Been thinking about sharing my very own Declaration of Independence. Thought today would be a good day to put it in my blog!

I will believe, as I have always believed, that you can be or do what you want, just don’t shove it down my throat.

I will not be placing undying trust in the CDC, FDA, or medical professionals as I once did.  I will question and research.  I will listen to doctors that are silenced by the media.  They won my respect as most of what they were silenced for, was the truth, regarding covid and its treatment.

I will wait patiently for an apology from the CDC and medical professionals on why they prohibited known cures, like ivermectin and hydroxy, while people were dying by the thousands in hospitals.  They can add a P.S. to that apology as to how their vax and boosters didn’t actually work and are causing quite a spike in deaths now. 

Create a disease to treat a disease?

I will not be calling anyone by pronouns.

I will continue to support the protection of women-only sports, bathrooms, and shower areas.  Whatever happened to the women of the 60’s who worked so hard for “biological” woman’s rights?  

I can’t believe I even have to say, “protect women-only spaces.”

I do not support the chemical and physical castration of children.   When these tiny humans are adults, let them do what they want.  Until that time, treat them and their parents with counseling for this social contagion – gender dysphoria – that has attacked our youth. 

A town close to me is raising the age to buy tobacco products to 21 and you need to be 18 to get a tattoo, yet you can take puberty blockers at the age of 8 – make this make sense.

Follow the group — Gays Against Groomers — their messages are mainly posted on Instagram. They actually do make sense regarding this subject.

I will not support the fact that there are more than two genders – XX and XY. Nope, you can’t make me….

I will support the banning of books from school libraries that describe explicit sex acts between children, either same sex or different.  I’m sorry, I would not want my child, either straight or gay, reading those books.  The minds of children are NOT ready for some things, let them be children.  

And so seated next to my father in the train compartment, I suddenly asked, “Father, what is sexsin?”
He turned to look at me, as he always did when answering a question, but to my surprise he said nothing. At last he stood up, lifted his traveling case off the floor and set it on the floor.
“Will you carry it off the train, Corrie?” he said.
I stood up and tugged at it. It was crammed with the watches and spare parts he had purchased that morning.
“It’s too heavy,” I said.
“Yes,” he said, “and it would be a pretty poor father who would ask his little girl to carry such a load. It’s the same way, Corrie, with knowledge. Some knowledge is too heavy for children. When you are older and stronger, you can bear it. For now you must trust me to carry it for you.” The Hiding Place – Corrie Ten Boom

I still support coming into the country legally, as many, many people have done.  (Oh, and please don’t speak to me about vaccinations, any vaccinations.  Those who enter the country illegally, do not need to be vaccinated, correct?)

I will support the groups that end child trafficking and will support everything to do with ending pedophilia in this society, which includes releasing the Epstein client list. Links are below:

The Tim Tebow Foundation

Operation Underground Railroad

I will continue to believe in God and the ten simple rules he handed down.  It appears many have forgotten them or may have chosen not to teach them to their children.

I will continue to support putting criminals in jail – sorry not sorry.  Just as we should raise our children, there are consequences for your actions.  And for cities who have defunded their police departments, or vote for no-bond laws, is this the outcome you wanted?

I will continue to believe that our voting system should be one vote, per person, in person with an ID on the day of the election.  It seems that France went back to this practice, as well as other developed countries, because of the problems with fraud.

I will not forget how the unvaccinated were treated and humiliated.  This is burned into my heart forever as I am one of them.

I will continue to question the whole “green” movement.  If you’re not going to figure out plastic recycling, then don’t shove an electric car down my throat.  Please world, listen to scientists on both sides of the climate issue or any issue.  

You’ll find it very informative and surprising.

I will not support the next “groupthink” issue, i.e. BLM, Antifa, Climate Change and now the Trans movement, until you show me that any new movement is actually helping society versus destroying it. If you can do that, then I’ll hop on board.

I will continue to question local and federal governments that enable the addiction or mental illness of citizens which continues to add to the homeless problem. Street People of LA document life on the streets of LA that you will not see on the news.

I will not stop questioning our government as to why billions are sent overseas without an accounting of the distribution, but I need to account for things I might sell at a Farmers Market.

I will continue to support the 1^st Amendment even though I might not like what you say or even if you’re making it up.  I mean we’ve been listening to MSM for years. What percentage of what they say is actually true?

I will continue to believe that there is a need for term limits for our elected officials. The government has lost ALL credibility with me. You campaign on what you believe we want to hear and do whatever the hell you want, when elected. We had no say on shutting down our pipelines, allowing nearly 3,000,000 illegals to cross the border, and sending almost $81,000,000,000 to Ukraine. Dear government, that $81 Billion was not yours to send, it was ours. We didn’t get to vote on that…

I will not thank the government that a gallon of $6.00 gas has dropped $.20 when the same gallon of gas, four years ago, was $2.60 a gallon.

I will believe in my heart that most people are good.  I don’t care what color you are, what sex you are, where you’re from, what religion you practice or what political party you support.  If you can have an open discussion of your beliefs without punching someone in the face, I’m here for the talk.

I will not support 15-minute cities and will continue to believe that fossil fuels and nuclear power can be used wisely. Where do all the electric batteries go when they stop working? What goes into making those batteries in the first place? Just some of the things I think about…

I will continue to believe that the United States is the last bastion of freedom, because capitalism has taken more people out of poverty than socialism – it’s a fact. People need to take pride in what they’ve worked hard for and not have the government spoon feed them anymore.

I do not and will never support ESG (Environmental, Social and Government) scoring. Good example, Black Water Series, Season 3, Episode 1 – Nosedive – Netflix.

I will fly the American flag, daily, with pride and honor.  My family and I have been blessed to live in a country where many of my family served to protect it. 

I will not forget what a privilege it is to live in a country where the citizens will fight to keep the freedoms that were given to them, by God, and supported by the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights for the past 247 years.

Happy Birthday America!

Grateful for you and Freedom,

Sheree

This is Iyabo. She was bought from a beautiful woman at a market in 1996 when we lived in Kokomo Indiana.

I loved her from the beginning.  I loved her dress, her jewelry and I loved the woman who sold her to me.  The woman was from Africa and explained, in a beautiful accent, how she was sharing a little piece of her culture through Iyabo.  Being an artist, I appreciated the craftsmanship and the attention to detail which brought her to life.

Iyabo has been on and off my shelves for almost 26 years.  She is still a beautiful piece of art, and she still makes me smile.

Fast forward to today…

I was unpacking some of my treasures and I came upon my beloved Iyabo.  How things have changed since she became a part of my life.  I needed to tell her… everything.

I told her, today, it might be considered cultural appropriation if I put her on my shelves. 

She laughed.

I described how white and black humans have been divided – again. We’re told to no longer judge a person on their character or integrity but by skin color, beliefs, where they live, and what they do for a living.

She furrowed her brows.

I warned her that any discussions of differing opinions on subjects, such as these, were basically forbidden.  Respect and civil discourse were a thing of the past.

She became sad.

I explained that the freedoms her designer came to America to find, are starting to crumble.  Sadly, while many of us stand on the sidelines and watch it happen.

She was shocked.

Not to be a complete downer to this little work of art, there was some discussion how I truly believe, people just want to be loved, heard, hugged and to be free.  They want to take pride in their jobs (as her designer had), have food to eat, live without fear of crime and believe in what people say to them.  People want the truth, which is hard to share at times, rather than the lies which seem to come so easily to so many.

She whole-heartedly agreed.

I also described “social media” to her, which was not around when she was created.  “Although humans think they are truly advanced,” I shared “we are not ready for this type of communication. We share “our” truths and believe it should and must be “everyone’s” truth.  We’ve forgotten that “the” truth is truth…”

She understood.

I finished up our talk and placed her in a perfect place on the shelf so I can smile at her daily.  She’ll remind me of the beautiful intentions, the talent, and the reasons her designer came to this country. 

She’ll tell me, often, to ignore what’s being published or posted and continue to believe as I have always believed, that people are basically good. 

Her cute little smirk will impress upon me how character and integrity need to be brought back into our everyday lives and taught ‘by example’ to younger generations.

“Character is one’s moral and ethical code, and integrity means that one lives according to that code”

My wish is that you have an Iyabo come into your life to keep you centered and grateful.

Grateful for you,

Sheree

P. S. Thank you E. Robbin for being at that market and bringing Iyabo into my life.

I’ve been pretty distracted with our house build this year, but I haven’t stopped observing how divided we’ve become. 

Who can’t observe it?

I’m not a conspiracy nut, well perhaps the nut part, but sit back and look through my eyes as to what I’ve observed.

Here are the daily rantings from the MSM and social accounts…

We are:

Divided by religion.  Everyone hates Islam, and Jews and Christians.

Divided by race.  Everyone hates blacks and whites and Asians.

Divided by class. Everyone hates people with money, any amount more than they have.

Divided by political beliefs.  Everyone who voted for Trump is a racist, evil and selfish and everyone who voted for Biden is not.

Divided by the status of the environment.  Everyone who uses plastic water bottles and straws are evil, but masks in the ocean are ok.

And now we are divided by a virus that was man-made. 

Divided by the treatment of said virus. Those who believe there are therapeutics to prevent it and/or lessen said virus and the power of natural immunity and those who agree with a government mandated therapeutic that does not eliminate said virus. 

And now we’re divided by the creation of a “travel” card that will eventually eliminate our freedoms one by one, if we do not act and say, as we are told.

Dividing us is the easiest way to remove us from our family ties, our friends, our beliefs, and our morals. 

Removing what unites us helps create the “new world order” made up of group think rather than of individual beliefs. “Critical thinking” is taught to second graders, but many adults have forgotten how or are too lazy, to critically think for themselves.

When you have all the power: MSM, funded politicians, social media, entertainment industry to project only one way of thinking, you eliminate the voices of those with whom you disagree. Dividing people doesn’t eliminate their truths; it only creates suspicion and more division.

So why are we listening to organizations who tell us how we should feel about one another?  Why don’t we just look into the faces of our friends, our neighbors, the people waiting in line at the grocery and observe the love they have for their family, their jobs, and friends.  They didn’t need to run through an approved checklist for those feelings, they just have them because they are humans! 

My friend is going in for brain surgery tomorrow to remove a tumor.  Do you need to know her religion, her race, if she has money, who she voted for or if she’s been vaccinated to pray for her?  And if you do not have a God, do you need all those prerequisites to wish her well?

I’m pretty sure the answer is no.

I wish you all a blessed Christmas spent with loving family and friends, undivided, with the realization that we are all precious human beings no matter what color, sex, religion, amount of money, who we voted for or our vax choice.

And, Nancy, you might have a lot more prayers tonight than you expected my friend…

Grateful for you and Merry Christmas,

Sheree
