BEDTIME STORIES

I think the most compelling scenes of any movie create a longing for redemption.  Someone has to gain insight that they captured through the witness of belief in another.  I like to wonder about the directors and the cast of each movie, often watching the out-takes or extra footage.  It has become a game between …

What will self-criticism make you?

I have struggled with critical self-talk just as much as the next guy, but I was only familiar with how it sounded to me.  My harsh treatment towards myself was all I ever knew, it was my norm to berate my decisions and assume the sky was falling in every circumstance I couldn't control.  It …

The Stolen Money Order

I've been ripped off numerous times because someone has made a selfish or negative choice against me.  I used to question why I wasn't protected or worse yet, I would assume everything that came down the pike was Daddy's will.  I have abandoned the cliches that make Daddy responsible for the good, the bad and …
