Why Do You Care?

… if a stranger chooses to gender transition.

… if a stranger chooses to have an abortion, for whatever their reasons.

… if a stranger travels here and stays, builds a peaceful and productive life for whatever reason.

If you are living in relative comfort and safety, ask yourself….

Why Don’t You Care

… That countless folks like you, are forced to choose between financial ruin or going without life saving drugs and healthcare due to astronomical high healthcare costs while health insurance companies and their executives make record high profits and salaries.

… That our children go to school with the very real possibility of gun violence.

… That purchasing a home has become unattainable for the vast majority of hardworking people.

… That the cost of food, and other necessities are so high, that many hardworking people are walking around hungry and cold on a regular basis.

Ask yourself what motivates you to care so much about issues so far removed from you, to the point that you prioritize those issues that effect so few of us, over the issues that effect so many more of your fellow family, friends, and neighbors.

Ask yourself why do you care? And ask yourself Why don’t you care more about issues that confront many more people?

My latest make. It is a mash up of a self drafted blouse with the hem from Closet Core’s Jenna pattern. This blouse reminds me of a blouse my mother used to wear when she was my age. I have been thinking a lot of her lately. She has been gone for years. I miss her. I still try to learn from her. She was a creative soul. I sometimes curl up under one of her crochet blankets and remember her handmade cards, her decoupage table tops and many wood working projects. She dabbled in so many things, but her work always reflected her love of nature.
