And we’re off! I’ll be in Boston all weekend, and Monday for an extended weekend. It’ll be a nice little break from the monotony that has become everyday work life. Hopefully I can come back Tuesday and feel somewhat refreshed, and have killed the road trip crave for a little while anyway!
Pin I’m in the middle of some much needed vacation time this week. Part of the vacation will be spent in Las Vegas, a typical vacation destination, but the first part has been in a somewhat non-typical vacation destination, Columbus, Ohio. Of course, Columbus is the area I lived in for over 20 years, and where…
I’ve had some incomplete thoughts about my family ever since my grandmother was in town this past weekend. She’s the last living grandparent I have, and she delivered a batch of old pictures to my mother when she came up for the visit, which were also interesting to see. (I’m planning on “borrowing” them from…
Pin Regardless of how you spend this coming holiday, I wish you peace, hope, and happiness. Remember, no matter what is going on in your life this holiday season, you are not alone. Healing is possible for all survivors, and all people dealing with mental health issues. This holiday may not find you where you want…
This weekend is my wife and my’s sixth anniversary. As it approaches I’ve been thinking quite a bit about marriage and priorities. I’ve been thinking about the fact that I feel somewhat out of touch with my wife right now. Part of that is because we’ve both been dealing with a lot of things. Her…

Pin We need each other now, as always. We need our community. We need our connections. We need to know that we are not alone in this. So, let me, in the midst of my own exhaustion, do this one thing. If you’re feeling hopeless, angry, anxious, depressed, etc. because of the state of the world, or the state of your job, the losses you’ve suffered, the issues you are fighting for, the struggle to hang on to hope, you are not alone. I am with you. I see you. I share your exhaustion, frustration, anger, and your need for rest. Whether we’ve talked about this personally, or if you’re simply holding this all in and trying to keep it together, I see you. I’m with you. We are together in this, and we should share the little bits of hope with each other. They may be hard to see, but the more of us who are dedicated to looking for them, and sharing them, the more of it we’ll draw strength from.
