  • Stuck in Crisis: Excerpt 5

    I felt broken. I felt threatened. Things I’d buried stirred from within my own darkened depths. I tried to silence them with food. I ate too much too often and made myself sick. I tried to regain access to my diabetic medications, but my requests were denied. I thought my doctors knew something about my…

  • Cozy Inn

    My wife and I just finished a date at the second oldest continuously running Chinese restaurant in the United States which just happens to be a few blocks away. They’ve gotten a lot of good press lately for their 100 year anniversary and the grant to restore their neon sign. If you come make sure…

  • Neighborhood Convenience Store

    My wife wanted creamer for her coffee. I wanted a Vanilla Coke. My youngest son is feeling better after being sick for weeks and was up for a walk and some treats. So we walked to the convenience store. He got treats. I got treats. My wife got a treat. Sadly they do not have…

  • Stuck in Crisis: Excerpt 4

    Slowly, under the influence of Heavenly Mother, something in my perspective shifted. Up until that point, my focus on self-care was just a means to an end. I had to get better in order to be the mother my children needed. As I fought to live and to regain what little strength I’d had left…

    When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why? When I was still trying to get my Associates Degree I spent a lot of time in the college library. One of the books I found fascinating was a list of the author’s choices of the most influential…

  • Good Night’s Sleep

    It has been a rough couple of weeks. Because of my psych meds I sleep hard, but I still wake up tired most of the time. My wife has a theory that even if I sleep for ten hours it is not a good sleep so isn’t satisfying. She might be correct. At any rate…

  • Changing Times

    What makes a good neighbor? When I was a kid I heard stories about the “Welcome Wagon.” The idea was that when a new family moved onto the block that everyone else there would come to let them know they were welcome. In this mythical past the old residents would bring a casserole so Mom…

  • Technical Issues

    My middle son was having technical issues with his computer. It is a hand-me-down from me and he never took the time to remove all of the programs on it from when it was mine. He also didn’t want to go through the hassle of setting up an administrative login, so he just uses mine.…
