The early part of this year was extremely brutal, with many losses, changes, bad news, and for many months it seemed like it would never end. Today, I can finally write a story of hope and courage. For some, it is a miracle. For others, a tragedy. But in the end, it is a story … Continue reading In a Year of Turmoil, A Story of Hope
Consideration….
Tonight, I'm sitting here, and I've had several possible options run through my head (as always) for what to write. And I have only one overriding thought that it staying in my head. My ego wants to write another angry blog about drama, but that's not going to help anyone. And while I am angry … Continue reading Consideration….
Truth and Freedom
So I'm talking with my step-son the other night about movies, and what some of my favorites are. Movies like: Redbelt, V for Vendetta, Ironclad, City of Ember, Up, Wall-E, Avatar, Star Wars to name a few. Now that might seem like an unusual mix of movies, but there is a theme to what I … Continue reading Truth and Freedom
Deep Traumatic Response
I'm just home from work, winding down, and thinking about what I could write about, and amid all of the fluff stories and sensationalism I found a gem. It's not a ground-breaking story with some major revelation, it doesn't have to be. The subject is a tough-enough one to deal with anyway. Be aware, before … Continue reading Deep Traumatic Response
Getting Knocked Around
So I know it's been several days since I've posted anything, and while I have a few minutes, I wanted to come in with an update. As you know, about 6 months ago, I changed jobs. I love my new job. I love seeing my customers, like my co-workers, enjoy the paperwork, and don't mind … Continue reading Getting Knocked Around
History Is Written By The…
The temperature in the desert is up again, and so is the humidity. We've made some recent changes to our routine, adding in regular yoga and more meditation exercises, and I'm seeking to make other changes to remove some areas of negativity that have gotten unreasonable. Making these changes, has given me time to think, … Continue reading History Is Written By The…
Pay to What???
So as many of you know, music in our home isn't just something that we play, it's a big part of what we do. Music is life in our home, and there is always at least one project happening, and often more than one. I've been to more shows than I can count where, if … Continue reading Pay to What???
Getting Real
Today, I need to get personal, and I need to get real. I could ask the question, "What does it take to become a minister?", or make a comment regarding hypocrisy, and how most people (including myself), will make complaints about what other people are doing, but refuse to see it in themselves. Today, I'm … Continue reading Getting Real
The Little Conveniences
Once again, while I'm making plans for how to be creative, and thinking of blogs to write, Spirit intervenes and says, "Here, deal with this!", and provides the one thing you never want to have happen in the middle of an Arizona summer: the air conditioning quit, and I was left in the heat for … Continue reading The Little Conveniences
Spending Time Alone
For most of my life, I hated being alone. I hated the fear of what was going to return, I hated the fear of not having done enough, or done something wrong. The uncomfortability of being part of a dysfunctional home was preferable to the fear of not knowing. Plus, having someone else in the … Continue reading Spending Time Alone
