When times get tough, we often need a reminder of how to stay grounded. Life can feel overwhelming, and in those moments, it’s easy to forget how a few simple steps can help us regain our balance. That’s why I created my 10-step guide to surviving a challenging era. To be honest, this list is something I composed for myself. I'm feeling the temptation to fall into anxiety, obsession, and despair. Not only is that not good for me, but it isn’t good for the people in my life, locally and virtually. I want to help and serve.  I wrote it as an urgent reminder to myself — one I hope can also o ..read more

I'm often told that I shouldn't do political cartoons and just stick to spirituality. But I learned a long time ago that true spirituality is love, and that love is political.

I call out bullshit in Christianity, the Church, its Theology, and its leaders. I’m also affirming and inclusive (as seen in my cartoons). I believe we all belong.

Not just the physical pain of the attack, but the emotional hurt he suffered when his Satanic Verses ca ..read more

You may have stumbled on this blog simply by searching the phrase “leaving my religion” or “leaving the church”. Just asking that question in your head took a lot of courage.

It exposed how authorities were taking advantage of the poor, turning re ..read more

I’ve been asked for a while now to write a post on book recommendations on the topic of deconstruction. It’s time to admit that I’ve had difficulty fulfilling this request. Why? Because it’s the wrong question. Let me explain… Deconstruction is About Finding Your Own Path The most important factor of deconstruction is finding and expressing your spiritual independence. It means becoming the captain of your own ship and the master of your own destiny. It means climbing out from under authority and becoming self-determining. It means no longer searching or waiting for permission and approval and ..read more
