Anyone Else Ready For Spring?

Anyone Else Ready For Spring, because I sure am!  As I sit here typing this, my front lawn is slowly being covered in snow...

Don't get me wrong, I love the white stuff - in fact I feel I am blessed to live in a place that has 4 distinct seasons, I consider myself having the best of all worlds :)

But as I get ready for work this morning, I long for the birds chirping, the cool grass in my feet, and the sun gracing us with its presence.

I will do my sun dance on the way to work today...

How's the weather in your world?

If it Looks Like a Moron...

I had a meeting the other day with my new boss. This normally would be a painless experience, except that he has such a very strong resemblance to the Moron.

It was very interesting as I struggled with many things. First, trying to pay attention to what my new boss was saying, rather than trying to concentrate on just how and why he seemed so familiar to me.  This ever happen to you?

Try as I might to concentrate on what he was saying, my mind kept wandering to how I made the connection with him and the Moron.  Was he displaying subtle hints of abuse?  Was my super-strength Moron detector, sniffing out some Moroness??

Trying to wrap my head around what exactly was causing the familiarity to the Moron. Yes, there was a bit of the physical resemblance, tall, skinny, balding (Friar Tuck style), but was that all there was?

I guess time will tell, why exactly my Spidey senses are tingling when my new Boss is around.  For once though, I will trust my instincts and go into full alert mode.  Someone has to earn my trust, now.

So, am I the only one that this has happened to?  Has anyone else had this familiarity to one of their Morons? 

EQUALS?

Domestic violence and equality, think 007 could help us?

Abuse is Abuse - No Matter the Package it Comes In

There are many different types of abuse.  Although they take on different forms, the result is quite often exactly the same. The victims of abuse follow the same paths, and need to heal their wounds.

Often physical abuse is the easiest to spot - as there are visible bruises and scars.  The scars from emotional and psychological abuse, are not visible to the naked eye, and are often hardest to heal.

Here is just a small reminder out there that ALL abuse, is abuse.  Abuse needs to STOP.

Everyone deserves respect and a life free from control and fear - in whatever form that comes in.
