Unfortunately, my Uncle Mike passed away last month. He was sick for a while, but losing someone is never easy. Of course, because these events happen at the worst time, Thanksgiving would have been his 84th birthday and yesterday his daughter married her long-time partner. I was honored and responsible to represent my family. My … Continue reading Giving Thanks and Loss

How awful … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Natural Magic by Doreen Valiente

Here’s what I found: Most sources say Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr wrote it, and Dr. Howard Robbins later published it. It came to the attention of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous and they … Continue reading Acceptance and Grace – A Personal Look at The Serenity Prayer
