For the past 3 or 4 months I’ve been living with a faulty smoke detector. It was been beeping non-stop, day and night.
I’ve been getting out of bed 5 or 6 times a night to push the little button to reset it. It lasted a couple hours at first, then the time between beeps decreased, [...]

Washing out the Red
Why is red associated with so many negative things? People “see red” when they’re angry, we’re “in the red” when we’re in debt. It’s fire, it’s danger, it’s a stop sign. Red.
See, I’m more of a blue/green person, but I’ve been seeing a whole lot of red these days. And I don’t really like it. [...]

Love is Impatient
I have endless questions about love. But right now, I’m wondering … is love about having faith or is it about letting go?
Ok, a little vague, I know. But it’s hard to describe. If any one of my three sisters would actually pick up their phone, I’d be talking this out instead… but alas, everyone [...]

The Evolution of The Grumpasaurus
It’s not just legend folks, the great grumpasaurus does indeed exist. I see them everyday. You probably do too. They’re not as rare as I once thought, and when I come across them, I’m really unsure how to handle these creatures.
You know them by their negative attitudes, their complaining, their endless frustration at life. The [...]

Before I was me
I remember being a baby, not having words or full control of my limbs. I remember laying in my crib, seeing the colors and furry creatures surrounding me, trying to focus on what was beyond the bars.
I remember I had the same voice in my head then as I do now. And I remember remembering [...]

The Great Awakening
I wasn’t always aware of my role in my own life. I always thought life just happened to me, and so I reacted to it. I didn’t know I had the power to choose differently, I didn’t know changing my mind was the most powerful tool I’d ever be given.
When I was about 19, I [...]

You got it?
We’ve all had conversations where the person talking says, “You get what I’m talking about?” or “Do you understand what I’m saying?” … and we’ve all nodded and said “oh, yeah”, even though we had absolutely no clue.
We say yes because we don’t really care to understand and want to change the subject, or it [...]

The Beating, Chapter 1
I am only human afterall. For as much strength as I have, I am just as weak.
I tend to bear the burdens of others better than my own. I am the listener, the mender, the inspirer. I mend the broken bits and make them whole again. I’m quite skilled at doing this for others, not [...]

The Tenacious Creator
I am the creator of my universe. I have a totally unique perception of this world, and with my meager tools, I make my way through.
I’m thinking about the manifestation of dreams. Making real the thoughts I have.
I’ve been told, “Thoughts are things, choose good ones.” And so I try to do just that. I [...]

The Forgiveness Process
The manifestation of peace can only be attained by forgiveness. (me)
It is a harrowing and sometimes painful process, but it is essential if we are to move forward, in any significant way.
I didn’t really understand it when I was first presented with the idea of forgiveness. I thought I had pretty much let go so [...]
