When People Come Together...

Good Afternoon Lovies, a Happy Freyja Day to you all... may your day be blessed and your weekend awesome!!!

I know I have been writing a lot about the building I live in, and how bad the slumlords are here... alas, help has been showing up... in the form of tenants, themselves.

I am sure some people thought I was exaggerating at how BAD the conditions were in these buildings; but now that others have come forward, I have renewed hope. 

I am not going to get into the nitty gritty, I just want to say, I am SUPER proud of those who were fearful of using their voice but are now speaking out. I am excited and rooting for those who worried about retaliation, but now see they are not alone... and our voices WILL be heard!!! 

I am not saying this won't be a challenge, and that some people might "flake", what I am saying is this... seeing and reading how many people have come forward has only given me a renewed sense of seeking justice... a sense that this can NOT be brushed under the rug... we can NOT be ignored and we most definitely are NOT going away.

Yes, we are fighting a big corporation; I hope for me and my neighbours we will finally have a home that is safe, clean and a place we can be proud to live in... but I also hope that others in similar situations will be inspired and take up their own fight... we ALL deserve to have a roof over our heads, a home that is safe, clean and nothing infringing on our right to peace and comfort. It's not much to ask if you think about it... It's a basic human right!!!

Anyways, that's it for this one. I again, want to say how proud I am of people for taking that stand and using their voice. Thank you. UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL.

Stay safe. Stay warm/cool. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all, Be LOVED.

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
