Looking for love in all the wrong places
From the time I was a little girl and watched my parents get married, I knew I wanted that kind of love in my life. I never really fit in with many of my friends growing up, and as a result I fell in love with books, especially those with a happy ending. Those who know me and those who follow me, know that for 5 years I was in an abusive marriage. Leaving was the scariest and hardest thing I have done, EVER. Yet, my hope for finding my happy ending has never wavered. The past few weeks especially, I am wondering if it is something attainable. My situation is unique and not exactly what men put on their list for dream girls. I have asked myself many times, 'Is he out there somewhere?' 'Is he lost?' 'Why can't he find me?'

Is Sympathy Really a Bad Thing?
Today I had a thought-provoking moment of time. Literally, I seemed to question my life choices and how this had influenced my previous relationship, perhaps making things better and probably hurt much less than it did.

Writing through silence
I’m Josey and I am autistic. I have been writing since I could remember. My mom hung on to so many little art projects and stories from when I was a child that it's hard to pinpoint exactly when I started writing stories and poems. I can remember little crayon drawings with stories attached as early as six years old. Stories of snowmen and songbirds and even favorite cartoon characters.

Five steps to a purpose-driven, alcohol-free life.
I'm an ordained minister who calls herself spiritual, not religious, along with a plurality of other Americans. Even when I was drinking, I was drawn to spiritual experiences and growth. Despite my very Christian upbringing - or maybe because of it - I was drawn to eclectic approaches to spirituality.
