I picked a day of the week and made some rules for myself and set about my spiritual experiment. This [...]

Asking for Help
Image credit: Photo by Jose Téllez on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons You know why I hate the word codependent? (And although I have taken on that label, I still truly do.) It has the word "dependent" right there in the word. Weak, wussy little "dependent." It practically whines at you: "I'm so helpless. I [...]
Giving Thanks
Image credit: Photo by Alex E. Proimos Licensed under Creative Commons On Thanksgiving morning, I needed to run out to the grocery store for a few last minute items, and if the parking lot of my local store was any indication, I was far from the only one. As I weaved my way slowly through [...]
Not Alone

Image credit: Photo by stuant63 Licensed under Creative Commons I've been working through the 12 Steps again, more slowly this time than my last time through. This week, I worked through an exercise where I looked at patterns of compulsive behavior in my life and I was struck (again) by how powerfully my life is [...]
Lost Time Haiku
I wound my first watch; Mickey Mouse hands driven by the soft click of gears. Approximations, a few minutes here or there, time was blurry, soft. Now countless pixels guide me with sharp precision, but I miss Mickey.
Fixed!
Whew! I fixed the problems with my comments and feed. And this awesome plugin fixed the problem with WordPress automatically changing my straight quotes to curly quotes. You know, the one I broke my blog trying to fix in the first place. So now everything is working right! I love it when a plan comes [...]
