In the book “Will Grayson, Will Grayson” by John Green and David Levithan, one of the Wills asks Jane (whom he likes) to agree to be completely honest with each other and not worry about feelings for 10 minutes and then to go back to “normal.” I want you to do the same thing–I’m doing…

I used to send out these little observations as day brighteners, I called them Joy Bubbles. And I loved it when someone would reply and tell me the joy bubble had, indeed, brightened their day, because when their day was brightened mine was too. It made me happy. Is that weird? No. And here’s some…

I am feeling messy and not ready and surprisingly heartbroken. Or, maybe the heartbreak feeling is not so surprising, because I’ve been down this road before: State Highway of Grief.

I have a plethora of written material spread over numerous notebooks (paper and digital). Most of it should not be shared, but I’ve decided that if I see something that might help someone else take a step forward (and at the same time, to remind myself to take that same step) that I’ll share it.…
