I know that I am not the only one. I belong to a generation of numb warriors – a Sisyphean generation – constantly thrusting those boulders that are trying to defeat us over and over again. Up the hill we go, and back down again. Pushing. Pushing. Pushing. Humanity is repeating that same journey, fighting…

Tim with the Double Chin
Welcome to this tale, dear reader. Now, with the kindest, sweetest inner speaking voice, let us begin… Once upon a time, a man called Tim was conceived.

Book review: ‘You Are Enough’ by Mandy Hale
A few posts ago I reviewed Mandy Hale’s book Beautiful Uncertainty. Her newest book, You Are Enough: Heartbreak, Healing, and Becoming Whole, is the subject of today’s post. If you have read Beautiful Uncertainty, you could not ask for a greater contrast between that book and this new one, and perhaps even wonder if this…
