  • What did you say?

    Unknown to a lot of parents is the dreaded day of I hate you! Said in a venomous voice from a being that you created. Being an active parent, and this means boots on the ground when your child is losing their shit due to puberty, hormones, and bullies at school. You have to be Read more

  • I wanted to wait and write about the “new year” because like so many we have made the idea of a new year a vast doorway to a new you. Then about 20 some odd days into January the ideas are worn out and old habits picked back up. Then it’s just another year, same Read more

  • What’s the point!

    I’m not sure what the point is anymore. I’ve been writing and writing and just like teaching if no one is getting it, why continue? I see pain, I have gone through pain, the entire country is going through pain and yet everyone seems stuck in their own limited mind-set. It doesn’t matter what you Read more

    I am tired of fatherless children. I am tired of men who have children and then cannot be bothered to finish the job. Sex feels good parenthood, not so much. What is that? Yes I know sometimes it’s women falling down on the job. I know one of these types as well! I am tired Read more

  • Difficult days

    There is never going to be an early warning sign that big trouble is afoot. It will blindside you with its horror leaving you reeling with bruises all over your heart and soul. It is, I am sorry to say, a part of our growth and the forward push for a person on a spiritual Read more

  • Your word is you!

    There is a little known fact about us humans moving through life, every thought, word and deed is recorded. There is a mechanism within us that does the recording and after we pass we will review this recording or book of our life. You will see and re-expereince every little thing that has happened to Read more

  • My son is bipolar, tough words to write because of the looming negative stereo type of responses I have received over the years. He is not only bipolar he also suffers from PTSD, which makes all things worse. Before he was diagnosed life was a nightmare of “why are you acting this way?” He would Read more
