What people think

July 31, 2017 By Carol Cassara 13 Comments

responsible-for

This can be a very hard lesson, indeed. Because many times we're driven by what people think of us. Even if we're not conscious of it. People see us through their own filters: their likes, dislikes, insecurities, talents--all of it. Some try to manipulate how people see them. Look at some of the . . .

Rage.

November 12, 2016 By Carol Cassara 18 Comments

rage

Dear privileged white men and other delusional people: I have a few things to say to you. DO NOT ASK ME how I know that the stories I retell of detestable infractions against human rights, of inhuman racist and bigoted behavior are true. They're true. But even if only 20 percent of them were true . . .

My heart hurts

July 8, 2016 By Carol Cassara 23 Comments

responsible-gun-control

I'd like to write something heartwarming today, like about my dog, or my husband, or maybe a friend I love. But really, I can't get over how my heart aches over some of the attitudes I see. The latest spate of gun violence, part of our daily news in the 21st century, has brought out a fulsome . . .

How Trump can win the White House

June 28, 2016 By Carol Cassara 27 Comments

Trump-can-win

These are the people who can put Trump in the White House. Even though America was founded by people seeking tolerance and acceptance for differences, those are traits many Americans do not think are important (if they think at all) and do not represent. The irony is inescapable. The fact is, . . .

“Balls!” said the queen

June 27, 2016 By Carol Cassara 34 Comments

"Balls," said the Queen. "If I had two, I'd be king." The King laughed, not because he wanted to (two) but because he had to (two). At dawn the air is cool and if I open all the windows and French doors for a few hours, the house stays fresh and cool most of the day. When the sun starts inching . . .

What to do about privilege

June 13, 2016 By Carol Cassara 45 Comments

privilege

I live in the same county as the Stanford rapist, his victim, the judge, the D.A. and the probation officer, all key players in a scenario that has been played out thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of times in the United States, but for some reason has now blown up the internet. The . . .

The human race

June 7, 2016 By Carol Cassara 20 Comments

human-race

One of the most disturbing things about what's going on now is how so many people are more focused on our differences than our similarities. For those of us who were part of the peace and love generation, the generation for whom equality and civil rights were not only top of mind but the way we . . .

The magic of invisibility

January 22, 2016 By Carol Cassara 30 Comments

invisibility

“I don’t know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower.”         ~Banksy And who would know that better than the reclusive street artist, Banksy, who made an entire career out of invisibility? There's a new category, . . .

Foods I do not understand

January 19, 2016 By Carol Cassara 35 Comments

I am not exactly an adventurous eater. I like basic food prepared well. I do not always enjoy the output of chefs who think combining odd flavors makes for a good (and expensive) dish. As the late, great pastry chef, Gina DePalma once said, "People are just too jacked up on food and cooking. Just . . .

Allergic to chores

November 27, 2015 By Carol Cassara 25 Comments

chores

I'd love to be the kind of person who addresses chores immediately every day and gets great pleasure from completing them. Oh, I love to cross them off my To-Do list, but the actual doing? Not my thing. I am, in fact, allergic to chores. It would be accurate to say I hate chores. You might laugh . . .
