A sh!t storm. And nobody wants that.” - Unknown When was the last time you sat on the kitchen floor,... Continue Reading →
There’s one word I’ve used quite a lot lately and that’s: Hopeless. A feeling that’s often considered a negative emotion that should be driven out by rainbows, unicorns, and reckless optimism. It’s seen as something that needs to be cured with haste lest it run wild. Left untreated it becomes a cancerous growth that destroys... Continue Reading →
“When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'.” ― Groucho Marx It was a bad idea. A horrible idea. Nothing good was going to come from this idea. I knew it. I said... Continue Reading →
(Fair warning: This post will be all over the place because my mind is experiencing zero G’s and I don’t have much control over it.) I've sat down to write this post a half dozen times over the last three days but every word I type feels disingenuous. They aren’t wrong and the topics really... Continue Reading →

Someone asks me how I’m doing, and I say, “I’m fine.” It’s a normal response to a typical question. Nothing fancy or verbose. It’s not an epic soliloquy. We aren’t meticulously detailing every second of a day that’s been pretty basic. Not a great day but not a bad one either. It was just, you... Continue Reading →
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.” ― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling overwhelmed right now. There’s one topic on everyone's mind and on everyone’s lips. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest…I didn’t know there were that many ways to decorate... Continue Reading →
I’m an introvert with moderate, sometimes severe, social anxiety. The idea of social isolation is as intriguing and alluring as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Stay away from people? Don’t go to social gatherings? Stay home, behind closed doors, and not see another human being for at least two weeks?... Continue Reading →
“You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” – Winnie the Pooh Oh to be a three years old again! Sitting in a small theatre, watching a life-size Winnie the Pooh and Friends dance across a stage. It was the first musical theatre show I ever saw and I... Continue Reading →
Someone asked me this question: “After everything you’ve been through, do you still believe in God?” Whew, that's a loaded topic. Kinda top heavy. I'm not sure how to answer you but I'll try my best. Forgive me if I stutter and stumble. Deep breath. Here we go. I believe in a greater power, and... Continue Reading →
