The Years We couldn’t Name
For years, we sensed something was off. She was bright and creative, but also increasingly distant—eccentric in ways that were hard to explain. We tried to name it with softer words: quirky, sensitive, intense. We hoped time, rest, or love would smooth the edges. Instead, the edges sharpened. What followed were repeated episodes of psychosis—confusing,…

Showing Up
Showing Up To show up is morethan standing in a room—it is pausing,listening with the ears of your heart,and seeing the unspoken. It is the quiet attention,the phone put down,the world held at bayso they may speak,so they may be heard. It is hands that help,meals that arrive at just the right time,notes left like…

From Breaking to Becoming: My 56th Chapter
