Last night, I had another dream about Melissa. In the dream, I was in what felt like the home I grew up in, though dreams have a way of blending places and memories together.

When Your Dreams Tell You to Turn Off “Ghost Adventures”
Last night, my brain served up a cinematic masterpiece—one I definitely did not ask for. Picture this: several buildings balanced on top of huge blocks… but with wheels. Yes, wheels.

Knowing That You Are OK…
So today was the first day since I was back in the office, and I finally ran into one of the 2 people who had made my life really difficult over the last year or so. I was unsure of what my reaction was going to be. Was I going to have a panic attackContinue reading “Knowing That You Are OK…”

I woke up, got dressed and took the 15 minute drive to Salt Lake Behavioral Health for my first group therapy session. I was nervous about participating in group therapy. So I went in with an open mind, but still nervous of not being able to “spill my guts” so to speak in front ofContinue reading “May 27, 2025”
