I always felt that love was such a unique experience that it could or would only happen once in my lifetime. I have many theories as to where this feeling came from but that is for another time and another place. Those of us with crippling self-doubt never thought that love would be something that...

Riding the Wave,
There is no question that I have lived with depression the vast majority of my life. I find it hard to believe that most haven’t experienced this feeling whether they want to admit it or not, I just don’t see how it is avoidable. There were many moments where I have let it take me...

Forgiveness.
What is a forgivable act? What is not? Why do people show up in court to forgive someone who has just murdered a member of their family, while someone in the next courtroom tears into the defendant wishing them nothing but the worst for the time left they have on this Earth.

Running with a bomb…..
She held a bomb in her hands, one planned for me. The kind from the cartoons that is round and black and literally has the word "Bomb" written on the sides in white lettering. She pulled out a strike anywhere match and stared at the red tip. The historically gentle woman knew that this bomb... Continue Reading →
One second, I seem to have misplaced my ID……
There are so many identities that we have to have throughout our lifetimes. The labels of Son/Daughter, Brother/Sister, Mother/ Father, and Husband/ Wife can often become how we describe ourselves to others. Regularly we can lose one label to take on a new one. A son that now becomes a father may identify more as... Continue Reading →
