Welcome to My Profile Index!

You may not realize how much better you are doing — Recovery from trauma can take a long time. It’s frustrating because you want to be “done” and get on with your life. I have CPTSD and have been in trauma therapy for a long time. …

You must fight for it — fiercely! — I’ve been on a long healing journey for the past few years. My healing needs are part physical and part emotional. During my journey, I’ve learned one thing with certainty. Healing is not for the faint of heart. You must fight for it—fiercely! Chronic Pain I’ve had chronic pain in my low…

A warning for other writers — I don’t know who Core Spirit is, but I’m tired of their spam comments on my articles. Anyone else?

What’s yours? — I’m not a big fan of cover songs. I am usually fiercely loyal to the original. But I like some cover songs even better than the original! I watch a lot of music reaction videos on YouTube, and I’ve discovered some fantastic groups I wouldn’t normally listen to. …
