Once again, it's been a long time since I posted a blog. And this is one that I started a couple weeks ago. Under the circumstances with everything that's happened so far, I think it's time that I finish it. My exposure to writing and books came almost as soon as I was born. … Continue reading Learning To Live Your Dreams

When It’s Time For Change….
Wow! So many things have happened since the last time I got something posted here. Part of me wants to feel bad for not having gotten anything added to the site as far as a blog, but we have been so busy here, and so much has happened, I'm having a hard time keeping up. … Continue reading When It’s Time For Change….
The Concept Of Everything
I write about a variety of subjects, often seemingly unrelated. My experience, and the experience of all of us if we choose to look at it, shows that this is not the case. In fact, everything is related. I love to read. Shakespeare, History, sociology, philosophy, religion, Spirituality, non-fiction, horror, romance, fairy tales, classics... there … Continue reading The Concept Of Everything
Depression Can Be A Bitch
Something I have fought all my life is depression. If you look back at some of my other posts, sometimes it becomes obvious that I have it. When I was around 20 years old, I was diagnosed with what is called "Cyclothymia". An easier way to know what that is - A-typical bi-polarity (more extreme … Continue reading Depression Can Be A Bitch
When Old Ideas Get In The Way

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
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
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
Living Up to Expectations
For most of my life I tried to live up to other people's expectations: family, friends, teachers, etc. Most of the expectations I was expected to live up to were also directly conflictory with other things I was being told. For example, "you can be anything you want to be, but you can't do ... ". … Continue reading Living Up to Expectations
The Power Of…
When I was a child, I used to tell my mother, "When I grow up, I am going to have...)", and I would list off all of the things I wanted for my life. In true fashion for her, my mother would find ways to denigrate every thing I said, and tell me why I … Continue reading The Power Of…
