I decided it was time to come out of my shell and put my own face onto these audacious posts I'm creating, so people who wish to criticize the heck out of me, can do it right to my face. So there... I apologize for those of you who would prefer not to stare at my face while reading.
It should be noted that this is a passport photo - the only thing remotely professional I have. AND, I was nine months pregnant with my third child. So if you want to bark at me, know that you are doing it to a poor pregnant lady who can't afford a decent professional headshot. All kidding aside, I welcome all posts in any form.
I can't tell exactly who dislikes my posts more, liberals who can't stand anything conservative and think we're all cold-hearted mean people, or conservatives who think I can't possibly be conservative because I love everyone. WHATEVER. I know there's more of us out there. We are the new "heightened-awareness" element of the right-wing.
I am about to teach my children more about the life of Thomas Jefferson today as well as colonial South Carolina interspersed with decimals, long division, fractions and renaming - oh - and we bought caterpillars this week - soon to be hatched into Butterflies! This sort of spirit-filled school day at home is just the thing that usually inspires the kinds of posts from me that make people either really inspired or really irritated. Stay tuned!

I just found your blog (through a Facebook ad, btw) and am thoroughly enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteYour identification of those who dislike your posts is interesting. My wife and I have found a similar reaction to our beliefs. Liberals think we're radical extremist conservatives because we take some pretty strong stands on some of the typical conservative issues, but our conservative friends think we're liberal because we recycle, don't want trees cut down unless there's a reason, and try to help the homeless and other folks who are in need.
It's too bad people try to be part of one group or party affiliation or another instead of simply taking a careful look at each issue and trying to take a stand for what's right.
Keep up the good work. I have added you to my RSS feed.
Thank you, Richard. I am on Facebook as well - Audacity of Compassionate Conservatism. I only now saw your post - I make a habit NOT to reread things I write! Thank you for following.
