Welcome to remote learning

-
 This morning I got up, hobbled out of bed and walked into my sons rooms and game him a kiss on the cheek, and told him time to get up, it’s the first day of 4rth grade... I went over to the kitchen and pressed the on button on my prepared coffee machine, and started boiling water for my oatmeal, and prepared my sons lunch to place in the fridge for later... I wanted to do this, to get back into the habit of just having his lunch already ready. Same with the coffee... there will be no more mornings of figuring it out, I have to just be ready to go... I’ve got my son situated with breakfast, I am feeling great, and I am determined that no matter what happens, I can do this, and I will stay positive and patient and not lose it... of course however at a few minutes till 8 am, roughly 8:50, I log into my sons online platform for school and nothing is working... Ah probs just a typo, I do it again, nope... nothing nada... I do it again... now I am sweating a little as the minutes of goi...

Remote School Days

-
 Well I guess in all my wildest thoughts, I never thought THIS is how I would become a homeschooler... I mean I guess technically it’s “remote schooling” but is it really? I mean don’t you think most moms and dads with kids that are still in elementary school, or parents of special needs kids aren’t really just saying, “Hey kid! Get on your computer and go for it” it’s not gonna be that easy... We were not given the option for in school like some schools in our neighboring areas... Not sure why, but I do have to agree... with the rates, and many schools already closing after one or two weeks, it’s just inevitable and why open up a school, get everything set up for in school only to have to close shortly after, it really doesn’t make much sense, and is not in everyone’s best interest. As parents have to flip flop between in school and then not again... I mean it’s gonna be different... The truth is, I guess I will find out for sure starting tomorrow just how easy or not easy, or wha...

Enough: my post covid world

-
 I think the idea has come up many times in my head these past several weeks... the idea of concept of being enough... Let me tell you a few things about me... I have been working all of my life, and I have been fighting the good fight... Literally, I have been working since I was 12... you see, there are a lot of priveledged people in the world, in my world anyways... and well I grew up never feeling like what I had or who I was, was really enough... My mom had decided to home school me and my sister... But I was lonely, I craved interaction and friendship. I asked her to go to a regular school... she said yes! That was a blessing and a curse... I learned very quickly who I wasn’t... and this inner child pain has followed me my whole life...  I was also bullied, that too has followed me my whole life... never feeling smart enough, rich enough, pretty enough...  I hated my body up until I moved to New York in my early 20’s suddenly I realized I was fucking hot.. yeah... I...

This is the Day

-
There’s this song I discovered a couple years back watching a movie with my step daughter... In the song, sung by THE THE, yes THE THE is a real group, that had this kinda magical one hit wonder... the lyrics sing “ this is the day your life will surely change, this is the day when things fall into place”...  This song came to me at a relatively unusual time in my life last year, cause I got really sick for a while... And I wound up in strange solitude watch this movie called Everyday. It originally came out in 2018, but for whatever reason I watched it the following year. The movie is quite interesting, proving the boundaries of love are colorless, genderless, because it’s about a spirit that travels from body to body each day of it’s life... The Spirit changes to a new body when the one it’s in goes to sleep, and it awakens in a new body. During the spirits journey it meets a girl, in repeated situations, as the spirit never travels far, and seems to drawn to younger hosts... The...

Start Fresh: welcome to Peach Be the Journey

-
Welcome to the start of a new Blog page by myself, Olivia Carol Williams... I often go by Olivia Peach is my art name... If you have known me for a long time, you may know that... I used to have a website called Olivia Peach, I’m planning to have that up soonish... The title of this page is “Peach be the Journey”  a play on words of one of my newer mantras this past year... an old saying from a movie called Cool Runnings... They would say in the film, “Peace (instead of Peach) Be the Journey” which means “go in peace” or “safe Journey” SO I have started this, because I think I need an outlet, My own journey in writing... and I love writing, and I think it’d be cool to share my thoughts and life, outside of FB, and if people are really interested or engaged in what they are reading, it’s a great way for me to engage with those people... I’ve had other blogs in the past, the Mother Dome was one, and I loved it and it’s still up, but I just think I want something out there that’s a li...
