With just enough college to be dangerous, I can boast of no degrees, certifications, nor am I licensed by anyone to claim knowledge. I do, however have a miraculous magnitude of life experience to draw from. I have been told for a while that I should share those experiences, and here I have found an outlet. My experience as a pre-school teacher has helped with my Management positions, but nothing has been as satisfying as helping others through sharing through my writing.
Even my greatest moments of weakness involving “Bi-Polar Disorder”, Migraines, “Fibromyalgea” and “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” have become points of interest in the survival of others. I am far from perfect, but willing to expose my imperfections for the improvement of others.
Ultimately, I am an individual of great compassion, who only seeks to make this experience better for others. I have found I can do that by writing and listening and sharing. My insights having improved the lives of people I know, I am reaching out to serve the greater good.
The other day I’m soaking in the tub, and a million thoughts run through my head. Sometimes I am composing a letter to a god-child, or creating lesson plans I haven’t need for over 5 years. This time one sticks.
You must Understand that I have never seen “Sex in the City” but I do know what it’s about. Carrie’s career is her writing what she thinks about the everyday things that pop into her head, and the dramas that are the life of (in her case) a single woman. And I Understand that we are referring to a work of fiction.
Do you remember Erma Bombeck? She was a wonderful writer who wasn’t just able to find the humor in the everyday catastrophe that is “normal family life”. I did not have the privilege to know her in person, but I did receive the blessings of reading her books, and learning how to laugh at the situations you would only find yourself in if life wasn’t so tragic. Because of her, I can laugh when “Grandma Scruffy” ties a pumpkin scarf over her bald head the Halloween she was going through Chemo.
Life isn’t easy for anyone. I know rich people and I know poor people. I know straight people and I know Gays. I know old people and I know young people. I know “sane” people and I know people who just know how to pretend to be “sane”. The point is I don’t just have the privilege of Knowing a great variety of people, but of having their confidence as we work through life’s happenings together.
And I can tell you no one is happy all the time. Life is difficult for everyone; the difficulties are just different, that’s all. The key is in how we deal with those difficulties.
For me it is in writing, but it is also in helping others. Since I have had examples of it recently, I’m hoping that this blog will do the same. I think if Erma were here, she’d have one as well. Like I did with her work, maybe you will read something here that helps you deal with your life, or that you can share with someone in need.
I won’t promise that you will like everything you read, nor that I will always maintain a positive attitude. This is real. Like I tell the people who come to me for advice, I’m not perfect, but I try to be positive 
So feel free to jump on board the Taunta Beanie train. The tragic ahead is full of twists and turns, but hopefully we can Learn, Laugh & Leave it!

I really like your website. The movies you have selected are really awesome and the stories that you have penned make me gob-smacked. Continue with the fantabulous work.
Smile. Grandpa would love it.
