I’m writing because (1) it’s been a while and (2) I don’t know how much longer I will be part of this earth. Most of you know by now I am never afraid to write the truth about what I’m feeling because “man” does not control my life; I do. I’ve been studying my ass […]

Once A Cop, Always A Cop
Once A Cop, Always A Cop by jeanneassam I haven’t posted a blog in a while. I’ve been incredibly anti-social lately. That may be why. My last blog, “Mile High Lie” about all the lies regarding the 5280 Magazine story was kind of a traumatic experience. The betrayal of that article and of the writer kind of […]
Pursue Peace, Hang on to Hope
Last Tuesday, March 5th, around 10 a.m., a man I had been introduced to only minutes earlier, tried half-heartedly to contain his bizarre disdain for me. Funny thing is, I was told that he was the very man who would be offering me a job and paying me a very nice salary for it. Since […]
Indivisibly Divided
I was invited to speak at an event this past weekend at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. The event was basically about our freedom as Americans. It was a privilege to be invited and I’m glad I was able to be part of it. Before our lunchtime keynote speaker spoke on Saturday, we all […]
Mile High Lie
I have to write about this because it’s been bothering me for a long time. I have gone back and forth so much; should I say something or not. But it haunts me at night, so I will write. The December issue of 5280 featured a lengthy story about me that was filled with lies. […]
Difficult Words for Difficult Times
I wonder if a person can get obese in one afternoon. My fraternal twin sister sent me a giant Reese’s for Christmas, the cups the size of two small pies. It’s so good, I have to pray for strength to stop eating it. Normally, I take a bite and put the thing away. Not […]
We Are All Americans
All the political ads are driving me a bit crazy, as I’m sure they are doing to many of you. It grieves me to hear each presidential candidate slamming the other one. Blaming the other one. The lies and false reports. And many people actually believe much of what they are being told. Kills me. […]
Trigger Trauma
I have seen therapists before. I’m sure they mean well, but to me, it seems they cut your chest open, you spill your guts to them, then without closing the wound and stitching you back up, they say, “That’ll be $100, please” and send you out the door with your guts dragging behind you. The […]
Too Much Salt
Lot’s wife turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back with regret at the life she was leaving. I don’t want that to happen to me. This weekend, I cut up all my police jackets, patches, shirts…..everything. I cut them up and threw them in the dumpster. While this was therapeutic, it also […]
I See The Light
I once wrote on Facebook, “Is that really a light at the end of the tunnel or is it a mere firefly?” I can now happily report it was indeed the light. And I made it. I literally did not want to live last year. And believe me, I’m certainly not afraid to die. But […]
