Thank You for Showing Up

Yesterday I asked my therapist a question: “How are you doing… really?” I started seeing a therapist about two years ago. At the time, it was about a mental health tuneup. It later turned into a lifeline when facing unexpected situations like: “You have cancer” and “You may never sing…

So This Crazy Thing Happened: I Got Cancer!

I usually do my annual round of doctor visits in the fall. As kids go back to school and the air gets crisp, I head to the land of needles and scales. It was at my annual gynecological exam the good doctor said: “You don’t usually get to feel one…

God, We Need to Talk

A break-up/make-up story — For a long time, God and I got along just fine. I stopped by and visited on the holidays. I sent up the occasional good word. I made the occasional ask. God would then do what God did. He granted the occasional favor. He occasionally wiped a loved one out…
