In my line of work I talk to a lot of people and the conversation always turns at least a little bit personal, sometimes very personal. It’s not the line of work where one would expect that to happen regularly, but it does. Maybe that’s because I am an empath. People tend to naturally open…

Bandaids = Love
Like most, I remember specific moments from my childhood. It’s strange, how certain selective moments got stuck in my memory. I guess it’s just what seemed to matter most to me at that particular time. I remember being at a friend’s house once when she got a small cut on her knee. When we went…
The Root of Intentions
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…

Going Spelunking
When I was younger I was fascinated by caves. I read mysteries about them, visited a few, including Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and even did a school report and presentation on them. They are quite amazing, aren’t they? One Christmas I put a spelunking helmet on my wish list. I didn’t get it. Ce…
The Origin of Children
Luckily, I don’t think my children ever asked me point blank “where do babies come from?”. If they had I don’t know what I would have said, but it might have been something like, “Well, you see babies, uh… well when mommies and daddies, uh… oh look, there’s Dairy Queen, want an ice cream?” Fortunately,…
I’ve Been Gened
Eight months ago I was riddled with fear about whether or not I was doing the right thing. I was on the verge of challenging everything I’d been aggressively taught to believe. Not only that, but I was stepping into a realm my mother would call evil. My mother’s teachings were continuous, rigid, and very…
