You don't have a problem, you have a condition. The human condition. - February 28th, 2023

Forever in search of the next best self-help book, my last purchase became my last straw.

Tossing it violently across the room, I was not only angry at myself for falling for the thousands of 5-star reviews, but more so furious at . . .

There once was a girl...

Historian of My Existence

My memories are the building blocks of my history. - March 8th, 2022
Gasping for air I struggled to breathe. My throat constricted. Hot tears rolled as I whimpered, choked...

Life.

Boy does it take work to live it, breathe it, and not be at war with it!

It's taken me much work to discover that everything I need, want, or could ever hope for is right under my nose.

Hear Me

Releasing my inner voice

Silvrback blog image
From a very young age I learned the difference between being seen, verses being heard. I discovered that unless I open my mouth to say something people will assume what I am thinking just by looking at me.
