30 Days of Discrimination Towards WOMEN. Womens History Month
UPDATE April 15th is Income Tax Day. Is it OK to "attack Women on income Tax day" particularly when the FACT is that the Legislators who wrote this Tax Code were likely MEN? When we study the past, it is to improve our present & future. It is not enough to celebrate history for history's sake, then rest on our laurels & marvel at our accomplishments with a congratulatory pat on the back. This is WHY we study history: to take those lessons from the past to make life better fo

Got Gadgets? Get Yes, I'd Like to Thank the Academy
Tech tools are designed to make our lives better. Put them to good use with better communication. Learn to treat people as INDIVIDUALS. Learn to speak with Emotional Intelligence. Itching. Scratching. Sniffling. Coughing. All are forms of Non-Verbal Communication. How are WOMEN Responsible for this??? We're not. It's Misogyny. Bullying has become a Global EPIDEMIC. This has got to stop Learn to Recognize PEOPLE as INDIVIDUALS. Get yourself, "Yes, I'd Like to Thank the Acade

Numbers Matter. How Long Has This Been Going On? Womens History Month
UPDATE: Numbers-based MISOGYNY cost Hillary Clinton the Election. How are WOMEN to blame for the Calendar? We're not. Below is a link to my personal Facebook page with my thoughts on the Judaeo-Christian Bible. The Word of God wasn't written by one person. The Christian Bible is an Anthology of Essays written by several people. In my opinion, MISOGYNY can be traced back to the beginning of Time when Eve was blamed for Original Sin - eating the Apple.

1984. Backwards From the Beginning. Womens History Month
UPDATE: Written in 1948 under the name George Orwell, Eric Arthur Blair 's dystopian nightmare reality is one of the root causes of 20th Century Misogyny. Locally, here in Houston, one of our primary major thoroughfares is the Gulf Freeway, I-45. During the Mid-Term Elections the name of our Freeway became WEAPONIZED AGAINST WOMEN, in a Sexist, Misogynistic way. It was hurtful. It was hateful & quite frankly is the Definition of Hate Speech against WOMEN. BECAUSE this Presid

Speaking in Tongues. Medicare Statement of Understanding
Being able to UNDERSTAND each other when we speak is CRUCIAL to Communication. Now that Russian collusion in the 2016 Election may or may not be off the table, could there have been any other contributing factors that kept voters home on Election Day? It's an uncomfortable but necessary conversation to have - FOR THE RIGHT REASONS: Seeking UNDERSTANDING of WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED & how to make sure it doesn't happen again. Houston is the most wonderfully diverse city in the c

Healthcare. It's My Livelihood.
UPDATE. In the middle of everything currently going on, overnight there were reports that the GOP is set to take another swing at ObamaCARE. Understanding Health Insurance Toolkit Volunteering in the last Political cycle was so exhausting, I haven't yet decided if I'm gonna jump into the fray again this time. Certainly not during the Primary cycle. Let's see who makes it onto the Ballot & then I will decide at that time what level of involvement (if any) I'm willing to eng

Women's History Month
UPDATE. The 19th Amendment was only the beginning. We still have work to do. The Equal Rights Amendment still needs one more state to be ratified into the US Constitution, completing the work of these brave Pioneer Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul & Lucy Stone. National Women's History Month The Women's Rights Movement actually had a difference of opinion with respect of how best to do this. With the centuries-old rise of misogynistic attitu

Can Public Officials Be SLANDERED? Yes They Can. Women's History Month
The benchmark for Slander for anyone in the Public Eye is extremely high, particularly for Public Officials. Public Officials are Elected to conduct business on the Public's behalf. As such the performance of their duties does require a higher level of transparency than a Public Figure, like a musician or actor or anyone else who has voluntarily put themselves in the Public Eye. Even Public Officials & Public Figures do have some expectation of Privacy in their Private live

HealthCARE, DACA, Global Warming. Women's History Month
So the Mueller Report has come out & the American Public is waiting to see what's in it. We do know what's not in it: no new indictments - as if there haven't been enough already. CNN's Chris Cuomo regularly points out that criminality of the #ApprenticePresident should not be the benchmark. Which is also my main point with respect to ETHICS. Insurance Agents like myself are REQUIRED to Re-Certify once every two years, including MANDATORY ETHICS TRAINING. The American People

She Persisted Around the World. 13 Women Who Changed History
UPDATE. When the Naysayers say "No you can't," we say "Yes we can." One year ago today, former 1st Daughter Chelsea Clinton held a Book Signing for her Children's Book here in Houston. Highlighting 13 female historical figures with a short one-page biography, Clinton shines the spotlight on women who overcame adversity against all odds to claim their rightful place in History. Being born on Friday the 13th, I naturally take notice of 13 anything. This fact is a tremendous p
