Wicked Lessons
Good lesson yesterday about adjusting, backing off, letting be, trusting. Letting go of the immediate, the angst. She taught me that yesterday. A lesson I hope will help us both in the future, especially as she transitions through adolescence to adulthood. I’ll be ready to listen; I’ll be ready to hold her, support her. And …
Wicked Dad
I remember when I was a kid, sometimes we used the word "wicked" to mean "cool", etc. I'd like to think I'm a "wicked dad" in that context....but just now, feeling pretty far from it. Weird day, best intentions sideways, some practical tasks completed, but big picture, I'm feeling wicked in the old-fashioned sense of …
Overgrown, GOOD
That’s it. That’s the post. Let it grow. Nature. Let it grow. Natural.
“I’m Vaccinated”
Not sure who scribbled this one together, but it’s gone viral, and more important, it’s GOOD. “I'm vaccinated and, no, I don't know what's in it - neither this vaccine, the ones I had as a child, nor in the Big Mac, or in hot dogs, or in other treatments…whether it's for cancer, AIDS, the …

Anxiety is part of it. Sure it can be overwhelming, crippling, devastating, even deadly...but then again, it's just part of life too. I don't experience it in a …
Anxiety: Shape Shifter
It ebbs and flows, anxiety. It’s a fluid, dynamic thing. Sometimes it washes over; other times it laps laps laps gently on the shore. It can turn violent in an instant, that’s my experience. Anxiety is a shape shifter; it comes in the darkness, finding its way to your demise. How can it optimize it’s …
Anxiety: Constant Reminder
Anxiety is a constant reminder. At 3:00am it pops up. Thoughts churn. What is simmering on my mental back-burner? Those things are in the slow-cooker of my anxiety. It’s a revolving menu. Let them cook.
Anxiety: My Superpower
I’ve lived with it most all of my life; anxiety since I was maybe 8 or 9. Everyday. I thought I’d grow out of it; i prayed I’d grow out of it. Not the case. And with more responsibilities and set-backs over the years, the anxiety becomes a more engrained part of my existence. Lately …
