Lessons of Growth through Failure The fortitude of being brave begins next level for 2026. It is speaking out in truth regarding many painful layers. With years of secrets, emotional trauma has taken its toll on my health and well being. Two years ago, with an amazing trauma therapist, I made the decision to stop the cycle.

Thank You, Uncle Kenny.

One humane subtle act can make a lifetime difference for another. Reflectionistic memories bring me to one in the passing of a music teacher of my youth. His name is Ken Noreen. Not only a teacher, Mr. Noreen was a parabolist. We called him Uncle Kenny, but not to his face. We also had a high respect for him that only showed while at attention as his baton rose....

I blend within the sadness of those who lost a friend, loved one, family member, or child. It is horrible and an overwhelming wave of grief that has swept over the nation for you....

What is this visceral disdain? Is it the feeling of freedom? Getty/BBC I’ve had this feeling before. It took me awhile to process what it was. That is normal for me; a survivor who has learned to identify emotions. The arena of the world currently is like a bad dream. I am stuck in a place I don’t want to be....

New post!
