For Very Limited Time, Get My New Book, Charlotte and Johnny, For Free!

Get it here - this deal won't last long!

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...

Day 22 - Beck Diet Solution, Say “Oh Well” To Disappointment

Inigo Montoya: Who are you? Man in Black: No one of consequence. Inigo Montoya: I must know... Man in Black: Get used  to disappointment. Inigo Montoya: 'kay. The Princess Bride (20th Century Fox 1987) Just as Inigo shrugs off the disappointment of the Man in Black’s declining to reveal his identity and gets right back into the duel, so too must we shrug off those discouragements that go hand-in-hand with losing weight and keep truckin’ down the weight loss trail.   It’ll go easier for us if we do.  What if we just lay around bellyaching about how horrible it is that we can’t have that donut, can’t eat/drink exactly what everybody else does at parties, can’t just open the fridge and eat whenever we felt like it?  How much would we really accomplish that way?  Even if we do stick to our plans for a little while under that mindset, we’d be fighting an exhausting battle with ourselves every day and eventually give in.  Even the patience an...

Jimmy - 2/1/20

I dreamed of my Jimmy last night.  It was one of those dreams where it was all a mistake.  He hadn't really died.  He was at some nursing home and they were trying to find him for me.  Then in another part of the dream he was running around randomly spraying a hose.  Being that goofy Jimmy that he was.  I was hiding from him, terrified.  Then he popped up in front of me and sprayed some in my face, and I just laughed.  I hugged him hard.  Then in another part of the dream I was lying with him on the floor of the den in my grandparents' house, where sometimes I would just fall asleep in contentment.  I was leaning against my Jimmy.  I could feel myself leaning against him.  Then I woke up and saw I was leaning against the big pillow instead. Wow I love you Jimmy.  Always will.  Never was anyone like you before, nor will there ever be again.  This was not my first "it was all a mistake" dream.  I gu...
