To ALL of My Fellow Americans- Election Day 2020

To ALL of my fellow Americans: To those who have already voted. To those who will be voting soon. To those who are not going to vote. If your choice is different than mine: It’s okay. We are different people. If your voice is supporting that which I do not: I still support you as…

I Can See Your Perspective

I can understand your perspective. Not precisely the same way as you because I have not had your exact experiences- but when you share your feelings with me they can make sense to me if I imagine that I am you and I try to feel what you are saying. If I allow myself I…

I Love My (Sick) Body

According to my mother, a part of me seemed “fragile” from the moment I was born.  Other pieces of mine such as strong spirit and an “I can do anything” attitude have done a lot to offset this truth in my life but nonetheless it was an accurate sensing. As a child I was often…
