About the Book:

It's not blood that makes family – it's love.

Without love, blood might just as well be ice.

What would it have been like if you had been truly loved?

And what would your children say to them if they could?

Charlotte and Johnny were born of not only these questions, but of a mourning process. Charlotte came from a dysfunctional but very artistic and creative family. While there was often pain and struggles, there were also happy times. Charlotte never imagined that one day her family would no longer be there. Her family was far from perfect, but it was her sanctuary.

And then one day it was just gone. Over. Charlotte was left reeling. She was in shock for so long she wasn't sure for exactly what. But eventually she came to realize that it was a death. That she had to mourn it as such. And to do that, she needed to share these vignettes; scenes from this family that once was.

Then we meet Johnny, Charlotte's eleven-year old son. Johnny has been given some special powers. There are conversations that Charlotte will never be able to have. But Johnny can. Charlotte didn't know what being truly loved as a child was like. But Johnny can show her...

We did everything for fun, it seemed like there was nothing we couldn't do, no fun that we couldn't have. Her house was an entire wonderland within itself. An enormous granite-walled mansion, there were four floors of enchanting adventure for us. The first floor held a kitchen where we made all kinds of goodies, an adjacent playroom where we played house, Barbie, watched "It's A Living," "Silver Spoons," "Small Wonder," "Dukes of Hazzard," "Laverne & Shirley," two mag...

Goals: Why Even Bother?

Sometimes the question is not "Why do I want to accomplish this goal"? Sometimes it's more like "Why shouldn't I just do whatever I feel like doing? Why do I want to bother myself with goals when I could just be relaxing instead?" You might then ask yourself, if I forget the goal what do I miss out on? Am I ok with that? Will I have regrets one day? Which will cause me more stress - abandoning the goal or following through on it? What will my life look like next week, next month, next year if I do/don't accomplish the goal? Sometimes when it's the desire for accomplishment that falters, it's the fear of loss that keeps you going.
