Heaven on Earth
Movie Night Tonight has been an amazing one with my daughter. She asked if we could watch a movie and snuggle-how could I say no to that. I put down my work, turned the movie on and cuddled under many blankets on the couch. Skylar picked out the movie, she’d actually watched it before apparently…
Wings of Faith
On the Wings of Faith Tears of pain drip down my face They are supposed to be cleansing But all i feel is pain The pain of loss Of an empty room Of empty drawers Of pictures on the wall With no person to show for it The little voice that used to squeal Run…
To Chicken To Admit…A Tribute To My Daughter, Skylar on her Birthday.
To Chicken To Admit As I sit here tonight, only hours away from my daughters 7th birthday I have been recapitulating her life and the role she’s played in my life since the moment of my knowledge she was conceived. As I have shared with many of you before, 8 years ago I was pretty…
Emotional Basket Case
Emotional Basket Case This weekend was fantastic. It was a weekend filled with wonderful company, great movie time and birthday celebrations for my daughter. I woke up this morning and felt fine but by the time the afternoon rolled around I felt flooded with emotions that seems uncontrollable. I used to fight this sort of…
From Meaningless to Purpose Filled

It’s Time To Let It All Hang Out
There Are No Secrets When Wounds Have Healed So I’ve hesitated writing this or publicly sharing such an intimate story that’s really help change the course of my life and also shed light on life like never before. But then I was reminded of the Persian poet Rumi when he writes about the ‘Open Secret’…
The Invitation
Monkey Angels? The other day Kim shared with me a book that she picked up off her book shelf. It was a book that had been there for some time yet had never read it before. I recognized the cover she was explaining to me and knew that I owned the book, just couldn’t put…
Breaking Open
My Heart is Breaking Open To walk by a flower and not think that it is apart of us is naive. To think the air you breathe hasn’t passed through your “enemy” and best friends without hesitation is absurd. To look at a rainbow and think it came from nothing is insane. To think that…
Winds of Change
In the Midst of a Hurricane To say today that life isn’t a roller coaster would be a lie. Today I must say that the winds of change are blowing hard and fast like a category 5 hurricane in my life. Fear is what holds most of us back from change, it creates disease, panic…
