BOXING DAY
K IS FOR 'KOOL'
OK I'll admit it. I want to be Kloe Kardashian. Set aside for a moment that she is wealthy and famous and has what appears to be a wonderful connection with a wonderful, loving family - wait, don't. That is part of the reason I want to be her. I don't care much about the fame but it would be nice to…
BULLIED!!
I am still reeling a little bit from my latest unexpected bullying smack down. Now don't get me wrong I am someone who speaks my mind on a regular basis, but I am NOT one of those idiots who uses 'being honest' as an excuse to be rude or hurtful. When I express an opinion I try to be as positive as …
BE POSITIVE . . . DAMMIT!
Maybe it's society, maybe it's Facebook, or maybe it is just me but it seems that the latest "non-judgemental" attitude is all about being "positive". Was is interesting is the definition of positive that these purveyors of positive are peddling.
Being the word lover I am, I, of course, did a l…
NEW LEADERSHIP TRENDS?
I can remember when the trend was for a leader to "be tough" and their motto usually was some version of "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to get a job done."
Thankfully we, as a society, are learning that each individual and their contributions matter and to treat anyone poorly is to get…
YEAH, IAM STRONG . . . SO WHAT NOW?
Has anyone else noticed an increase in the use of the phrase “you are a strong woman?” (Or its equivalent) I have, and I have to say that I do not think it is a good thing; and not just because it is axiomatically redundant, but because of the way it is being used.
What the heck does that e…
I AM SOOOO DEEP!
You know what I am talking about. Those awesome sounding profound statements written with cool typeface on an emotionally stirring background. Or words themselves turned into art (like my illustration here). Or even just a stark quote without explanation. Just because someone 'liked' and/or 'shared'…
AND SO IT BEGINS
Where to begin? I guess at the beginning would be a good place. I will try and just give you an outline of the facts and together we can explore the details as time goes on.
I was born on the Souix Indian reservation in Nebraska, the illegitimate daughter of a young native woman and a married I…
DID I WIN?
I don’t want to jinx anything, and I may just be going on a hunch, but I think I am a real contender in the “Worst Mother of the Year – Lifetime Achievement” awards!! Now I don’t want to brag or toot my own horn or anything, but if what I have found out in the last couple of days is true, I figure I…
Welcome
Hello. I am Aradia Zenobia. Yes, THAT Aradia (there aren't any more people with that name anywhere - believe me I have tried to find at least one!) You may or may not know me. You may or may not have heard of me. I have been told that I inspire people - either for the good or the bad. I know that th…
Zensanity!
Welcome to my life - I strive to
be a good example but even if I
end up a dire warning . . . at
least I got up and did
SOMETHING!
