Sometimes things happen in life that leap into the base of your stomach with a thunk and slowly spend the next few days crawling back up the cliff face of your esophagus without a rope. It doesn’t matter who you talk to or how secretive you become about what’s going on—the fear sticks to your [...]
How do you move forward knowing you've done horrible things in the past? - Know that’s not who you are. You were designed perfectly and were given the breath of life to make sure you lived out your life being and doing all you were given life for. - You did horrible things. Accept that [...]
An Infinite Truth My four nights of night shift were over. Sleep was very much enjoyed. And now I was alone in our flat in Dublin, Ireland, with the dulled sounds of the city suburbs moving around the walls protecting the tiny patch of grass, and my washing on the line, three floors down. I [...]
A Moment My four nights of night shift were over. Sleep was very much enjoyed. And now I was alone in our flat in Dublin, Ireland, with the dulled sounds of the city suburbs moving around the walls protecting the tiny patch of grass, and my washing on the line, three floors down. I leaned [...]
