I recently sat down and asked two college graduates this question:
What do you wish your parents would have taught you but didn’t? Why did I ask them that question? Well, I had this brilliant idea of making a blog post, “What you wish your parents would have taught you before you graduated from high school.”

Author's Note: When this post was originally written, I believed the the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement was composed of good people with good intentions. I am about that. However, I have since learned that a group of Marxists more or less hijacked BLM for their own devious purposes. I am not about that life and I do not support The Black Lives organization.
I decided to leave this post up, simply because it showcases just how naive I was. Read. Learn. Grow. ********************************************************** Last week I wrote a post about George Floyd and how his needless death had greatly impacted my own life. I dug a little deeper into the background of racism in America and frankly, I was appalled and grieved by what I discovered. Read that post now: We are at a Defining Moment. As a white woman living snugly and safely in the heartland of America, I just didn’t know what I didn’t know. I walked into my husband’s home office this week and I plopped on a chair.
“What’s wrong, honey?” I was quiet for a moment, assessing how I was actually feeling. Then I just stated the truth, “I’ve been thinking about George Floyd’s death.” My husband stopped what he was doing, turned his chair and said, “Yeah, me too.” “I’m just so angry. And so sad. My heart hurts.” |
