Me. Children Are Not Chattel.
July 4, 2020 It’s the 4th of July. That’s a day I have always associated with fireworks, swimming pools, the mountains, barbecue, and playing with my family into the night. Nostalgia is an interesting thing. No matter how hard I have tried in the past few years to recreate that experience, it’s been difficult forContinue reading “Me. Children Are Not Chattel.”
Me. Ruthful.
I’ve just spent my whole morning hanging out around the convenience stores near my neighborhood high school. That’s because my friend asked me to buy out medication so there wouldn’t be any for his kid to steal. My friend is what I would call a professional dad. He has been advocating for his kids forContinue reading “Me. Ruthful.”
We. Desperately Tried Ketamine (Special K)💉.
I want to share what I’ve learned about ketamine because over the last few months ketamine treatments have revived my 17 year old from a deep depression that has been disabling him since he was 14.

Me. Swimming in Blood, Sweat & Tears.
When I was in my thirties and my children were young I became very ill. I looked fine to most people, but I didn’t feel fine at all. I battled insomnia hard for about seven years. I was exhausted and severely fatigued. I ran on adrenaline most of the time. At the height of myContinue reading “Me. Swimming in Blood, Sweat & Tears.”

I don’t actually recall if anyone has said it to my face, but I know that some people think that it’s my own fault that I have so many problems. It’s impossible not to see that I have a lot of problems if you’re paying attention. I have three teenagers. And who doesn’t have aContinue reading “Community is the Solution”
Me. Jew.
1:54 Two days ago it was Christmas. I have struggled with my feelings on Christmas since I was a teenager. I think I finally understand why. It’s because Christmas to me just feels plain lonely. I think this lonely feeling started because of a question I have been asked over and over since I wasContinue reading “Me. Jew.”
Me. Whistleblower.
I have not been paying much attention to the impeachment hearings. I know to some people that probably makes me seem like I am out of touch and maybe I am, but I know myself well enough by now to realize that I don’t need the impeachment hearings running through my head every day. Besides,Continue reading “Me. Whistleblower.”
My Work Retaliation Story
I write complaints. I also used to investigate them. Today I went to meet with an investigator from the EEOC. The attorneys had filed a charge of discrimination with the EEOC and the Colorado Commission of Civil Rights back in July. It took six moths for my interview to confirm that the charge would beContinue reading “My Work Retaliation Story”
Me. September 11th.
Anniversaries are a funny thing. Truthfully, I hadn’t even thought about the date today until a dear old friend posted a comment on my Facebook. Adam and I practiced law together in New York City and he is the one who reminded me of today’s anniversary. He is the one who reminded me to thinkContinue reading “Me. September 11th.”
