Are You All In? ...Or On the Sidelines?

Posted by E. Joyce on Wednesday, September 28, 2011, In : News and Politics 
This will be an interestin­g election period. Most of us still can't discern one group from another, given that we suddenly have so many to choose from. So a moment of enlightenm­ent to define who some of the players are. Do you know what and who the "Professio­nal Left" is? The term “professio­nal left” denotes a growing industry that specialize­s in converting other people’s money into an ideologica­l product, while making a good living out of it in the process. They are ...

'SHIPS: Final Thoughts

Posted by E. Joyce on Sunday, April 24, 2011, In : News and Politics 


The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.  -- Albert Einstein

I should have this book in my publisher’s hands by now, but there is something that keeps gnawing at me.  The odd thing is I can’t define it. Yet.  But it’s important enough -- at least to me -- to put it on paper, hoping that I will be led to the answer.

There is something dangerously afoot among us.  It’s tasteless, odorless, you can’t really see it.  But i...

We can believe in change if we are a part of it...

Posted by E. Joyce on Wednesday, September 8, 2010,
Got into and out of a fairly useless conversation, where folks were criticizing the President from the sidelines.
People can sit and armchair quarterback President Obama forever, yet never have a clue to the complexity and difficulty of the job, further exacerbated by the color of his skin.  Where were all you folks and your opinions eight years prior? Because I don't recall seeing any of you expressing them.  This President has been in office under two years trying to redirect the nation to s...

For All Fathers of Daughters

Posted by E. Joyce on Sunday, June 20, 2010,
LEGACY

If there were time
To gather all fathers
To sing to their daughters
To sing to their daughters
If there was time.
Not of cats in the cradle
Or
Silver spoons.
But instead how they love them
And would
give them the moon
If they could.
If there were time.
They’d show them a real man
Who knows what love is
From a man to his woman
From a child to his father
And
A father to his daughter…
If there was time.
She’d learn how to teach
A man how to treat her.
She’d know by example
Wha...

REFLECTIONS OF A LOVE AFFAIR

Posted by E. Joyce on Sunday, June 20, 2010,
The reflection is a truth
undeniably clear
His eyes light up
when you walk into the room.
There is a sleepy smile for you
when she wakes to another day.
She can't wait to tell you what her opinions are
He looks forward to telling you what his day turned out to be.
Snuggling with you on the couch is an option oft used.
And she feels safe telling you everything
trusting that you have her heart/even when you don't agree.
He knows that he can risk failure while trying new things
because you hav...

Sarah Palin, You're Fired! Uh wait...she quit.

Posted by E. Joyce on Monday, March 29, 2010, In : News and Politics 
I said it before when Palin was put on the national stage, this is a woman who was enabled in her delusions. She pieced together an undergrad degree, was second in a beauty pageant and she, like several Palin-esque women I worked with in corporate, moved into positions she wasn't qualified to be in, yet always managed to make excuses for the lack of experience or knowledge,  with a toss of the hair, engaging smile and a persona that attracts both men and women. Listened to a radio...
