Sharing my journey of hope.
Your darkest hour Well here's another topic that I just can't decide which one of my "too many to count" dark hours would be the darkest. I can tell you that these are the hours that shaped me, grew me and changed me. These are the hours that gave me my greatest challenges and where... Continue Reading →
The angriest letter you never sent I have only written two angry letters in my life that I can recall. One was written just a few years ago on this blog. Technically, it was "never sent" but it was posted as an Open Letter to a Puke. I don't know that this person ever saw it... Continue Reading →

I had a bit of a rough time yesterday evening. I had a conversation with a dear friend that left me angry and hurt. Not with my friend but with the gossip and lies that were being told about me and the lack of integrity a past client of has shown. (I will write about... Continue Reading →
I was doing some reading about boundaries and personal rights and it made me think of a castle. My life is now a castle in all its glory and splendor. You're probably thinking, "how in the heck did you get from boundaries and rights, to your life is a castle?" Let me explain, as I... Continue Reading →
On Monday I received an instant message on Facebook from my younger half-sister saying she would like to see me and have coffee or lunch the following day.
