October 23, 2017 by

    I believe everything works out in the end. If things aren’t worked out, then I know it’s not the end. Simple stuff, right?   The stories about endings that leave so many loose strings untied? Don’t believe them. That’s not how the end works. I’m convinced we’re wired to let it go at […]

September 14, 2017 by

    I’m not the first to feel left out and ignored by people who demand respect. Nor the first to be banished for demanding it back.   One man’s sibling spoke in a way that lacked respect. The message given back was, “Don’t talk to me unless you talk with the respect I demand.” […]

Life Plan? What To Do When Life Moves On

September 12, 2017 by
