Road to recovery

Pain. Isolation. Internal struggles. Wounds. Unresolved hurt. Secret sins. Abuse. Where do you go to get help?

In April, one of the finalists for a superintendent of schools opening in our community was accused of publicly exposing himself 16 times since November. He had a strong resume and a successful track record including being voted Minnesota’s top superintendent in 2010. His behavior seemed to come out of nowhere.

Endless–for the time being–love

In 1981, Lionel Richie and Diana Ross released a beautiful, heart-touching song called “Endless Love.” This song has been sung at many weddings and dances for almost 40 years. In their personal lives, endless love hasn’t happened yet for either Lionel or Diana. Lionel Richie married his college sweetheart. After one child and 10 years of marriage he began an ongoing affair with another lady which eventually ended his marriage. He married the lady he had an affair with and they had two children together and that marriage ended after eight years. Diana Ross has five children with three different men. She was married to two of them. Marriage No. 1 was for six years and marriage No. 2 was 14 years.

In 2016, Tenille wrote a memoir that, despite her success, she felt lonely and isolated from her husband: “The man whom I’d thought was my soulmate was in many ways just as remote as a stranger passing by through the fog.”

Downloading on the plane

I’ve never been one who can get anything productive done on an airplane. If I try reading, with the motion of the plane, my eyelids get heavy and my head starts to bob. Working on my laptop is typically not possible due to lack of room. However, the airplane seat next to me is empty so I will give this a try.
