I received an email from a young girl – I'd peg her at 13-15 years old, but I could be way off. I'm posting the text and my reply, minus identifying bits. Her email: Hello, I know this sounds kind of weird but I sort of need your ...

I Fail at Napping, But Win at Getting Up

Well, the nap plan didn't work out, but I did get the loose items weighted down or picked up. Unless the storm is strong enough to pick up 20 or 30 lbs, I figure I'm good. I tied the garbage cans to the porch rails. It's fairly sheltered there. I've installed ...

Trust is a Difficult Issue

For documentation purposes, I need to post about a recent event, though there's only so much I want to post publicly. I'm looking into a way to filter some posts to registered users of this site, but for now I will only give a sketchy description and it will have ...

Funny Anecdotes to Blush By

I think I have to start carrying around a little notebook so that when I see/hear/think of something funny or significant, I can write it down to blog later. There have been at least three occasions in the past week when I’ve said, “I have to blog about this!” only ...

Hope is Within You

Once in a while I receive an email from someone seeking my help or Meridjet’s help with problems and issues that I’m not remotely qualified for. Often, these people are already in counseling or other treatment that provide them the tools they need to solve things on their own. But ...

Spirits are Morally Ambiguous

Today, as I slept, there was discussion on the spirit companion yahoogroup regarding spirits, lying, and teaching lessons.
