A Good Mother

May 9, 2021 By Susan Nuyt 2 Comments

Some of the things that make a good mother a good mother-- She's unconditionally loving to her kids; she chooses to be even when things aren't going well.She puts aside her pride; she doesn't allow herself to be filled with narcissism, expecting her kids to chase her for communication or active presence in their lives.She never lies to them; rather, she is a truthful person, … [Read more...]

Going Forward

April 29, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

Going forward, "flying high"--blurred vision or not.Everybody gets a grade--"In America, we never, ever, ever stay down". Thank God for ambition and grit.No cookie is the same. What's the real concern, how do we rid this headache?I'm still masking, and will continue throughout the entire year.Blood clotting, and those of us who too easily, naturally blood-clot regardless of … [Read more...]

Petty Truths

April 21, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

A reminder: there'll always be somebody who will despise or literally hate you, no matter what--no matter what good you do/have done, no matter how sincerely kind you've been and are. They're hell-bent on trying to make you the bad--your being fully present with an open heart and upright actions of good intentions. That person is "petty"--by a person's own choice to … [Read more...]

Goodbye to you…

February 23, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

You ostracized me for years (and my children; my family); discrimination of another kind-- goodbye to you... You were oftentimes hateful, striking your words like a match; or just a snooty bitch-- goodbye to you... You played church to 'look good' while you were "a demon" in closed quarters, behind walls and doors; phone lines, text messages, emails; a "little … [Read more...]

Q-Trumplican Debacle

February 9, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

I am so glad, glad, that Trump is gone. Gone! ...but, wait!--He's still lurking, still around poking with his tiny fingers, stirring the shit that he caused himself--not just the aggravated and assaulting damages that he previously ordained and orchestrated onto the United States--onto us, the real American citizens--and those who lost their lives on sacred ground of our … [Read more...]

“Patriots” vs. True Patriots

January 17, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

I don't think there are any shocks or surprises left.  Could there be? What a way to start the new year. But, here we are.  Long ago when it was blindly beginning--maybe nobody or not enough people noticed it. Maybe we lacked bravery to mention it or head it off preventing it from growing into a worse situation, a higher degree of chaos and damage. Division is a disease.  … [Read more...]

Layering Garments

September 1, 2020 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

Everything we do in life takes on so many meanings. It doesn't matter what it is, what category it entails, and just who it involves. We learn and live, hopefully. Hopefully we do. Hopefully we learn. The layering of garments... We're kids. Then teens. Then adults with stars and glitter in our eyes and between our toes. We dream. We make plans. And … [Read more...]

Question/s to Answer

May 15, 2020 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

"What is going on?"Again, loud & "clear"--I want to hear Dr. Fauci speak. I believe THE DOC.Who CARES what country has had the most tests!--We just want THE VACCINE. Children have always been "the spreader of infections"--beginning with the nose picking. Really, 'adults'. Protect our American kids, Trump. Think you can?--there's a story book about a little red engine … [Read more...]
