Ways To Support Each Other Through Stressful Life Changes
Even the healthiest relationships can put pressure on each other when there are stressful life changes that could be a change of career, moving, health issues, or family changes. These are the times when uncertainty, emotional exhaustion, and tension may occur and may complicate communication and connectedness. The initial step to giving good support is knowing the effects of stress on both partners. It is important to understand that emotional reactions can be different and that patience is a key factor that will enable the couples to treat challenges with understanding. The consciousness of the possible relational effect provides the basis of cooperative solving of issues and greater emotional strength in transitional stages of life.

Separate is Never Equal
There’s a profound shift in the weather, the Earth is stretching and calling us outside. And I am split in two. I’m going to need my morning coffee, if only for show. I’ll sip it as I walk to class. Pretending I’ve gotten used to the bitterness. Pretending I don’t hear the chanting on the street.

Winter Was Storytime Growing Up As A Child . Honorable Mention in The Ritual of Winter Challenge. Top Story - December 2025.
While growing up in my family, there were lots and lots of stories. Stories from children's books were read, mostly at bedtime, and there were stories told year-round. Stories that weren't written. Stories that were very old and taught a lesson or told of why things are the way they are.

Hiding Away Until the Tinsel Melts. Content Warning.
When I was younger, in a younger man’s—no, a younger boy’s—shoes, I bought into the magic of the Saturnalian festivities that followed the last fall of brown leaves onto concrete and grass.

It was joyous in its pomposity and, for me, rooted in imperfect humanity.
