I’ve been there…I am there right now…& the only way to feel better (from what I’ve learned – over many failed other attempts at trying to find different ways – is to be open about it, face it, & keep diligent about it, till you get past it). For some reason (as much as it …

If you were old enough to remember watching it (in person or on TV) in real time, it still lives inside you. And “it” is trauma. I’m not sure there’s been an event, in the history of our planet, that traumatized so many, so quickly. The Kennedy assassination was awful – & though it was …
