    Hey, Soos! #7

    October 17, 2020 Hey, Soos! One day I hope to climb a mountain. Yes, a super random way to start out this entry, I know. Why would a born-and-raised Ohio girl want to climb a mountain? I guess there are a few reasons that I can think of off the top of my head. One,…

    October 14, 2020 Hey, Soos! A struggle of mine that often haunts me are the past mistakes that I have made in my life. It’s especially worse when those mistakes involve other people. I know that everyone slips up from time to time, but for me it’s hard to let go of the all-consuming shame.…

    October 13, 2020 Hey, Soos! Creativity is one of the most important things in my life. Without it, I’m not quite sure where I would be. In many ways creativity has kept me somewhat quasi-sane during my darkest moments. When my anxiety reached a fever pitch during my childhood years, I would go in the…

    October 11, 2020 Hey, Soos! What are some of your favorite stories? Do you like romance, mystery, comedy or drama? Are you a long novel or more of a short story kind of guy? Or are you a fan of poetry? (Personally, I am not). Do you ever get so lost in a story that…

    October 10, 2020 Hey, Soos! What do you like the most about nature? I took a long trek on one of the tails earlier today and got to thinking about the beauty of the natural world. My eyes try to take in all of the different colors, shapes, hues and whatnot that make up the…

    Hey There Soos! #1

    Author’s Note: Over the past couple of years I have been on a kind of “spiritual journey” that has led me to grow deeper in my faith traditions and grow in my understanding of the world and people around me. For most of my life I have been a “Christian”, though I definitely have not…

    The Path Is Not Always Clear

    Over the past couple of years, there’s been one issue that has seemingly dominated my anxieties. Many nights I have laid in bed, my mind racing, trying to find a solution that seemingly never wanted to be found. I believed that there was no hope for me. What was this particular life issue you may…

  • My Road

    My Road

    For most, if not all, of my life, I have felt like I’ve been on a journey that many others do not get to experience. I have been on the “road less travelled”, and it has not been until recently that I’ve begun to fully understand what that has meant for me. Being more individualistic…

  • My Story of Survival

    My Story of Survival

    I like watching survival shows. Well, really just one show in particular: Naked and Afraid. Even though the participant’s nakedness is intriguing in its own special way, I’m much more interest in how these survivalist make it in the some of the most dangerous environments on Earth. They make their own shelter, hunt for food,…

    We All Have a Little Dragon In Us

    As the human species, I think it’s fair to say that we try to avoid pain at any cost. Pain is seen as something bad, and we absolutely want no part of it. We often question why and for what purpose does pain play in our lives. It’s been a conomdrum that philosophers, theologians, spiritual…
