It’s Time To Turn In Our Shoelaces

Cindy DeBoer — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 19:58:21 +0000

I am a psychiatric nurse at a mental hospital. The single most important objective at the hospital – one that every single employee can tell you verbatim – is to keep people safe when they are at risk to harm themselves or others. We offer many other helpful services beyond that one objective; but primarily, […]

A Hiding Place (When the next Holocaust comes, you can come live with me)

Upstairs, on the third floor of our former crack home, awaits a really big and really empty, comfortably furnished attic apartment. Now that we are empty nesters, we’re deciding how best to use it.

Am I the truly the last one to the Rae Dunn Party? I have only recently discovered it’s magical lure when my sweet friend gifted me a mug engraved with“Sing” after she read my blog on how I’m struggling to sing. Apparently, RD is the latest craze and people are clamoring and clawing their way […]

A View Into the Syrian Refugee Camps

Is it time? Can I finally share about my experience in the Syrian refugee camps? I’ve patiently waited until the repugnant things surrounding our country’s midterm elections were over. But I was getting impatient… People are literally dying as the richest and most powerful country in the world spends millions of dollars on campaigning and […]

What happened when we opened our HOME to Muslims

Cindy DeBoer — Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:36:43 +0000

A few years back our family of six spent four years living in Morocco. In a country that is nearly 100% Islam, we made many Muslim friends. A couple weeks ago, one of those friends decided to visit our family here in Michigan. She traveled with her 18 yr. old daughter who was coming to […]
