Just like any home remodeling project, why would we be any different! This is SO true!

My message for 2026 is simple: Be YOU! Pure, unadulterated, 100% YOU. The crazy, goofy, kind, wild, and beautiful YOU. That's what the world needs right now. (Unless of course you're an a**hole, in which case, go get yourself right first! 😂)

My wife and I went out to an event where we went onto a boat on our river here, with 2 floors with different DJ's, Prohibition dress encouraged. We had a blast and brought in the New Year on the water! I think that was a first. Only thing: we saw way too many dudes not dancing

As we head into 2026, I want to thank the healing community here! You've been a huge help in my healing from complex trauma these last 3+ years! We all do what we do. But, those who are on here and willing to share their resources, offer support, and celebrate with others are a

I hope and feel this too. I think we’ve reached the breaking/tipping point. The old ways no longer work.

Love begets love. Joy begets joy. Peace begets peace. Struggling with these? Healing is the way there.

Sometimes letting go is required for wholeness. Relationships, beliefs, or habits can all prevent us from getting back to ourselves. Release is not failure, it is rebirth.

It's time we normalize crying. Especially for men. After all, it's a *NORMAL* bodily function!

If you're healing: Be ready for some friends to leave and/or friendships to change. I've had to learn through hard experience that some do not want to be around you if you're healing, growing, changing. Some from your "old" life will be threatened now. After all, we're

Has this site simply lost a lot of people? My interactions are a fraction. But even looking at huge accounts, incl one with a million followers, it looks like everyone’s is a fraction of before. At least in the healing/growth space.

It's a tough thing to finally see, in my 50s, just how harmful my family of origin was. My dad was emotionally very limited and often violent and didn't have an ongoing relationship with any of his children. He passed last year without friends or even a funeral. My mom is a

Sometimes are darkest times lead to our best times. Three and a half years ago, I was "cracked open" by a deep wound of betrayal and being discarded. It was the worst period of my life. I know that wound hasn't fully healed. However, without it I never would have learned I had

Don’t sell your soul for money. Don’t sell yourself for anyone or anything. Be true to yourself. Trauma robs us of such choices. Until we begin to heal.

A thread that I believe explains a lot about what is happening across the US now—on both the right and left. Online profit is made by keeping people in hyper-arousal—monetarily & politically. If your immediate thought was “yes!” but thinking about those on the “other” side of

What you react to and judge in others has a lot to tell you. The angrier you get, the more there is for you to learn from. Look within. Not without. It's pointing to unresolved issues or pain that you have. Like coiled shackles, they're holding onto you still. Will you

I was raised by a dad who yelled all the time. The violence sometimes turned physical. My mom would yell some but mostly it was the sneer, scolding, and disgust. None of this is good for a child. Stop it.

Wow. But it explains a lot.
