to the moon and back:
a childhood under the influence
Coming September 18, 2018
Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting, bipolar 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 the 1970’s in the East Village of New York City.
You really need to read this book, because it’s awesome.

Joyful in my now
I’ve decided to be joyful in my now. I know – I decide this often. Over and over again I decide I’ll do it. Over and over again I recommit myself to it. There is so much to be joyful about. There are so many reasons to smile. Even as I write this, I can feel the...
I am not in control
I am not in control. That may not come as a surprise to you, but somehow it’s always shocking to me. Even as much as I know that nearly everything is out of my control, at times I think and act like I’m in charge of everything. Or at least like I should be. I don’t...
