Dear President Trump, I bet you did not have a good day and in fact, I bet you did not have a good week. Basically, as soon as the Special Counsel team announced that Flynn's lawyers were no longer cooperating with your lawyers it was crystal clear that Flynn is flipping on you. We've been … Continue reading I hope your minders are on high alert

Those gloaty smirky smiles make my stomach turn
Dear President Trump, Having Flynn plead guilty and the Senate pass their tax bill in the middle of the night both happen within the same 24 hour period has me thinking about epic battles between good and evil and how crazy it is that nearly half the electorate would disagree with me on which is … Continue reading Those gloaty smirky smiles make my stomach turn
Coping with the politics
Dear President Trump, Yesterday I spent the morning at church working on an installation for Advent. There were just a few of us, so I asked the others how they are coping with all the difficult (for us) politics. One of the women became very animated and told us that in November 2016 she suddenly … Continue reading Coping with the politics
Out of whack
Dear President Trump, Yesterday morning on my way to church a large black SUV with the license plate “6666” pulled into my lane directly in front of me. I thought the plate was odd so I filed it away to try and figure out later. When I looked it up online I found a numerology … Continue reading Out of whack
Studying uncertainty
Dear President Trump, I'm not sure how long I’ll keep this up, but I asked myself (the Universe, God, etc.) again about what is keeping me from being consistently in harmonious balance, sensing it isn't enough to stop with yesterday’s idea that my well-being is independent of everything going on. I do think there is … Continue reading Studying uncertainty
Doubling down on harmonious balance
Dear President Trump, I am not sure where I've been -- I just learned today about the Catheter Cowboy ads John Oliver is running on Fox & Friends for you. Apparently they started back in February so I've been missing out. I hope you’re learning something, anything, from them. I also saw your statement today … Continue reading Doubling down on harmonious balance
Harmonious balance isn’t harmonious or balanced if it’s static
Dear President Trump, Sometimes magic 8-balls keep giving different answers to the same question and sometimes the same answer keeps coming up no matter what the question is. These maddening patterns are probably just due to chance or the quite limited number of “answers” housed in whatever that weird liquid inside the balls is, but … Continue reading Harmonious balance isn’t harmonious or balanced if it’s static
“The softer I am with myself, the easier I am with others”
Dear President Trump, This morning I edited a paper for work about a qualitative study we did with Veterans who have PTSD who participated in a mindfulness-based stress reduction class at our VA and I came across this quote from one of the participants: "What I’ve learned about me is that the softer I am, … Continue reading “The softer I am with myself, the easier I am with others”
What was your motive?
Dear President Trump, It's happened a few times now where after I send you my letter for the day and I've received the usual immediate email back acknowledging receipt of my correspondence, a few hours later I'll get two more such White House missives. And this morning, there were actually two White House emails in … Continue reading What was your motive?
You are keeping the right people happy
Dear President Trump, I am certain the talking head people on Fox & Friends (which always makes me think of Fantastic Mr. Fox and his strange friends when I type it) and Breitbart have been solidly on point all along with the idea that you are doing exactly what your base wants you to do … Continue reading You are keeping the right people happy
