More than a year ago, I received an email from a family member with the subject line: “Cutting the ties that bind.” I hadn’t spoken to this person in more than a year at that point, so I recognized the cutting intentions behind the subject line.

I’ve been walking through a sleep world. In this sleep world, my dreams have become my daily reality. My reality is specific to me. It is not like yours. If you could step inside of my reality and see what I see and feel what I feel, you would think it is insane. You would…

I’ve been absent from the blog lately which has simply been a result of life. Although I have not been expressing through this blog, rest assured that I have been “in it.” Life’s lessons keep arriving, with daunting consistency, and I keep stepping up to them with varying levels of confidence.

In keeping with the pandora’s box I began to crack in my last post, I have decided to share a bit more about some of my childhood experiences. For example, it’s not many who can claim, at the tender age of 20, that they were already a retired street evangelist. Many years ago, in an…
