Resolutions

Standard

Find your purpose in life

You don’t need any resolutions

Believe me if it coincides with your goals or 5 or 10 year plan

It will be a habit

Because you already have the internal motivation

That my two cents this week anyway

Did you ask for it no

But did I write it anyway

Yes

Because I like writing

-Jennie Nawrocki

Who Is To Blame?

Standard
My tarot reading placed counterclockwise

Is it fate or coincidence?

Someone once told me the world is determined you get what you got coming.

Anything you receive you deserve

My question is when is it the other persons responsibility?

You are rude someone is rude to you

But what about

Starvation do we blame Mao or those that starved because they deserved it

Babies dying because no medical attention

A boat that rams into a bridge do the cars with humans blame themselves for driving over that bridge that day

A crack in the sidewalk the city or you for not watching where you are walking

An epidemic you not wearing a mask or patient zero

The person who received a finger or hair in their coffee bag

An genocide or slavery you for having a certain DNA, religion or preference

Domestic violence all because you said or did the wrong thing

A road disappeared due to storms

Why have lawyers, courts and HR if everything that happens to you is what GOD has planned for you

Everything bad or good that happens in your life is your fault because you deserved it

Don’t ever blame someone else you caused it all to happen to you.

But then I heard the term collateral damage

Like a pawn in a chess game in order to win you have to sacrifice

Are you to blame because you were the one sacrificed?

Isn’t human or animal sacrifice was illegal.

Seriously is this our fate and we can’t do anything or are we just collateral damage.

Nothing to Start

Standard

They used to say start over and now they say there is nothing to start.

I always knew I wasn’t wanted.

Now that there are no expectations of me achieving anything.

I am able to just be myself the person I always wanted.

Then ladies and gentlemen

What am I going to do this Christmas

Simple: cook, eat, talk with whoever is willing to talk with me, and sleep.

Yeah, if there is nothing to start, I guess I will just go about my day.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Judeo-Christian

Standard
Hanukkah 🕎 in a Judeo-Christian household.

Moses who led his people to freedom and was given the Ten Commandments are in both The Torah and The Bible.

This may be a time for trees and Santa but we honor this time as a holy time.

Miracles do happen and occur.

Religions live peacefully together.

Believe.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Reality

Standard

You want this

I want something else

You want this

I want something else

You want this

I want something else

You must have this

I must have something else

You will have this

I will have something else

You may write or say a narrative of what you want me to be

Regardless of all the AI imagery put forth

In my heart, in my head I will always be something else,

Left leaning blue artistic traveling democrat, who loves her husband named Phineas.

Rage bait

Standard

In order to rage bait

You have to know someone’s triggers

You have to know what they like and dislike

You have to li, scam and deceive

You have to make people suffer

Huh so humans who obtained promotions based on how much they rage baited someone would be called this

Rage bait equals hostile environment

-Jennie Nawrocki

Fur

Standard

This time of year

You see lots of it

Faux fur coats and linings

Fur rugs

Fur blankets

Even furry hats

Faux fur is manufactured

Soft just like an animal

Who used it for the same reason you are using it

Warmth

Granted fur these days is manufactured

For some reason we can’t get enough

Even my cat likes the faux fur Christmas tree skirt

So bundle up

That faux fur is just joy.

Oh wait

Have you ever tried to clean it?

Then we all say just don’t get my faux fur dirty.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Your Land Is Their Land

Standard
Your Land Is Their Land

We all gather to say thank you and celebrate an event that showed generosity from Indigenous peoples.

To this day the descendants of those people live among us or on reservations that we made for them.

When the Vikings invaded England they plundered and ruled over the Anglo Saxons.

Why is it some cultures invade and intermingle but others push them out?

Seriously this is a very concerning holiday to me, it is a day we should have First Nations prominently celebrated but instead we just eat with our families.

Heck on Cinco de Mayo we put up South of the Border decorations and every Mexican restaurant is filled with people

But

Where are the Native American restaurants? Where are those shops that you can buy their cultural items of prominence?

Lunar New Year we give out red envelopes 🧧 and see dragons dance in streets.

Why not Indigenous peoples ways more known or celebrated?

Is there a way to celebrate their culture?

Yes you should gather with friends and family but don’t forget those who cultivated maize, beans and squash. Some tribes even call them the ‘three sisters’.

Please think of them as you eat popcorn 🍿 at a movie, or chips at the Super Bowl, your famous chili and cornbread, or simply pumpkin pie.

Your land is was and should be honored as their land also.

Family and Friends

Standard

The rain maybe prevalent

The wind may howl

The cold steadily intensified

Trees mostly bare

Most days you ask where is the sun?

But inside

Is the warmth

Tea, cocoa, cider and coffee all at ready

Soups and stews sidelined with crackers and bread

Hearty meat is roasted rather than grilled and served to perfection

Beds piled with coats

And people relating scores of their teams

But one thing doesn’t change

Whether inside or outside

You have your family and friends

To explain what just happened

-Jennie Nawrocki

Speak

Standard

Whatever you are trying to make me do

Said no a million times already

Why are we always here

You say you never get your way

But you also say you are always winning

You say I talk to much

But yet your voice is always heard

You say I monopolize the conversation

But yet I seem to be the voice that doesn’t make sense among many

I will speak my voice.
