How much do black lives matter to you?

June 1, 2020 By Carol Cassara 21 Comments

black-lives-matter

I don't know how to tackle this subject and do it justice. I just know I have to try, even If I stumble. Do you find it as strange as I do that we have to actually point out that black lives matter? Do you wonder why it isn't that something that everyone in our multi-faceted nation takes for . . .

When we remembered who we are

May 25, 2020 By Carol Cassara 10 Comments

who-we-are

This is my hope. That what's going on now will turn the tide for humanity. That we will realize that caring for one another is what's really important and that we will go forward with that framework. That we remember who we are: interdependent human beings who inhabit this earth together. That's . . .

Now is the time to use critical thinking

April 24, 2020 By Carol Cassara 2 Comments

critical-thinking

It was bound to happen: a time when in order to survive, we're called on to use critical thinking skills. Many of us are ill-prepared to do this because we haven't been taught to evaluate what we see, read or experience. We're taught to buy it lock, stock and barrel. Or it's just a knee-jerk . . .

When did we lose our sense of humor?

January 6, 2020 By Carol Cassara 26 Comments

weight-of-the-world

When did we become so grey and humorless-- --when did we become people who carry the weight of the world on our shoulders --all of it--taking ourselves and everything around us far too seriously? I can hear the click of outraged responses on social media now. But hey, take a moment to hear me . . .

Looking for the light in dark times

October 28, 2019 By Carol Cassara 2 Comments

looking-for-light

Many of us are looking for the light in these dark times. Does that describe you? It certainly describes me. Because I am seriously distressed with what I see from some of my fellow citizens.  I know I'm not alone. Sometimes it is more than I can bear.  Kids in cages, separated from their parents, . . .

How we get woke

October 21, 2019 By Carol Cassara 6 Comments

get-woke

If only getting woke were as simple as walking through a door. "Get woke" means becoming aware of social injustices --and it applies especially to those of us born with unrecognized privilege. Getting woke is the process of recognizing our privilege and understanding that others may not have the . . .

How the left is turning on itself

October 17, 2019 By Carol Cassara 5 Comments

Bill-Mahar

It's clear that the left is turning on itself. Eating its young, so to speak. And eating its old, too. Consuming everyone on its own side. That splintering of what should be a unified force is why that awful man in the Oval could very well get re-elected. But that could be too nuanced for many to . . .

October 7, 2019 By Carol Cassara 2 Comments

get-hired-when-you're-over-55

Ageism isn't a myth. It's a fact. If you're in those senior years of your career or job, it can be tough going.  That's why it takes a bit of strategy to look for a job when you're over 55.  It's not impossible--and it's so much easier when you know how to present your experience in a positive . . .

How to find the truth (in any situation)

September 17, 2019 By Carol Cassara Leave a Comment

conspiracy-theory

The famous Occam's Razor says that the simplest explanation is usually the best. And maybe back in the 1300s when Occam was alive, that was true. Sometimes, it can be, even today. But it's not always the best explanation. Sometimes, you can't prove something. But that doesn't mean you can't figure . . .

The curiously closed mind

September 9, 2019 By Carol Cassara Leave a Comment

open-mind

Very few people have a truly open mind, I've found. They're programmed by rigid beliefs based on schooling, religion or something else.  They have a hard time with the question, "what if?" They look for "proof," for statistics way early on. They judge and ridicule beliefs that do not meet their . . .
