9/2/23 Aloha, Good Person! Have you ever struggled with getting something done on time? Yeah, me neither. (Choke, gasp, hysterical laughter . . . ) Since I’m still struggling with the post that was originally intended for this week (it’s now over 3000 words long!) I’m rerunning a poem that should’ve been put up on… Continue reading The Long Road Home

8/25/23 (And originally 12/4/20) Hi Beautiful/Handsome Person! Is there something in your mind and/or heart you’ve wanted to create, invent or improve upon? If so, what have you done to give life to it? Back in 2020 I took an online class in playwriting. I could imagine so much of a stage production and wanted… Continue reading J.C. Speaks

8/18/23 Hi Good Person –  Had a couple of incidences recently that showed me that sometimes what someone does to – um – debase another (trying to sound a little more Christian by not using the first word that came to mind for ‘debase’.) (Ahem.) is off set by an otherwise completely unrelated occurrence. Has… Continue reading When the Cure Comes Before the Wounding

8/5/23 HI Mortal & Imperfect Angel – What’s new for you? What happened the last time you unintentionally did something that you could laugh at yourself about? Care to share in the comment section so the rest of us can laugh at (er – sorry) WITH you? 😉 It’s funny (well, to me, anyway), had… Continue reading Part 2, When a Movie (& People!) Heal

7/27/23 Dear delightful person,  How you be doin’? 🙂  Can you laugh at yourself? I’m really glad to be doing that more and more; gives me ample chances to guffaw throughout the day! (Not that I always take the opportunity, though! :)) While walking with a friend, ‘E’, there was a type of tree I’d… Continue reading When a Movie (& People!) Heal

7/20/23 Hello Beautiful/Handsome (Inside and out) You ~ How has your week been going?  Have you had a recent experience where you persevered and did something you didn’t have to, was a bit trepidatious about doing it, and in spite of your doubts and fears pushed forward and accomplished it anyway? Would be glad to… Continue reading Plowing Thru The Road Blocks

7/14/23 Welcome, Wonderful You! Have you able to recognize more good within yourself?  Today’s poem was written quite a few years ago and is pretty self-explanatory, I’d say.  All the work God and I have been doing to heal is coalescing; what this poem is about will always be a part of my life’s experience,… Continue reading Void

7/6/23 Hi Good Person! July 5 1907 is the day one of my favorite people was born so I’m rerunning the post that was written in honor of him (and what God did for me!) last year. (Photo by Nathan Anderson on Unsplash) Howdy Delightful You, How is your day going? Was there anything over the last few… Continue reading I Am Redeemed! 🙂

6/30/23 Good day, Good Person! Can you usually tell if someone or a situation is safe? Here’s the latest dose of overthinking the snot out of things. Do you have advice for some of this?  As a survivor of so much human induced trauma, feeling safe is so important yet it can be so elusive.… Continue reading Safe! (For sure?)

6/21/23 Hello Beloved Person! How’s your week going? Do you celebrate Father’s Day, or is there something that keeps you from fully embracing it?  If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time then you might remember some holidays are more of a struggle than others, but what’s kinda funny (in a sad… Continue reading Love and Grace
