My mother had great intentions. She was on a life long mission to convert everyone she encountered to Christianity. But, her approach was too demanding and rigid. It is very sad to say that I honestly believe she did more harm than good. She interpreted the Bible very literally and if she could not make…

Anxiety and Depression
If it was possible, I would wave a magic wand so that no one would ever experience any kind of anxiety and depression. Well, I would have last year. This year, not so much. Over the past year I have learned that one person cannot save another from their life lessons. One can, however, help…
Beautifully Imperfect
If you’ve read or seen Harry Potter, then you’ll remember the beginning scenes where Harry is treated quite badly by his relatives. The adults in the family are neglectful and abusive towards him. Their attitude influences how their son acts towards Harry, as well. Luckily for him, though, Harry doesn’t seem to be as low…

They are quite amazing, aren’t they? One Christmas I put a spelunking helmet on my wish list. I didn’t get it. Ce…

Not only that, but I was stepping into a realm my mother would call evil. My mother’s teachings were continuous, rigid, and very…
In the Beginning…
It is December 1. Upon waking this morning, I could taste the inspiration to write like flowing maple syrup on warm french toast. Then, as I fluttered my eyes open, it was as if the vision had been resting on my eyelashes like glitter, patiently waiting for me to wake and see it. I’m not sure…
