Day 29..Truth be told 30 days

Someone you didn't want to let go, but just drifted

I am terrible at keeping in touch with people
really I suck at it and it is something
that I am working on constantly.
So those who read this and I haven't
seen or talked to you in forever I am sorry
and know that I do think about you.

Day 1: a new challenge for 30 days

I know I know I was doing a different 30 day challenge but I lost the list and can't finish...so I found a new one. Here goes

My middle name and how do I feel about it...

Well it is Marie. Yep that's it I know boring, right? I really have no feelings about it because it goes with my entire name and there is no special reason behind it.
It is blah and I wished growing up that I had a different first name along with middle but that didn't work out. Needless to say I don't dislike my middle name but I don't love it either.

For that reason I have really great children names. The ones I wanted growing up are ridiculous and not going to work....Stay tuned for those awesometastic name selection reveal...

Day 19....

Truth be told for 30 days

What do you think of religion? or what do you think of politics?

Touchy subject and I like it!!


What I think about religion?

Well I don't believe in the traditional church,
give me your money, and I will preach my
interpretation of the bible type of religion.
Basically, organized religion I have issues with.

I do however have a relationship with god,
I do believe in certain things which I will
keep to myself and I believe you have the right
to believe in whomever you choose as long as it
does not hurt anyone or thing.

I have never been to a church that made me
feel welcome, that all they wanted was my money,
and had no real understanding of the bible.
I don't like how women are portrayed and how
in this day and age it is still taught. How they do
not believe in teaching birth control and absence.
How they blame everything else on the "women"
of the family and not once looking towards others or fix
the situation.
I could go on.
Just know that I have a spiritual connection and that
I believe in some things.

What are my views on politics?

Well religion doesn't belong in it. That
all politicians will tell you what you want to hear
instead of the truth. I would give all
my support for a politician
who said "this is what I am going to do, many
will not like it or be behind it. I am being realistic
and will do my best. I do not like this, this and this.
I back this and this. And because
I am in the public eye hear are my skeletons."

I have a hard time with trust
and during this time of year my radar is in full
swing.
Politicians =liars

Not a fan of politics
its not something I talk about
or tend to start a conversation by.
In fact I stay clear of it.

Day 18

Truth be told for 30 days

My view on Gay Marriage

First, let me start this by saying
I want equality for everyone!!
No discrimination for religion, gender, sexual
orientation, size, race, etc.
I do not discriminate yet I know
what it is like to be
discriminated against. IT SUCKS!
Therefore, if you do not want to read further
please move on to next post.

Second, here is my take on the issue.
I think everyone has the right to be with
whom they choose. Regardless!!!
I don't' think religion should be a factor
because religion does not belong in politics
and this has been made into a politics issue.
When it is not. This has to do with equal rights
EQUAL rights for everyone.

Third, does this involve me? NO!
Do I think people who it doesn't affect have
the right to protest or say
their opinion? NO!
I know I know free speech, etc. But
those individuals take it TOO far. They bring in
religion and rights. What about the
rights of those choosing to marry
someone who is the same gender. WHO CARES!!
That is just that THEIR CHOICE!
They should have every right everyone else does.

Lastly, it infuriates me when people say they are
going to hell for committing a sin. Um have you
realized your committing a sin by JUDGING THEM.
Doing horrible things unto your NEIGHBOR.
KILLING their spirit and denying them equal
rights which our four fathers fought for??
What skeletons do you have in your closet that
your afraid of? What if someone told you that
you could no longer be who you are?

America is home of the free not
home of the some free and others you hide.

Day 17

A book that I read that changed my views on something...

Day 16 truth be told

I read a lot..well I try to read
as much as possible.

I can remember reading Herland in High School
and what it entails, how strong it made me feel,
and just how the authors mind set
had to be to write such forward thinking
and provactive material.

I have been looking for that book
for sometime. The book stores are either
not carrying it any longer, its out of print,
or they don't have a copy. UGH

So I keep searching and wait
patiently..........

Still waiting........

then there's the book that
I believe every young adult should
read and NO its not TWILIGHT....
LOL

Lord of the Flies....
Then of course see the movie.

That book made me think about how
society is today and how correct that
book was to date.

As you can tell I don't enjoy romance
books...well not full on romance.
I like mystery (thinking books), science fiction,
chick lit, and young adult books.
Take a look at what I read this year and what
I recommend reading..
Also if you have any authors you like
let me know and I will check them out.
My authors have no new books out so
I am always on the lookout for new
authors to follow.

Day 16

Someone or something you definitely
could live without!!



i am going to take the high road on this one
and refer to something instead of the someone!!
the someone is not worth mentioning...to much power
given when spoken about.
So on to the something!!
Let's just lay it out there...i could do without
the extra weight...not talking about little
I mean all of the extra weight.
i have never been "thin" except when i was
a child. which really does that count?

i know where my food issue steams from
and until i get out of the situation it will never get better.
so until then i try each day to make the choices
i should be making and try changing my stars.

So cheers to changing my stars.!
