It's frickin' fundamental. You're given a voice, a say in the matter! USE IT. We completed our ballots. Dropped off the envelopes at the County Registrar's Office this week. Your vote is your voice in a democracy. It's a fundamental tenet of our society. Don't squander it. Your opinion matters. Your voice matters. Let it …

Let The Noise Go
Let the noise go. Life’s too short to let that noise distract you for long. Let it go, fall away, “like water off a duck’s back,” so the saying goes. It takes a certain strength I think, To let acknowledge whatever “it” is, and feel some of what it offers, and then, THEN, let it …
