I was born in 1955. Way back then there were basically 3 types of “kids”: just the regular let’s play hide-an-seek, build a fort, throw rocks, ride bikes, ring doorbells and run, make random calls and ask if “Ben Dover” was home (caller ID ruined that), get muddy, mercurochromed bloody knees and elbows, beContinue reading “Autism, Addiction and Me”

When You Change The Way You Look At Things….
Freedom from addiction is not, and has never been one size fits all. Today more resources and paths of treatment and recovery are available than ever before yet decades of bitter experience has clearly demonstrated though that whether it is classic 12 Step recovery, CBT, DBT, EMDR, Smart Recovery, Celebrate Recovery, etc. without engagement inContinue reading “When You Change The Way You Look At Things….”

Spiritual Facelifts
Spiritual Facelifts Write this large upon your heart: What we concentrate on manifests in our lives, mentally and physically.

Hard Selling God
Hard Selling God Some time ago I had a conversation (a berating more accurately) with an adamant “my way or the highway” Christian.

Conversely there are the times whenContinue reading “Freedom In Spirit”

Today’s Headline (again): WE ARE DOOMED! I comment on this Emmet Fox teaching a couple times every year, for it is always applicable in my life, the teaching timeless. I began following politics in 1968 and came of age politically during the election of 1972. Since then one truth has become abundantly clear: regardless ofContinue reading “Today’s Headline (again): WE ARE DOOMED!”
Vintage D.T.Y.T.S.
Vintage D.T.Y.T.S. A while back an individual posted online that I needed medical help, based solely on my blog picture viewed on their mobile device. Pretty insightful. So, I immediately headed to the ER for help. The staff was waiting for me (since the government now reads all posts and follows everyone with drones) andContinue reading “Vintage D.T.Y.T.S.”

Today’s Gift and The Presence When we find ourselves drifting out of the present moment, dwelling either in the past or projecting into the future, we open the door to morbid reflection. When thinking about the past what usually surfaces? Is it the overwhelming number of times when things went well, when we did theContinue reading “Today’s Gift and The Presence”
