I would rather walk away from everything I once begged for than stay where I am not appreciated.

Just Because You Can't See the Way

Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Sharing my writing, art, and lessons learned on Substack while documenting life’s journey and embracing each moment as it comes.
I write about relationships: with humans, nature and god's animals. The extraordinary, horror and humor. My writing entails living life sensually, transforming relationships and being authentic. Without apologies.
I built a business around my kids and a life I actually wanted. Now I write about what it took, and about a system that was never built for it. If you are trying to do the same, you are in the right place.
Published Poet, Caregiver, Bray Bray’s Dad, Xennial, Music Fan, Pickleballer, Substack Community-Builder… Open to collaborating!
