So…I was mowing the lawn today when fluff went “Floof!” When I looked down I saw a little baby bunny, on its back behind me…stretching. Upon closer inspection, I located a total of seven bunnies, nestled in a hole in the middle of our yard. A video posted by Angela B. Chrysler (@abchrysler) on Jul […]
Agnosticism
I love religion 🙂 More specifically, I love the philosophical branch of theology and studied the history of, psychology of, growth, and development of religion. I am a Weak Agnostic borderline Atheist. From Wikipedia Agnosticism has sometimes been divided into two categories in academic and philosophical treatment: Strong agnosticism (also called “hard”, “closed”, “strict”, or […]
Confronting the Past
I am a mother of three and a philosopher. I’ve been married twice. I am a weak agnostic/atheist. I’ve dedicated most of my life to defining why we are here, if there is a god, and studied topics such as the history of philosophy, religion, psychology, and anthropology. I’ve spent years examining early civilization and […]
Broken: Preface
I wrote Broken for me, but published it for you for a number of reasons. First, psychological speaking, this is all very cool. Second, my children have suffered from my conditions and my only goal is to help them and undo the damage I have caused. This ties into my third reason: I hope others […]
Another Sea
I dreamed last night. It wasn’t a nightmare, but… The feeling it evoked is still with me. Like I laid down in a garden with him and there was peace. And I loved him, pure and simple. I loved him so completely in that moment and then forever. I was camping with my family. My […]

Looking back to “Broken”
These are a series of emails exchanged with an ARC reader. As Broken is being launched, the therapy doesn’t pause. I want to show you a few things with these emails. First, this is what it looks like to be a writer. Second, this is the internal struggle I am dealing with even now. […]
ARC praises sung for “Broken”
This is what Joshua Robertson has said about “Broken” Broken is worthy of a reward. Chrysler has an uncanny ability to capture what most people have no concept of understanding. This is the type of literature that social workers and psychologists are forced to read during their internships to give them some understanding of what […]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? I’m dying inside? There’s war outside. Can you hear me? All around me are horizons. Everywhere I look, horizons. And I wonder, what’s beyond those hills? I dream of what my life could be. I dream of what my life should be. I dream of worlds beyond me. All around me […]
