In a recent post, I lamented the fact that so many people had misunderstood me at the height of my illness. I overlooked the fact that the pain these people caused led me to seek answers, which improved my research skills and helped me realize I could use my writing skills to share what I learned with others.

I’m reading a book to review right now, and I don’t know how I’m going to get through it. The writer is so honest, and I can relate to her struggles so well. I had to put the book down in the middle of the first chapter and just breath.

My alma matter looks like a war zone. A tornado literally skipped over my apartment complex last week, and it caused at least $40 million in damage to Union University.Houses on neighboring streets are missing roofs.

It’s easy to believe there is no hope when an answer could be just around the corner. It’s also easy to believe change will come when it’s time to accept the inevitable. Knowing the difference is a matter of faith.

I’ve never enjoyed entertaining at home. When visitors come, I feel like an animal in the zoo facing observation for a scientific study. The inhabitants of this apartment go into extreme cleaning mode as the observation date approaches. Read more

Sometimes I forget why I don’t have a job. I’m building a business because I love what I do and because my family and I have special needs that a job can’t easily satisfy. But job mentality and self-imposed deadlines still control my personality at times, and the events of last week reminded me to get my priorities straight. Read more
