Today you woke up and you started all over again. No matter what happened yesterday. Or didn’t happen yesterday. Or who was not nice to you, or what didn’t get done, or how behind you were. Who hurt you or how awesome you were. It isn’t yesterday. It won’t ever be yesterday again. Yesterday may [...]

I get you. I know more about you than you think. I know about some of your relationships. I know about your stories. Your excuses. Your “never agains” Your “what ifs” and your “maybe just one more times.” I know what it is like to wonder “Is it me?” or “Why do I keep making [...]

A guest post by Erica Kaplan, aka my sister. A few days ago my 5-year-old daughter Lily asked me why we still had our “Happy Halloween” banner hung in the corner of our kitchen.

ICK… …how it feels when they tell you “you can’t” or “you shouldn’t.” …how you feel when you know the person you least want to see is right in front of you. …another word for shame. …another word for disrespect. …another word for the thing you feel when you are shot down yet again. ……when [...]

I remember the feeling of walking on eggshells. I remember wondering what I did wrong or when I would next do something wrong. I remember being scared that this would be my life forever. I remember feeling constantly on edge. I remember being disrespected. I remember being yelled at. Sneered at. Verbally attacked. I remember [...]
