Greetings and salutations! I had another good session today. It's amazing how a different perspective can provide so much clarity and insight into what's going wrong and what's going right. I post these so that what I learn is fresh in my mind and I can refer back to them. So with that being the... Continue Reading →
Games We Play
Greetings and salutations! I was just thinking about love, and life, and relationships, etc....and I find it sad and a little bit disappointing that games are such a huge part of things, instead of honesty. It's this choreographed sequence of movements, all designed to mask how we truly may feel about each other, so that... Continue Reading →
To Be Or Not To Be…*trauma warning: suicide*
To be, or not to be, that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troublesAnd by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,No more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heart-ache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is... Continue Reading →
Andre and Ken: A love story (an excerpt)
NB. ALL "Andre and Ken" blog entries have been made public!!! And after a year of knowing Ken, being friends with him, hearing his hopes and fears, and listening to Ken's travails in life, I realized that Ken and I had something more than friendship, and less than being lovers. I wanted that to change.... Continue Reading →
Resiliency aka Being Tough

Per Dictionary.com..." the ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like...." It sounds like a good thing to have, both in the physical and mental spheres of one's life.... Continue Reading →

It can prevent us from making fools of ourselves. If the fear is reasonable, and justified, then that's not too bad.... Continue Reading →
The fault is mine…
Hello, hello!!! I think that introspection is a good thing as long as it doesn't lead to paralysis or too much moping. I like to think that I can be honest with myself and account for the things that I've done right, as well as the things I've done wrong. It's hard. It's easy to... Continue Reading →
Lessons from the couch
So I went to see a professional to deal with the emotional turmoil that I've been going through, and to get some clarity about the stuff I've been going through. I learned that it's ok to have needs and to get them filled and not to feel guilty about that. In my own way I... Continue Reading →

Believe it…or not!
Question. Do you believe in psychics? Fortune tellers? People who can predict the future? As much as I'd like to give a clear cut answer, I'm going to firmly answer "NO, but." No, I don't believe people can predict the future in the way shown in the movies, or on those psychic hotlines. I do... Continue Reading →
