2010 – A New Look for a New Decade

Today, I am officially launching a new look for my blog in 2010! The look is based on my lessons from the past decade, so it’s only fair to do a decade in review.

In this past decade, life saw it fit to teach me some very hard lessons. Unfortunately, it took me about just as long to learn those lessons… (Click Here to finish reading)

Love just happens… or does it?

After a year of being physically separated from my husband and 2 years of my marriage being over, I have just recently begun dating again. I have mixed emotions about this of which I’m sure I’ll blog about sometime. But what the recent dating has done most for me is bring the question of love to the forefront of my mind. I hadn’t really thought about this topic in a long time. In fact, it has really been buried underneath all my other thoughts until now…

Caustic Tongue

I want you to think back to a time where you got into a nasty argument with someone. You know, one of those arguments that completely ended a relationship and you never spoke to the person again. Even going back to thinking about it right now you can feel your neck starting to burn because you’re getting a bit hot under the collar.

Got it?

Good.

You have a choice in life

In hard times like these with people losing their jobs, homes and lifestyle, it is easy to lay down and curl up in a ball and give up. It is something you certainly could do. However, there ARE many people that thrive in economic times like these. How can that be?

Forgotten K9 Heroes in Need

Police K9s are all too often the first to get punched, kicked, stabbed, and shot at. They do not have a gun or a life-saving, bullet-resistant vest.

Police dogs are used in a variety of law enforcement roles, including:

Government Insanity – The Story of Charlie Lynch

So I’m watching 20/20 this evening and it comes to a story about a man named Charlie Lynch. Now, this blog is not about being for or against the legalization of medical marijuana. What this blog IS about is the insanity and incompetency of our government and how out of control our government has become. Read on to find out what I mean.

So back to Charlie Lynch…. He lives in California where medical marijuana has been legalized. Charlie, who lives in Morro Bay in California, became a dispenser of legal marijuana. He ran his practice by the book and had the backing of the Mayor (Janice Peters), City Councilmen and even the head of the Chamber of Commerce. Nothing was underhanded about his marijuana dispensing business.

However, the local Sheriff decided he didn’t like the dispensary and tried to go after Charlie Lynch. When the Sheriff and his undercover deputies couldn’t get Charlie to break any dispensary laws, they handed the case over to the Federal DEA. The DEA essentially busted Charlie and booked him on Federal charges. In that case, Charlie’s lawyers were not allowed to mention to the jury that marijuana was legalized in their state.

Can someone explain to me WTH is going on in this country? A man is doing business based on the laws of his state and a Sheriff who decides he doesn’t like the new law can intervene by bringing the Feds in?

Who is really in charge around here? Do people’s votes not count anymore? If the people of California vote to have Marijuana legalized, then shouldn’t it be legal in that state no matter what?

After all, it’s not like Charlie Lynch was shipping marijuana to another state. It’s not like he didn’t follow all the rules set forth by California on operating the dispensary. So what’s the problem here?

If you figure it out, please let me know… because I am certainly baffled.

In the meantime, if you want to read more about Charlie and help him as much as you can, you can go to www.friendsofccl.com
