    Tonight, I’m sitting here with Heff. Heff is my late mother’s dog. He is now blind, diabetic and, let’s be honest, an honorary bastard of the highest order. A story in himself. He’s the kind of creature who, if he could talk, would tell you to get your hands off him, turn off the light…

    Three hours that changed everything. If you’ve been following this story, you’ll know I left my dad’s wake confused as hell, with a son nobody in my family knew about and a million questions swirling in my head. On the drive home, I finally started asking them. ‘How did you even know my dad died‘?‘Who…

    The Stranger at the Wake I’ve been thinking a lot about my son lately. The one I gave up for adoption when I was a teenager. The one my family told me never to bring around. ‘He’s just looking for money‘, they said (Bully!). Funny how people love to assign motives to others while keeping…

    My Spiritual School Progress Report (Spoiler: I’m Nailing It)… Ever feel like life is some kind of spiritual boot-camp where you’re always one assignment away from enlightenment… or a nervous breakdown? 😅 Same here. I recently asked myself why I haven’t ‘graduated’ yet – and instead of a deep philosophical answer, what came through was…

    When Did It Really Start? Lately, I’ve been asking myself a question I’m not sure I can fully answer: When did all this really start? The dysfunction. The self-doubt. The feeling that no matter what I did, it would never be good enough. I don’t have a date or a moment. But I know it…

    Lately, I’ve been sitting with some of the big questions, the kind that don’t get polite answers. Why am I here?What is this life actually about?Why does so much feel… fake? Some days, it hits like a quiet ache. Other days it’s a full-on existential scream into the void. You know the one. Is this…

    You know what people rarely talk about when it comes to family dysfunction?The pettiness. The sneaky, petty little acts that aren’t big enough to scream about but leave a bruise all the same. The acts that, over time, tell you everything you need to know about someone’s need for control. I’ve lived this. I still…
