Personal Messages from Me to You…
Personal reflections, thoughts, views, and opinions worth sharing.
Many of these articles began as simple notes, observations, or messages written from personal experience. Some reflect lessons learned over a lifetime, while others explore challenges, decisions, and current events that shape my thinking. They are not presented as expert advice, but as thoughts and experiences shared in the hope that they may encourage, inform, or simply give you something worthwhile to consider.
Sometimes there is something I simply want to share or for you to know about. These personal messages come from life, experience, faith, family, and my journey along the way.

President Trump’s speech may or may not prove significant. Our reaction to it certainly is. Before rushing to conclusions, let’s talk about evidence, principles, and why remaining objective and grounded in reality matters more than…
Remember who or Founding Fathers were, what they fought for…that struggle continues. They believed in, sacrificed for, and beat tyranny to win rights, liberty, and freedom. Be not less.
Emergency Preparedness (preppers) in Transition I began my preparedness journey about 1978 (+/-) starting with food storage. I backed off about the mid-1990’s. Then started it back up in earnest just after 9/11. Post-9/11, and…
My Transition as a Prepper & the Website Transition Let me recap…I’ve been in a transition for about a year now. I already spoke to the “national transition”, I also already laid out the case…
The Nation in Transition I’ve been in a transition for about a year now. No, get your mind out of the gutter…it is a philosophical transition with me. You might call it a process that…
Well, there are some of you that are fine with me being “quiet” as of late. But there is a very valid reason for it. And nope, I ain’t gonna share that with you yet.…
Today begins a somewhat different style in the website. Stand-by…more change transition to come. We want our lives to be without risk, without emergencies, without any disasters. But that is unrealistic. With each passing day we…
I am sick and tired of it!!!! So Trumpster posts: “With a great Jobs Report, like just announced, stocks should go up, not down. That’s the way it was for 200 years. Growth does not…
