Lady Justice

The Scales of Justice have long represented the symbolism of justice.  They represent the balancing of truth and fairness in each legal case.  They also represent all evidence being weighed fairly, and typically the side with the most evidence wins the case. Lady Justice originates from Ancient Greece and Rome.  The Greek Goddess of Justice, […]

Toot Your Own Horn

Today we laid to rest my grandfather who preferred to be addressed as Gramps.  Gramps had a bit of a rough start to life, and his parents weren’t confident he would survive very long after birth.  His resilience was palpable and what unfolded was an incredibly full life of 96 years and 47 days between […]

We’ll Do What They Can’t

There have been a couple more releases from the “Twitter Files”.  If I were to sum it up into one sentence, I would say my main take away from these two releases were that government funded organizations and agencies were helping to monitor and censor speech where the government knew it could not legally take […]

Uncovering Truth or Sparring?

On January 10, 2023, the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government was created with Jim Jordan appointed as the chair.  After reading the letter released in mainstream media on November 3, 2023, I was hopeful this committee would uncover truth for the people.  Especially since much of what had been contained within […]

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Those who have been following my journey have read of my spiritual connection and the guidance I receive in my morning devotional time.  This guidance doesn’t always come just in the mornings, and I don’t always want to follow its promptings.  I’ve become disciplined in following where I’m led (except for the night when I […]

General Flynn: Hero or Traitor?

Before we get into the goods, I wanted to thank each of you who have subscribed to the blog, diligently followed each post, or passively kept up with the story.  It means the world to me that you take heart in our life and relationship!  It’s hard to believe I have been writing and posting […]

A Day in the Life

A day in the life of an inmate isn’t too sensational.  Many people are curious about what it’s like so let’s dive into some of the day to day basics. Travis originally started out assigned to a bunk in an open dorm-style housing area which housed 60 people.  During his time in this space it […]

The First Letter

During the first few weeks of Travis’s sentence, we were spoiled with regular phone calls.  Some weekends he would even call for 45 minutes (3 separate 15 minute calls).  It was such a blessing as we transitioned to this new and temporary normal for his time away.  (I constantly tell myself this is all temporary […]

You Deleted Your Account

On another un-noteworthy Thursday night, I drifted off to sleep.  It was just a week or so earlier that I had reclaimed my ability to sleep peacefully throughout the night without waking repeatedly or being up for hours at a night.  Many things in life have no price tag, and sleep is one of them.  […]

Shook Beyond Recognition

It was an un-noteworthy Thursday, with the exception of having several internal promptings to not stay at my house that evening.  Normally I follow my intuition without much question because it’s always guiding me to good things, but for some reason on this day I let my ego get in the way.  I reached out […]
