DWI vs DUI

June 29, 2014
'Driving under the influence.' Back in the day it was called, 'driving while intoxicated.' I guess they changed the acronym so now it encompasses many intoxicants. I've driven while under the influence of love - or was that lust? How about under the influence of a really jumping song? Better yet under the influence of a good burger in hand, a milkshake between my legs and a phone in one hand. I've driven under the influence of a broken heart - -- the kind of influence where tears drop from your chin and the stains on your shirt is mixed with mascara. We're ALL driving under the influence. "Is that a Starbucks up ahead?"

Divorced Parents

"The movement of ‘change,’ is ‘continuous.’ Sometimes it sucks and sometimes the changes are amazzzzinggggggggggg!!!"

This is what I wrote to a young woman who just found out her parents marriage of 26years is soon ending. She has put her own life on hold and dropped out of school. I told her about the cycles of my own life. How I saw my life in the end and how the cycles have brought me changes I never saw coming. 

I hope my words weren't hokie........I hope through the tears she can see a new perspective.
