Let there be light
I should warn you, that I am going to try to explain some principles of physics in this post. The warning is mostly for those of you who understand physics, because this is going to be a little more like “Physics For Dummies.” Maybe an apology would be more appropriate for what’s to follow. HereContinue reading “Let there be light”

“Keep coming back”
Over the years, I have heard from several people who attend recovery groups that a common refrain at their meetings is “keep coming back.” It’s often said after a newcomer shares a bit of their story and even more often, after anyone at all expresses their exasperation, frustration or despair about their ability to successfullyContinue reading ““Keep coming back””

Watch YourSelf(ie)
I recently purchased a new piece of jewelry. It’s so cool! It wraps around my wrist, looks pretty cute and does the most amazing thing: it tells me what time it is. And that’s all it tells me. It doesn’t tell me when someone calls, that someone needs to see a house, what the weatherContinue reading “Watch YourSelf(ie)”

“That’s all I have to say about that.”
I have been wearing a pretty deep rut in my mind for the past couple weeks. It came to a head this week and I found myself unable to relax at all. My spirit was wound up and fearful, causing me to feel frozen. Paralyzed. Have you ever felt immobilized over your lack of controlContinue reading ““That’s all I have to say about that.””

Fragmented
I may have mentioned this a few hundred times in previous blogs, but occasionally I get sidetracked and start writing for the wrong reasons. I start writing because I feel like I should or “have to” so people keep reading, I don’t lose traction or risk being forgotten as a writer altogether. I sometimes writeContinue reading “Fragmented”

Disintegration
Life has been pretty chaotic for me the past few months. Some of the chaos was bad—like my son getting hit by a car and all that goes with that. Some of the chaos has been good—like Blake’s mom being here for a week and my mom here for a week shortly after that. ForContinue reading “Disintegration”
