MID-TERM RECKONING I, Donovan Lord, always vote. It doesn’t matter what the purpose of the election is, if I’m eligible to vote, I will. I vote in my local and municipal elections, statewide elections, and national elections. I do this because first of all, it’s a right so many have fought for throughout American history, […]

Synchronicity
Donovan Lord Do you know about synchronicity? I was just typing an email to someone and as I was typing the words “as close as possible to the original”, a man on TV said the EXACT same words AS I was typing them! This happens to me a lot in life. I notice it when […]
Kindness
Recently I’ve experienced some major emotional minefields in my life. These past few weeks have been filled with a sense of unfairness and a lack of understanding from others.

My faves are Dandelion, Merry Go Round and of course, Follow Your Arrow. She really came out as a powerhouse in “new country” but she’s not even like the rest, she’s […]

I suddenly remembered how much I loved these delicate yet intense (much like myself) treats! So I broke out my French Pastry cookbook and got to work. It […]

Writing Milestone
I thought I would post this to show a tangible, physical illustration of my many years of hard work on my memoir. It’s easy to talk about it and it doesn’t seem real to others or even to oneself until it’s in physical form, but here is my work (and my agony). I finally completed […]
The Christian Reich
Written by Donovan Lord (2012) I wrote this article for Moot Magazine in 2012 as a response to the storm I saw coming at the time in America. The transition and hijacking of America from a country of laws to a Theocracy. Although I wouldn’t say we are a theocracy at this point, it […]
