who do I blog for?
Jack Nicolson put it brilliantly in the road-trip scene from the 1999 movie As Good As It Gets: Not everyone has a terrible story to get over. Some people have great stories, beautiful stories that take place in parks with friends and noodle salad. Good times, noodle salad. Just no one in this car.
If you're overwhelmed today or need help facing a painful yesterday, you're in the right place. You matter to God. It (whatever it is), matters to God. But no one can make that discovery for you. I'm here to comfort, inspire, and even challenge you along the way. The lessons I learned throughout my toughest years of healing were never just for me. God had you in mind as well. You are why The Medicine Place exist.

Hopeless Stars
I wrote this poem after six weeks of faithful attendance to group therapy. I remember being frustrated because I wasn't healed, (I had a lot to learn about healing processes).
I needed to heal fast...I had a job and a family that needed me sane. I was constantly on edge and I didn't want to be touched. Every day presented new challenges. It all seemed so unfair and the truth is, it was.

Invisable Child
I've decided to share a collection of things I wrote when I thought healing was impossible and also what I wrote when healing became a reality.
I'm not sharing the dark stuff for the sake of being edgy. I just think it's important to show all aspects of the journey. And I want you to know that when I say that I know how you feel, I really do know how you feel.
Your story doesn't have to end with what I once wrote. I now live in the light at the end of the tunnel and it's brilliant. You can too.
