Memorial Day was originally referred to as "Decoration Day" which began shortly after the Civil War. According to reports, springtime gave birth to tributes to honor those who perished in the Civil War. This day was marked by prayers and the decoration of graves. People gathered to honor the fallen, then the federal government unified on one national observance day.
In our modern times, we still continue with this idea to get together with friends and family. Yes there are some who do not have a connection to the fallen and who may not truly grasp the significance, but the idea is still the same. Those who may not have a direct connection to the fallen are in a way paying a small tribute to those who lost their lives by holding these gatherings. Indirectly, they are demonstrating the freedoms that those who died for America.
We owe these souls a great deal. We can sleep at night knowing there are those awake monitoring our safety from dangers near and far. We can relax with our coffee and ease into the day because someone drew their last breath on the battlefield. We can watch parades and eat watermelon because someone chose to become a solider.
There are some will never know the brutal reality that many face. Some will never have that connection to the wife or husband who places flowers at the grave of their spouse. Some will probably never meet a child who grew up placing flags at their parent's grave. Some will not witness the ceremony on Memorial Day at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Yet one thing remains a constant; we are all Americans.
Whether you agree with the politics in the wars or not. Whether you are directly affected by those we have lost or not. Whether you show patriotism or not, we are all American.
Today is one of the few days where it doesn't matter what level of education you have. It doesn't matter what your gender, age, sexual preference, religion, political affiliation, or skin color is. Today we honor those who lost a loved one. We honor those who lost a mom or dad, brother or sister, uncle or aunt, daughter or son. Today we stand together, even for a moment, and pay respect to those who died wearing our country's uniform and to support those missing a loved one.
Today remember them and know that the freedoms we enjoy today and every day are not free.

The Foreign Concept of Terrorism
My heart goes out to all of those affected with the EgyptAir crash. Nothing will ever justify taking innocent people's life. There is no point that can ever rationalize these actions.
It makes me wonder why these things continue to happen... I don't misunderstand, I KNOW the justifications terrorists spew to believe their actions to be logical to continue to try and defeat the "infidels"... but they are not winning. They certainly are not persuading me nor any one I know to join their cause, and yet they continue on with their terror plots.
If we were to really examine this topic, the majority of Americans don't understand what it is that terrorists desire. Most Americans don't even know who the Revolutionary War was fought between, nor do they understand the complexities of D-Day. How can we expect understanding of this vast grouping of people in the world who despise Western ideals when the newest iPhone is expected to make its debut? There is more of an uproar from the masses if their internet connection does not work than about the actions of these terrorists on innocents.
Americans, especially younger generations, have a great deal of free time on their hands. There are priorities that take precedent in today's world and they do not involve studying. "News" is given to us in headlines and most do not take the time to dive further into the story. Let's talk Hitler for a second. Should you not agree with a politician's policy or even a friend they are going to be likened to Hitler, even though Stalin murdered nearly 6 million more people than Hitler. Neither comes close to the slaughter lead by Chinese leader Mao Zedong, but I presume he is off limits because of the love affair with communism. There isn't a desire to dive further into history or to be a free thinking individual because we live in the splendor of America. No matter what anyone tries to tell you, that MEANS something powerful!
Many people in other parts of the world do not have time to be bored or depressed. They have work to do in order to survive from one day to the next. Just being able to have drinking water available is a luxury not understood by many. Americans as a whole are free to invest their time into an activity or thought that truly interests them because we don't have to worry our brains with day to day survival. A vast majority have shelter, food, and water. Should you not have access to those things there are options there to have those needs met.
It's easy to see how terrorism is an unfathomable concept. We are free to be able to live our lives as we see fit and do not see a pressing threat of terrorism because we are not close to that land mass that holds Europe, the Middle East, or Russia.
It didn't help our cause that when the attacks happened in San Bernardino our administration was quick to call it "work place violence," and some people bought that line. When our administration doesn't take terrorism seriously, how can we expect citizens to grasp what truly happened? Add onto that that the current administration is telling the world we are not special and they can blame us for their ailments... yes, terrorism is not something we have to concern ourselves with.
I do believe that an overwhelming group of Americans are waking up to acknowledge what is happening in the world and know we are not the root cause of all evil. I have hope in the future and so should you.

To Feel or Not Feel "The Bern"
As an American, I struggle with trying to identify with some of my peers that are lumped into the millennial category as myself. For the most part, I do not come into contact with a lot of Bernie supporters. I wish I could more often, I feel like meeting them would give me an opportunity to cross them over from the socialist side... even through the brilliant haze of "everything will be FREE!"
In reality, millennials cannot fully be blamed for why they are so drawn to socialism and the likes of Bernie Sanders. They are being taught a romanticized version of socialism and a bastardized version of capitalism. The educators may say this is not the case, but I don't believe them. The federal government has become more and more involved in our public school education system primarily because of funding. Those who have the gold do make the rules after all, and it is evident with public school curriculums.
The millennials coming into full swing support of Bernie do want that golden ring of FREE COLLEGE. Who can blame them? They get accepted into a school and spend four years studying for a degree, with the promise that this is America and there WILL be a sustainable paying job for them upon graduation. Most are now in entry levels jobs at a fast food restaurant still living with mom and dad, just barely paying their monthly student loan payment.
The US is in tremendous debt. We have people leading this nation who have no business running a lemonade stand, let alone a country! Of course millennials want $15 an hour to flip burgers. How else are they going to be able to provide for themselves? Small businesses are barely making it off ground because of the new Obamacare mandate. Big businesses are being wooed by other nations because of lowered taxes to move operations to their countries. Where is the promise of the American dream when there is this kind of market?
The same American opportunity that the parents of millennials had is slowly being whittled away with the current administration spending millions of dollars supporting non-American citizens. This administration cares so much more about illegals and refugees that we have kids sitting at home with no idea what to do other than collect the handouts given to them by the government.
If this is the kind of country you were brought up in, then you would believe every negative thing said about it as well. You would expect and believe that the government is the answer to your every day life and all your problems. When you're told that the only way to feed your family is to give up some freedoms, it's hard not to believe.
Work hard, or have it given to you? Where would you stand? Where are the role models for the younger generations to look up to?

A Day to Celebrate Mom
Today marks my second authentic Mother's Day. In case you wonder, it was a really nice day. I woke up and was able to cuddle my little guy back to sleep, got even more sleep for myself. Then there was coffee, lunch, and the wonderful promise of a day at the spa. Yes! Today was an excellent celebration of this mama.
Of course, I am the mom I am today because of my mom, my aunts, sister... basically because of everyone in my family AND the friends I have. If there is one very true statement, I did not ever really understand until I had baby Jameson is that it really does take a village to raise a child.
The first time I heard that statement, I was a teenager and it came from the mouth of Hillary Clinton. Surely she had to be wrong, because if she says it, then it can't be true. Alas, I am adult enough to admit and know that there is a point there. I am willing to admit that it is going to take a good number of people other than myself and my husband to help mold baby Jameson into a great man. He's going to need love and support of his parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, teachers, coaches... he is going to need a strong community behind him.
He'll need guidance when he doesn't know what fork in the road to take. He will need a good solid kick in his pants when he isn't working to his fullest potential. There will be the times where he will need to have a softer hand to wipe his tears and offer comfort. One of the things I am not looking forward to is explaining to him why certain people are mean to him for no reason; that is going to suck, but he'll have a good solid base around him because that is what every kid needs.
I am amazed at the parents I see now. They aren't the push-overs we have seen a lot of. They are not the over-bearing/mind controlling types. I am seeing parents like the parents that we had growing up. You could have freedom within reason, but watch out if you abuse that trust. I do believe that it is going to be baby Jameson's generation that is going to bring us all back from the brink of this nonsense train we are witnessing.
I think that so many parents before me were too young to have their children, and their biggest goal was to be their friend and not the parent, so some basic ideals went by the wayside. I believe that those who are bringing up their children now have the best of all examples of parenting; and I honestly see some great role models these kids can look up to again. It's a great time to be a parent! There are so many tools at our disposal.
Heaven knows how much pressure we put on ourselves as parents, and I don't think that those insecurities will ever go away, but the best advice I can offer is to live in the moment. These moments go by far too quickly.
Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Namaste
Picture yourself in your most happiest of places. See it. Breathe it in. Feel your surroundings. Get lost in that space that is yours and yours alone.
Enjoy how you feel. Live in that space. It is SO amazing there!
Now take a deep breath.... and let it out.
Again, let's take a deep, cleansing breath. Breathe out any hot, lingering tension you are hanging onto.
I want you, as you open your eyes and come back to reality, hold onto those wonderful and cuddly feelings. As I go on, remember how relaxed you feel.
Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee, and that's OK. It really is.
*If this causes panic, please go back to the beginning and complete the relaxation exercise again then continue*
I say that Trump being the nominee is ok as a life long Republican. In my seasoned 32 years I do not ever see myself switching over to the dark side of the Democrat party. Life is good over here.
My years as a Republican party member have grounded me in solid beliefs of what's right and wrong, and I am happy to have Trump on my side. Yes he was a Democrat and he made contributions to Democrats in the past, but he's says he's Republican and people DO change their belief system. He's an intelligent man, brash for sure, but he'll polish up like a shiny new penny in the upcoming weeks.
Like many of you, I have heard these Never Trump people. I have listened to and tried to persuade them to understand how not voting for Trump is going to be a vote for the Democrats. For those who are offended by that statement, or for those who disagree, please tell me how I am wrong on that stance. I will listen to you with the most open of minds, regardless if right now I believe that to be the truth.
Hillary is more than likely going to be the one that the Republicans will face in the national election. Which I am happy about! We CAN defeat her! Bring it on! She isn't unbeatable, and I don't have to list to you why she's a horrible choice for President because we've all been there, done that.
I think we will see a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters upset with him not getting the nomination that they will not vote this cycle... and I am ok with that. Not everything is supposed to be handed to you by the government, Bernie supporters. America will NOT become a socialist nation, so go ahead and sit this one out.
By no means should we allow another Democrat choose anyone on our Supreme Court. This current Supreme Court now is threatening to withhold School funds to North Carolina because of the "Bathroom Bill" is shameful and singularly a prime example as to why NO Democrat should be allowed to nominate/appoint anyone. Children should never have their education compromised. If those in the Never Trump crowd don't fully understand how important it is to keep Hillary or anyone from the Democratic party from appointing another Justice, I'm at a loss. Why would we elect someone to bring our court more to the left? It makes no sense and is morally wrong.
Democrats should not be able to keep undermining the constitution with their bizarre progressive ideas that don't benefit anyone but their special interests. (By special interests I mean their funding.)
Democrats should not be allowed to continue to bash our nation by diminishing our importance worldwide because they feel like we're the cause of all evil on this planet.
Democrats at the end of the day need to stop ruining our country to maintain their current power and wealth.
I am so tired of waking up every day and reading another story where the value of life is consistently diminished.
I am so tired of hearing from the left that my rights as a natural American citizen pale to the rights of those in our nation illegally.
I am so tired of trying to convince other Americans why they should honor our nation and not burn our flag.
Voting for someone who would be on a third party ticket is just the same as voting for the Democrats. Who would be able to come in now and pull everyone together? Who would have an honest shot at beating the two front runners as it stands now? A third party candidate would of course ease some people's conscience, but none out now are a viable option to actually win.
Trump getting elected isn't a bad thing. He wasn't my first choice, I was all in for Carson. He was my guy! As it stands now, Trump is a better choice than Hillary, and any other Democrat who may get the nomination. I will not lose sleep voting for him and neither should you.
I yearn for a non-PC leader who will, dare I say, Make America Great Again.
Enjoy how you feel. Live in that space. It is SO amazing there!
Now take a deep breath.... and let it out.

The Bell Tolls for the GOPe
The bell has rung repeatedly for all of the candidates the GOPe has endorsed. The fat lady has sung their sad song of defeat on numerous occasions this election cycle. So what is the GOPe next move? Try anything and everything to hold on to their power.
Power has got to be more addictive than any drug out there. Why else would the establishment not want to throw their support behind the leading nominee? Why wouldn't they try to win? It is because neither of these people are promising them that they will help them maintain that power they have become so addicted to.
You've got Trump and Cruz left for the Republican ticket; Kasich is behind Rubio who is already OUT of the race, so I am not counting on Kasich to make a come back. The options look dim for the Gope, right? They are going to have to finally accept the will of the people supporting their party, right? No! They still have the convention!
There is still hope for the GOPe, right? The cynical side says they will get what they want either way, even if that means allowing Hillary to win. If the GOPe chooses not to accept the primary and caucus voting results they will face backlash that may mean their demise IF the people rise up against them.
What the GOPe is doing to bring down Trump and Cruz is equivalent to a child not getting their candy at the check out line in the grocery store. Yelling, kicking, screaming, hitting... all because they are not getting their way.
The GOP Elites are spoiled children in need of a good spanking.
Boehner says Cruz is "Lucifer in the flesh" and that he is a "miserable S.O.B." Really? Come on now. Boehner is a spineless DC conformist, why do his opinions matter? He's part of the GOPe. He has a few favors to keep. He is part of the distrust of the American government.
Politics is a dirty grouping of people in search of power. That power stems from money, LOTS of money. Those who have a majority of it typically end up coming out on top. Those who don't have a staggering amount of cash flow are usually left in the dust unless they are willing to have a louder voice than their opponent. Just because politics is a who's who with buckets of money being burned in a fireplace doesn't mean that the people have to accept it.
The optimistic side of me is noticing distain and unrest with traditional ways things are done in politics and that is why we are seeing movements such as Trump, Cruz, and (I hate to say it) even Sanders.
The GOPe will not last if they continue down their current path of ideology. Those in charge of the GOP aren't necessarily conservative, they just have a lot of vested interest whether it be for their business, but it all boils down to money. Which is why when I hear of them complaining that person X isn't "conservative enough" I get a kick out of it. Where is the compromise that the Democrats and GOPe clamor for? After all, isn't that what they tell the people how things should get done in DC? That logic dictates that they should support and try to help the winner of the vote win this November.
The bell is starting to ring louder for those within the GOPe. Either way, I think we are about to witness a new Republican party emerging.
