neurodivergence”
Oops! I did it again.
A Raising Autism blog I’ve written about girls on the spectrum many times. Both of my girls are ASD, and each have unique challenges. My younger daughter struggles with angry outbursts and self esteem. My older daughter represses emotions until she implodes-or explodes- both words work. Either way, the fallout envelops me like a roilingContinue reading “Oops! I did it again.”
The Groom
A Surviving Facts Blog With all of the Epstein and Trump news lately, SA has been on my mind. As a survivor myself- a story for another blog- this is a topic I sadly know about. What has fascinated me is our society’s and media’s attempts to sublimate it by using words to weaken theContinue reading “The Groom”
