Happy Valentines Day!

Its Valentines Day and I am happy. Giddy even. I have a new Valentine and I adore him. He makes my day brighter. His smile is the best medicine. I got a package in the mail yesterday from Sean. It was the most well thought out, personal, meaningful collection of things I have ever been given by a man. I will try to explain each item but because they are so personal you may not understand....

In the box there was a portable speaker to listen to all our songs, we have quite a few. We tend to hear a song and text the title daily "this is so us!"

There were two different types of my favorite candy. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  He could have stopped there and I would have been so happy. But...

The card he picked had a claw machine on the front. I'm obsessed with claw machines. When I see one I have to play it. He picked that card knowing my addiction. Just for me.

There were several furniture/home good ads for me to start thinking about what we will need in our home.

The last time I was there I hid notes around for him. He found them, wrote on the back and put in the box too.

He put so much thought into each item. He could have bought me a card and chocolates like every else but he knows me. He knows how I think. I love him. There is no denying this. He is such a gift. 

I picked up a beach rock last month when we were walking on Delmar. I wrote our name and the date on one side and  "keep it simple" on the other. He carries that rock in his pocket every day. It was not just a rock to him. He understood. I didn't have to explain anything. 

I have not been so happy in years. I forgot what it was like to be in love and so hopeful. We take care of eachother. We try hard everyday in a million little ways to show our affection even from 2000 miles away. 

For Valentines Day, I sent him 4 gallons of jalapeño peppers. He eats them on everything. I sent them for two reasons: I know he loves them and he's got me hotter than four gallons of jalapeños! Lol

We work well together. I have a great feeling about this. It's not superficial. It's not a rebound. (Already had a few of those. Oy!) our connection is deep. I really look forward to what happens next.

False Domestic Violence Allegations and Personality Disorders

Domestic violence is a major issue in our society today, laws have been made to protect those suffering from abuse in the home. It took many years for such laws to be enacted. At one time it was perfectly acceptable for a man to hit, berate and sexually assault his wife. It was considered a valid exercise of authority from husband to wife. We have come a long way. The authorities now recognize this as what it is, abuse.  Because new laws exist women can live freely without fear of violence. Many women are alive today because the court's protection. With that being said, it is also now being used as a tool by women to exercise power over men in their lives. It's a sad and disgusting result of the very laws to protect us. False allegations of domestic violence are at the very least an insult to women who are abused. It makes efforts to secure protection even harder for women who actually need it.  If you are going through a divorce or custody issue and file false charges to gain

Service Member Suicide

It was recently announced that we have lost more service members this year to suicide than in combat. The statement is shocking, considering we are occupying Afghanistan and other war torn areas of the world and everyday another name is added to the list. People don't want to talk about the suicides. Its as if its a shameful secret swept under the rug. According to the Army soldier suicide is up 80%. EIGHTY PERCENT. We are doing something wrong. It seems that those who truly need help are afraid to talk and those who don't want to quickly blame PTSD for any shortcoming they have in life after war. On the news, if someone robs a bank the first thing they report is he was a combat veteran in one of the branches of the US Military. They skirt around PTSD as a motive. PTSD is real and its not an excuse to toss around lightly. I know why our service members don't reach out. I have been personally effected by it and now since my husband is weeks from retirement and 20 years of

The Gentle Giant

There are three men in my life that since childhood I have trusted explicitly. Jaime Valenzuela, Sean McGee, and Kenny Loveless. They have loved and protected me for 25 years and have always been there for me in thick and thin. The relationship was special with those three and even to this day I know for a fact that if I called them and told them I needed help their first reply would be "who's ass needs kicking?" It would NOT matter who, or if I were right or wrong they had my back. Today we lost one of those guys and in a way the world feels a bit less safe. We learned that Kenny passed away. He will be sorely missed by so many. We grew up together in a small farming community in Missouri, in the same neighborhood just one street away. There was a group of neighborhood kids who were together daily usually mobbed up in one or the other's front yard. We were as thick as thieves. For the most part even though half of us moved far away and we all grew up to have lives
