Welcome back. You belong here. The guitar, as for many Nicaraguënses, has been my faithful companion since age 5-6 when my father gave me my first nylon string guitar. In Nicaragua, the nylon/classical guitar is king, shades of the influence of the Spanish Inquisition. I grew up with nylon/classical guitar in my home, at church, […]

Welcome back. You belong here. Day2 of my Sabbath week went great. Emailed my doctor about the meds for my heart palps not really working, he was out today. Echocardiogram scheduled for Thursday, all part of the process. These palps started 2 months ago, stress induced and are still going. Today was a great day,

Welcome back. You belong here. Today I laughed at myself in front of a thousand people. Usually, when things don’t go as I planned them I go fetal. I don’t do well with change, in fact, I hate change. For the last few months, my therapist has been talking to me about being like an

Welcome back. You belong here. In counseling one of the things we talk about is “What is true” and opening myself up to God, letting him into my junk. The problem is that each time my life coach says that I ask myself, “which God are you talking about?” The nice, good God I’m supposed

Welcome back. You belong here. A guy walked into church today to meet with the pastor on call, me. He told me a tale of racism, how here in Denver people don’t see many African Americans and that’s why we don’t help each other (him). He told me of his wife’s illness, and after 40mns
