Why do people always have to be so judgemental people on food stamps get it once a month how many times a month do you get it and no I don't get food stamps and if anyone wonders why I put that in because I bet when I said what I said the first thing you thought was she's on F.S. but I'm not everyone has to be judgemental well why don't you judge yourself one time no one can can show kindness or compassion people have fell on hard times factories and Mills or closing a lot of things happen in life that they are put in that position and one day it could happen to you don't say it won't happen because you never know what can happen and yes I can judge someone who abuses or kill a child or anyone for that matter there's a lot of difference between the two I'm not judging someone about what they have in there grocery cart or how they pay for it dang people have a heart and some compassion 🙏🌸🙏🌸🙏🌸🙏🌸🙏🌸

Navigating Midlife as a Single Adult If you find yourself single at 45, you’re far from alone. In today’s world, nearly one in three men may reach midlife without marrying, and that’s not the anomaly it once was. Society is changing—what used to define adulthood is evolving. Now, independence, career growth, and personal fulfillment shape many people’s lives more than traditional family milestones. By this stage, you’ve likely built a stable career and earned the freedom to make choices that truly fit your lifestyle. That independence is powerful—but it can also come with challenges. As friends and peers focus on families, you may notice your social circle shrinking. Building a sense of community often means being intentional—reaching out, nurturing friendships, or creating your own “found family.”Staying healthy becomes just as important. Without a partner to remind you about checkups or balance your stress, your wellness depends on your own discipline. Scheduling preventive care, managing stress, and maintaining good habits are all investments in your future well-being.At this point, purpose starts to matter more than possessions. Maybe it’s through mentoring, volunteering, or using your creativity to make a difference—this is your time to shape a legacy that reflects who you’ve become.In Summary Being single at forty-five doesn’t mean being alone—it means you have the freedom to define your own path. The key is balance: maintaining health, building meaningful connections, and living with purpose. Independence gives you space to grow; connection gives that growth meaning.

My struggle is ongoing. I struggle with a broken family who I love and wish could be repaired, thing is the system broke us up somewhat. I also played a part in it by being selfish and jealous so long ago. I am not totally to blame although I made many a mistakes by being a teenage parent, making bad relationship choices and although I tried to be a good parent (no drinking or drugs) I guess I fell short because some of my children dont even speak to me. How honest is that? It's a struggle to be at a job where I will never advance due to friends promoting friends but here I must stay because I am not college educated (on paper) and its the best place for me because I am 1/2 of a team who is raising a toddler because his mother is incapable due to illness as she is a family member who I love so there is no option. I am in my late 50's and after taking a class and becoming a counselor some opportunities started to open up for me professionally to better myself financially and professionally but its off the table because I'm the part of the team who is expendable due to someone having to sacrifice. Since I am the poorer of the 2 its me. However, the good people in my life say I saved a life, I say this child saved mine. I found out that I have the true capacity to love and change. Although I have on-going battles to try and keep this child in our lives as it is best for him I realize that I have the strength to tolerate abuse from co-workers, court systems, family members and anything or anyone else if it allows him to remain in our little circle where he is safe, well cared for and loved. Most times I feel beat down, sad, ashamed and like I am nothing but I am lucky to have a few good people in my life who believe in me and lift me up and make me realize that I am a helper, I do good works for my community, I try and be honest as you can see by this post and that I want better for myself and others. #TheStruggleIsRea

WOW, I seem to have pissed off alot of people with some comments I made concerning Erika Kirk. Let me start by saying, Yes, we all handle/process grief differently, each of us. Now, how many of you have been thru what she is going thru, by that I mean how many of you are widows/widowers? I am a widow!!! How many of you have lost a loved one to gun violence, specifically? Again, I have. Since not one of you thought to look me up in Newsbreak, I'll clue y'all, I'm the author of Just another child of God and in that post is a testimonial, I'm a victim of senseless gun violence about 40 yrs ago. I my new found friends am now going to get real, my 1st husband was gunned down in his truck back in the 80's so yeah, I know EXACTLY HOW SHE SHOULD BE FEELING, RAGE AND ANGER!!! How dare someone take him. My husband's has NEVER BEEN SOLVED!!! SO I ask, who the hell are you to assume I'm being judgemental? No, I'm being real. God only took my rage abt the time I almost had a heart attack. I was 21!!!! I lost our son 3 mos later. Now I don't care how many of you will be shocked. Erika Kirk knows who killed her husband and one thing about widows/widowers, God takes care of us, but did any of you even stop to think before you attacked me? I forgive each one of you, you didn't know I share that with her. You can't possibly know unless you walk in that person's shoes and I have and did and came out a lot stronger than most, but after all, I'm just another child of God. Judgement is for the Father, so why did some of you ask me about being judgemental when in next breath you judged me? Very Christian of you all. I'm not being judgemental if her, I'm being real and I'm not the only one. Some of you may want to apologize for this, that's fine, I'll tell ya now, again I forgive each of you. It takes a better person to admit forgiveness, which she did on national television. I'm sorry for pissing you off, but not what I said. Happy Holidays to each of you.
