Today is Maundy Thursday, the day on which Jesus’ Last Supper falls. I am still struggling with my literal faith versus my belief in the metaphors, my support of the scripture if not the institutions, but one of the best parts of Easter, for me, is what happens before the Last Supper. As [...]

“Just” sensitive?
Posted in Deep Thoughts, bipolar, dad, links, memory, mom on January 21, 2008 | 13 Comments »
NYJLM had a post about what an impact the fear of being told “no” can have, and it was something that really resonated with me. I lived much of my childhood trying to be good enough, smart enough, quiet enough, helpful enough that my parents would give me praise, and recognize that their fighting [...]
