Some assisted living residences (ALR) provide good and safe care to elders. Most directors of admissions are honest and caring. However, a substantial portion of ALR provide poor and dangerous care and use deceptive marketing practices. This poem is based on the devastating experiences of hundreds of families whose loved ones were neglected, abused, and financially exploited in ALR in Minnesota….

Our old lives are gone, and the new world has not been created yet. We’re in an in between state right now, and this can feel really shaky for a lot of us.
There is a way that this in-between state, before the new reality emerges, can cause us to distract ourselves, to be pulled in a thousand directions, and to question everything we’re doing.
If that’s happening for you, you’re not alone. This in-between state of emergence can feel chaotic.
It’s also filled with immense possibility.
It’s in this in-between state that we get to reinvent ourselves. Reinvent who we want to be, what kind of impact we’d like to create. We get to reinvent the new world, as it emerges!
Let me repeat that: from this in-between, chaotic state … we get to reinvent the world.

“Only recently have I realized that being different is not something you want to hide or squelch or suppress.” ~Amy Gerstler
I grew up during the traditional times of the sixties and seventies. Dad went out to work and earned the family income, while Mom worked at home raising their children. We were a family of seven. My brother was the first-born and he was followed by four sisters. I was the middle child.
I did not quite know where I belonged. I oscillated between my older two and younger two siblings, feeling like the third wheel no matter where I was.
I was the one in my family that was “different.” I was uncomfortable in groups, emotionally sensitive, intolerant of loud noises, and did not find most jokes funny. Especially when the jokes were at …

“The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.” ~Rumi
The quarantine has felt oddly familiar. That’s because I spent thirteen years largely homebound with a mysterious, viral-like illness. It even started with a cold on a flight back from Asia in 2005.
My nose was an open faucet, and my head felt like the cumulus clouds outside my window. When I returned to San Diego, I was so weak and exhausted, I could hardly get out of bed. My brain and body were on fire.
I couldn’t focus or recall names of coworkers. Although I’d previously been able to fall asleep in action movies and moving vehicles, I suddenly had severe insomnia. I existed in a perpetual state of tired and wired.
I tried desperately to return to my profession as a broadcast journalist. But what goo…

I personally build the best, healthiest relationships when I put my whole self out there. I’m not simply an autistic trans person who lives with mental illnesses like complex PTSD, anxiety, and depression — I’m someone with a great capacity for joy and love. I’m not defined by any one word or experience. Not even “queer” can define or encapsulate me.
I’m obsessed with Carly Rae Jepsen and the Mamma Mia movies, and Taco Bell, and ice skating. I tweet too much. I practice tarot and astrology and never s…
