I'm an avid crossword puzzle solver type of woman....I've been solving puzzles since I was ten years of age, maybe??
Anyhooo.... I've just learned, in a round about way, or rather it came to me while thinking about annoying pet peeves about puzzles, that most all editions of puzzle books seem to be authored by politically minded conservatives. It dawned on me that this must be the reason why I sometimes see hidden clues to the author's inner biases that seem hardly noticed by the casual puzzle solver, but this epiphany came to me while saying to myself the other day: "WTF is wrong with this person's thinking process?" , when the clue given to solve for the term used was most often a conflation of the term-proper, but also reveals rather toxic types of personal beliefs that go strictly against the grain, as far reaching as women's rights or unclever, well hidden views toward the LGBTQ, or even straight out, laugh in your face -- 'haha, I support the fucker elected to national office." Now that I see this issue more clearly, I have resolved to never buy a puzzle book that has even one whiff of biased conservatism. I'm guessing there is a niché market for puzzle books that do not favor biased political process?

To be more mindful of the depth of my relationship with my Partner, and how seemingly simple actions or words effect Her self confidence or frame of mind.
My actions and words become deeply integrated in Her view of life and Her determination. How deeply I effect Her life and Her mine, how deep our connection is.

That sometimes I need to step up, being assertive, to defend my own and other's issues no matter how uncomfortable it may feel.

I learned several years ago the difference
between being liked and admired and being valued and appreciated in any form of relationship...family, friends, patrons, clients, colleagues. It was quite a learning. Greco |
