May We Be WellSometimes I count. Sometimes I listen to podcasts designed to take me into sleep like a dutiful parent reading to their restless, just-one-more-glass-of-water child. It’s an odd contradiction that I resist sleep so relentlessly because I genuinely enjoy sleeping and have also always been reluctant to come to wakefulness.

I needed three things.And there he was. A professional associate from a town twenty miles away. Of course, I exclaimed, “Kevin!” with justifiable enthusiasm.He smiled and said, “Em! It’s Jeff.” My embarrassment prompted him to say, “It happens to me a lot. Don’t worry.” And I didn’t. Because that is the kind of human h

When someone gives a timely book…they are giving so much more than bound papers. They are giving you a door to a new room, sometimes a new world. She’s the one who gave me the book ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS. What I thought was an isolated condition I learned was common to humans across the globe. Then, when she asked me to do a particular task and I told her I didn’t know how to do it…she told me I’d been “doing it” for months, I just didn’t recognize it. That’s when she gave me the ever-time
