Sometimes it ’s AMAZING. Sometimes it ’s just A MAZE. The Do’s and Don’ts. I Even Tried an Acrobat. At a crossroads. A stupid road, with a stupid point, where I had to decide which way to go. I hate roads like that. But every road is like that, so maybe it’s just me. Because you get to do it all over again. And again, and again…and again. The proof is in the fire. One thing I’ve learned is that coals are only good if you plan to light it again. Or if it’s already too hot. Thank you, Wilma. I am the beaut...

Sometimes it ’s AMAZING. Sometimes it ’s just A MAZE. The Do’s and Don’ts. Leaving my line to define my plane. He said, “Huh? 8220;Well, three points define a plane,” I said.

The thing is, they cannot all exist on the same line. Very interesting…. January 1, 2009. 4 Comments ». I agree. Don’t be scar...I too h...

Sometimes it ’s AMAZING. Sometimes it ’s just A MAZE. The Do’s and Don’ts. The Deep Freeze Experiment. As you know, I blog from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Known for it’s rain, we hardly ever get snow that sticks on that valley floor. Well, this week we have surpassed all usual expectations. We have truly been bombarded with quite an unusual winter storm. We’ve had temperatures in the teens…during the day! Where the roads open? Were they able to get groceries?

Why Amazing Parents? « Amazing Parents
https://amazingparents.wordpress.com/why
Sometimes it ’s AMAZING. Sometimes it ’s just A MAZE. The Do’s and Don’ts. Because a very wise woman once told me that experiencing suffering on a huge level, the level that RAD families experience it, is like a suspension bridge. It is a long, treacherous bridge made out of rope and old wood. It looks rickety — and it is. You go on about your business and never notice that there’s even a bridge. Suffering on a huge, catastrophic level. The level of shear horror. Because you suddenly realize the ...The f...

Sometimes it ’s AMAZING. Sometimes it ’s just A MAZE. The Do’s and Don’ts. The Void That Never Gets Filled. I grew up in a small town. 8221; Just then the mayor walked in, up to the counter and ordered a drink. We recognized him. He spoke to us briefly. He was the same guy who walked up and down the aisles of the movie place with a flashlight, telling us to “keep it down or get out”. He still had a bike. Would you believe I left that town almost 20 years ago. And have literally never gone back until now?
