In this writing and over time you’ve revealed to us your brokenness, confusion, fears, insecurities, attachments and an instinct to hide shame coupled with a sincere and honest desire for spiritual growth and transformation. This writing feels raw, real and far reaching.

Yet, despite your dangerous childhood experiences which turned into a lifelong emotional survival system plus debilitating cognitive handicaps that just keep coming, you’ve become a deeply reflective and creative author.

Your willingness to face. your. absolute. truth. is rare, daunting and fortunate.

Your willingness to expose your truth on a public platform is bold, inspiring and I imagine, very healing.

I enjoy your story of the Tumbleweed Warrior Teddy Bear, your confidant and keeper of secrets, fighting “tiny little battlefields” together and creating stories around suffering. The love as one. Feels comforting even now at 14 years of sobriety!

Happy Birthday!

Congratulations and thank you for your stories. I love them.
