to the moon and back:
a childhood under the influence
Share the Hope
Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting worlds. There was the world she longed for and lived in on weekends – her mother’s world, which was the fanatical, puritanical cult of the Moonies – and the world she was forced to live in during the week – her father’s world, which was based in sex, drugs, and the squalor of life in New York City’s East Village in the 1970’s.

Let the love shine in
Last week I wrote about my over-responsibility and how I am learning – day-by-day, moment-by-moment – to let that go. This week, what I need to hear and remember (and hopefully it will resonate for you as well) is my day-by-day and moment-by-moment decision and choice...
I’m not responsible for anything
I was raised knowing that I was responsible to ease God’s suffering and that any doubt in my mind or heart, any time I selfishly thought of myself first…or at all, any misstep or misaction I took would break God’s heart. While I now know that that is ludicrous – that...
