Hello Reader, It’s a beautiful day today, but how are you doing today? “I am…okay? I guess if I really think about it, I can almost make myself have a bad day but to be honest, I’m doing alright.” – Reader That is awesome! “How so?” – Reader Well, that shows me that you are healing. “...but I thought healing means that I live the life I always wanted to live, and that I never think about the pain from my past again, and that I don’t experience the emotions that I don't like,

Hello Reader, Spring is here and I’m starting to see the plants grow. Do you have a favorite flower, Reader? “I do! I love roses. I remember at school we would put coloring dye in the water of roses, and they would bloom different colors.” – Reader. That’s awesome! I didn’t know you could do that. Roses are beautiful but it sucks that they have so many thorns. “Oh yeah, I’ve pricked myself on them a few…wait a minute…does this have to do something with therapy? OOoOoooOHhh, L
