I was just reading an article about making friends IRL as opposed to the carefully crafted discussions that compose a typed conversation in online friendships. In Real Life is a strange name.

What would Ted Lasso do? Doesn’t flow quite as well as WWJD. I have started watching this show. Yes, I am fully aware just how late to the party I am. I knew it was good. I never had Apple TV. I do now so I can see a few shows I want to watch.…

I was blessed today. I learn from my fate and interactions. I received a knock on the door and usually that is Amazon, USPS or a friend that may be in the neighborhood. Today, this knock was the City who came to replace my water gauge. I didn’t know that this was going to happen.…

We are really BIG and we are much bigger than we think we are. We have been conditioned and lied to that we are small and powerless. This lie is pervasive and seen in an adoption of a condescending culture of “humility”. Again, we have this stupid demeaning lie of self which we are inundated…
