Rock Hammer To the Stone

December 30, 2024.Reading time 3 minutes.

Whenever you feel like curling up in the fetal position, and no matter how challenging or hard things may get, keep chipping away. And as you wield your own rock hammer, inhale/exhale the chorus as a mantra for you, and me, and our broken world.

The Guilt that We Survive

August 21, 2019.Reading time 2 minutes.

Survivor’s Guilt. Imposter Syndrome. Two words for relatively similar experiences that, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized many people have. Including me. The older you get, you start to look right and left, and sometimes you see folks who used to be standing beside you…aren’t. Somehow, you’ve “made it through” some life-trial, or tragedy. Somehow, […]
