Today I did a puzzle. I bought a puzzle with no regard to my children. No this wasn’t a present/ activity for them. It was for me. Doctor ordered. I’ve learned I like to fix things. I like to solve. I’m a “fixer” at least that’s what my new therapist thinks. I want to fix …

Remember…we did this.

PTSD shock GOOD therapy
I need to document the moment I reached the top of the dark side and was able to look back and see the beauty that was there all along, but I lacked the light to see. Since June is going nowhere, I’m only left with my own documentation. What worked? Why did the sun rise …

Motto
Every good plan needs a motto. A rally cry if you will. Here is mine: See something, say something. I stole it from the NYTransit Authority, I do not claim to be its author. Just sound advice. And I wholeheartedly endorse this motto for you too. No more this “How is that even possible?!” No …
