The Waiting Game…
Of course, I know what I mean by “The Waiting Game.” However, looking at the date of my last post, evidently, it also applies to me sitting my ass down to once again regale you fine folks with my thoughts on thriving beyond trauma. The last post doesn’t really count because I mostly just copied-and-pasted…

A Book is Born…
Or at least, inseminated… Okay folks, this may be officially my laziest blog post yet. A writer-friend of mine as well as my beloved Tricia encouraged me to start writing a book. Yes, the wisdom of these fine people must surely be questioned because isn’t it bad enough I spew my salacious soliloquys online? Well,…

The Miracles of Marriage and Motorcycles
Strap in folks! You are about to go for one hell of a ride! This week in the life and times of yours truly some major shit has gone down! Okay, okay… Enough fucking around (also what she said). Let’s try to get a coherent thought out that doesn’t contain profanity or a euphemism. Hmmmm….…

The Only Constant is Change…
In AA, I’ve heard some folks say the only two things alcoholics hate are things changing and things staying the same… Well, young Bucky, gird your loins ’cause some major shifts are a-happening!

Put Up or Shut Up!
Okay, bitches… And I mean that in the most affectionate way possible. Really. It’s a term of endearment and not pointed at any particular gender in this context. Maybe as a cis-male, (and a white one at that – d’oh!) I haven’t earned (nor ever will) the right use that term? But today I’m feeling…

Maybe Do As I Do
Hello my devoted readers and perhaps newbies to the rollercoaster known as Greenleaf4Life! Guess what? It’s a Monday, and I’m actually fucking writing! Damn, it feels good to be a gangster… Well, not really. I’m the furthest thing from a gangster, but I am feeling fairly inspired to do something different today. Maybe it’s the…

Independence
For those of you living in the United States of America, as you well know, today is the anniversary of our country’s independence from England. And as usual, I will probably take a different direction and discuss what independence means personally to me and hopefully inspire you to consider what it means to you. However,…

I Open at the Close
Okay… so maybe the Harry Potter video is a little dramatic for what I want to talk about, but damn I’m feeling that today… The imagery, the music, the gravity of dying to live… And what, you may be asking, does Harry Potter and the golden snitch have to do with thriving beyond trauma…? Well…

My blessing season this in thee. “This above all: to thine own self be true…” Above all… To thine…
