About
I’m not a fan of conformity. I am a fan of thinking for yourself but not living a life that’s only about you.
And that’s what I write about:
The life I want to live – not one other people think I should live;
My observations of an often unjust, sometimes beautiful, and almost always entertaining world;
My experiences working for an organization that serves people who are marginalized and whose voices often go unheard;
All the weird and bizarre things that seem to happen to me on a regular basis;
Everything I love: my family, my pets, other people’s pets, stray animals, videos of animals, pictures of animals, my friends (some who people might describe as animals), my job, riding my bike, and laughing way too loud (but never way too often);
And, at times, I write about any random thought that pops into my head.
So, there you go… welcome to my brain.
Hoping this is right.
oops forgot to check the boxes
Alright…another cyclist online…glad to have found you.
Be encouraged!…from another cyclist.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
Love your honesty. And you’re not trying to sound overly-intelligent. I like realness:)
Well… since I’m not overly intelligent to begin with, I don’t have to try too hard. Thanks for the feedback!
Trina, I love your lessons from life and following your journey. Thanks for always making me smile, think and explore more with your words. I have nominated you for a Gargie Award, you can check it out here: http://walking4air.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/and-the-gargie-award-goes-to/
Thanks… I will definitely get back with you on this!
Hi Trina, my name is Angie Callahan and I have been chosen to speak before the Board of Education, Kanawha County, West Virginia on behalf of the many parents and teachers regarding the tirade of one Pam Stenzel at George Washington High School last Tuesday. I would like to incorporate your words of a real sex educator into my presentation. Of course, I will give the credit to you! I am working fast and furious on my presentation, and have to submit it this evening! I hope you are able to respond to me today! Thanks so much!
Kind Regards,
Angie
Of course! Feel free! Thanks Angie!
While meandering through some bicycling blogs, I happened upon “365 Reasons to Smile”. I must say, although not every physical experience may be the same as you describe.. while riding, every emotional experience is the same as you describe. Very enjoyable reading.. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Awesome! Thanks!

Why does your cat want to ride a bike? And do you have any background in education?
She’s a very strange cat! Nope – I have a masters degree in social work but no experience in education. Which is why I wouldn’t ever consider thinking I was qualified to take a position in education!
