Our Blog is a conglomeration of conversations which took place around the breakfast table in one or another Bettina Network home. We cover a wide range of topics.
As members of the Bettina Network Community send us information they would like disseminated to a large audience, or something happens which just strikes our fancy and we want to share it with all of you - it will go immediately to Bettina Network's Blog.
An Ode to a Past Life – Martinez Kindergarten – NOLA
This has been a tragic week. It is difficult to live each day, but to have to face the death of friends each day puts grief upfront and central to everything else that happens. We learned of the death of Numa Martinez this week. He died in 2019. The very next day we learned of…
Who the X%#&XD^ do you think you are!!!!
Everytime we read about what is happening with the shootings, destructive behavior against other human beings, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc., those are the words that come to mind. Much of this is done in the name of Christianity! That is the most amazing of all! BETTER THAN! is who you think you are to be…
A “Forever” Pot of Chicken Soup!
To start your Chicken Soup you will need: One whole organic chicken – one or two onions (to your taste) – one green pepper, one red pepper (organic, of course) – 4 stalks of organic celery – a taste of garlic (one or two bulbs) – and several organic carrots. Put 1/2 stick of organic…
Harvard Square becoming a Caricature of Wellesley, MA?
What was a settled, beautifully designed area has apparently lost its way and is now reeling in what looks like a drunken stupor of too much money; too little design sense; no historical thoughts, no room at all for the being true to the educational reasons which brought it into being – etc. etc. etc..…
Racism and Sexism in the Real Estate Market!
This is a topic very few want to touch. Having had several horrendous experiences with many real estate brokers and companies we decided to jump into the middle of the ocean and swim to shore, exposing and pointing out the dangers and great things along the way. The biggest problem in this industry is “redlining”…

The Solution to the U. S. Dilemma with the Republican Party!
It is time for the United States voters to take a good, clear look at the Republican Party and what it is about,. It is also time for United States voters to take a good look at where they stand on bigotry. Racism and its related sins has been internalized and that internalization accepted as…
Christianity Exposed!
by: Rev. Dr. Robert Bennett and Marceline Donaldson We are fighting huge battles with the forces of good and evil. Our current society doesn’t like to talk in these terms, however, it is hard to do otherwise as you look at just how stratified we have become around the issues of truth, justice, goodness, and…
The New Farming Methods – Grits
by: Marceline Donaldson Being from New Orleans, one of my joys growing up was to have grits for breakfast. When my eyes opened enough to speak I called downstairs to say – “grits momma, grits.” In those days, my favorite breakfast was “drits and liba.” However, unbeknownst to be as to why – for years…
