As I am sequestered in what I will refer to as "Retreat 2020", I am inundated with the realization that there are some rather stupid people wandering around the planet. Well, no one is really wandering unless they are running to the grocery store everyday because they...

With no end in sight for our current hostage situation AKA quality family time, I was reminded of a practice that I learned early on in my spiritual recovery program. At the end of each day, I write down three things that I am grateful for and two things that I...

I have no idea what day it is but I figured it's Monday since it is gloomy and spitting rain. Turns out, I was right. I just want to say that I appreciate those who are swimming in the humor. Trying to laugh at a really bizarre situation. I love all of you, who are...

Okay, I know a lot of you are about to lose your shit. This social distancing coupled with the closures of frequent gathering spots can be disconcerting. The future is unknown. I have to maintain a high level of sarcasm and humor in order to plow through. Plus, I feel...

Oh, people. We aren't even through the first week of this quarantine shit and humans are already getting on my nerves, and I am not even with them. Social media should be a way of real connection right now, but instead we have the groups that are going to judge those...
