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.

The lie of vulnerability
This is what keeps catching me up right now. The lie – my lie – of vulnerability. Don’t get me wrong. I know I’m healing my body from cancer and moving through chemo (round three of six this week). I know I obviously have been vulnerable to this challenge and that I’m...
One sentence to set you free from fear
I am thrilled to offer a post from a dear friend and fellow "recovery warrior" (and an amazing coach, if you're looking for one!) Caroline Garnet McGraw - who offered to write a post for me so that I could lie on my side porch doing nothing, healing from my last chemo...
