Welcome!

This is where I share thoughts on things that matter to me as if they should also matter to you. No matter why you’re here, I’m thrilled you’ve stopped by.

 

Stick around a few minutes. Come back when you can. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, want to comment on what’s here, or tell me about something that matters to you, leave me a note.

 

Chances are, I’ll respond rather quickly, then spend days in the car and the shower wishing I’d said something better.

The Preface

Psychic hurricanes and waterfalls have been part of my life since I developed panic anxiety disorder near the end of my six years living in Uganda. After over a year of fighting against debilitating symptoms of disorder, I fled--afraid of fear, afraid of Africa, afraid of everything. Weeks after leaving, through desperation, I found hope. Months after leaving, through humbling work, I found moments of stability. Years after leaving, moment by moment, I have experienced enough stability to know that abundant life is possible with a disordered psyche.
