I had a dream that my children would grow with racism only being something they read about in text books. I had a dream that my children would never see hate like our fathers and our fathers fathers had seen. I lost that dream this last week. I recently learned that my brother too had […]

Hate only Hate
Only hate has earned hate. Learn to hate only hate. I’m trying to work this morning and I just can’t focus. I’m crying with sadness, just pure sadness at the hate that has swept the country. I thought it hadn’t touched me here in New York. Not the City. The mountains where we have a […]
Zombies From Space…and Vampires Part #13
The darkness broke the haze of sleep cleared as Aria woke. She breathed deep the air, recognizing the sweet warmth of rose scented candles. She stretched and opened her eyes to the soft orange of candle light. Her ribs felt tight and compact like a giant vice had been slipped around her waist, back, and […]
The Journey of Doctor Who
There always seems to be one question in every Whovian’s mind: Should I go back to the beginning? What did I miss? Do I really need to watch anything prior to the 9th Doctor? Many wish they could just ask a viewer who did go back…who knows. I’ve spoken to Americans and a number of […]

“Where are they going?” Norry asked. “Where indeed,” Angela said staring at the horde turning South. “What are we going to do?” Aria asked. “There’s no way we can get around this.” “It looks like a tomato,” Mad Matt said in a low voice. All eyes turned to Matt. He looked sane now more than […]
Happiness: Rest
In pauses, we rest, we clear our minds, we think and slow down. Only when we slow down can we start to see, smell, hear, and experience everything we’ve been missing. This, dearest reader, this is where happiness awaits. It is in the silence. It is in the calm. It is in the moment that […]
Happiness: Finding Direction
With my new life, my new growth, my new me I was able to embrace the world around me. I think back often to the day I stepped out of the other worlds that were in my head. I felt I had awakened. I had. I left my room and noticed my children had all […]
Happiness: Mental Cleansing
If ever there was a day that I felt changed, it was the day I walked into therapy and smiled. Just smiled. I had nothing new to talk about. Nothing new to report. I talked about my new life. My new me. So many possibilities were opened up. I wondered often, “I’m through the dark […]
