Mom and Chicken Feed:
I thought about my mother again today. I think about her a lot in May because we celebrated our birthdays and Memorial Day together in the same week every year.
The sign outside the pet store stopped me in my tracks. I laughed out loud and then took out my camera. The paper said,"chicken feed." My mother used these words in her every day language and we didn't live on a farm. She'd ask me if I had any chicken feed? I'd reach into my pocket and show her my chicken feed... a quarter and a nickel and 2 dimes!

Sunday the 20th:
For two days I thought it was the 19th. Therefore these seem out of sequence but they are not! SORRY.
I have also been distracted in memory remembering a very dear person, Janice Hartman. We were both born at the same hospital and in the same town, only 5 days apart and met on the first day of college. We came from two different states. May she Rest In Peace. Not a year goes by since 1965 that I haven't thought of her on her birthday. God bless her family.

Make a Spectacle of Yourself:
| *** "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." -Wayne Dyer |
What do you need to see differently?
Does personal experience make a difference?
Are you okay changing your mind?
What about adult peer pressure...do you believe in it?
A woman asked me today when she reads my book:
"Under My Roof~ a Mother's Story of the Heinous Crime of Incest,"
Will she want to walk on the other side of the street and pretend she doesn't know me?
I certainly hope not...but whatever she feels is quite okay.
After you read the book, you just might see some things differently.
And I hope it becomes a topic of discussion or a book club pick.

| *** Hollyhocks |
Did you ever make dolls with hollyhocks?
Ever get any honey from the honeysuckle?
Put a dandelion under your chin to see if you liked butter?
Or blew the ghostly dandelion seeds spreading them across the yard?
Ever get blood on your clothes because you were pricked by a rose thorn?
Have you seen crowns made out of real flowers?
Did you ever mow the lawn and get rid of some flowers?
I bet you can think up lots of games you played as a child.
Hide and seek?"
Wax Doll?

George Burns:

"I'd rather be a failure in something that I love
than a success in something
that I hate."
George Burns
(1896 - 1996)
ps. Mr. Burns was at Goodwill... just standing there! This is what he had to say for himself.

Stop and Look:
I was sitting out in the warm sun having a frozen yogurt and watching people today.
Of all the cars that stopped at the sign...No one looked both ways. Stop...Count like you were taught, one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three while you are looking to the left and to the right and then ahead. Stop. Just Stop it. This is about protecting each other!
As you can see another way is to keep our sea air fresh. This is at Capitola Beach. All of the tiles are beautiful. It's also nice when people are not smoking at the beach. This again protects our kids.
And last but certainly not least, is stop being so quiet. Stop the Silence. Speak up and out and tell if you suspect child sexual abuse, domestic violence of a friend, relative or neighbor. I hope we all wake up a little more this year and reach out to protect our future of our children and grandchildren. Stop the cycle.
Thank you from every child. I heard a woman say that when she was a child, she sat on her front step waiting for Child Protective Services to come and save her...but no one reported it ...and no one came.
We cried for her.
