Ending People Pleasing
I have been a people pleaser for longer than I can remember. My grandparents would visit and I sought their approval I would get someone who would sit down and talk to me and I would shower them with gifts. I always struggled to say no. Anybody who has read some of my work knows that I was not really respected by my parents. They denied I had debilitating disabilities that affected me and my behavior. Notably amongst those disabilities is a form of autism. As young as age 4 I heard that I was an embarrassment. Those words alone made me leave childhood and start to feel I was alone and had to fend for myself.

Lawrence Lemieux
Canada is known for some historic and heroic people. We often think of Tommy Douglas-a leader who started the universal healthcare and did extensive work for mental health reform. Who can forget Terry Fox, a young man who raised more awareness and money for cancer than anyone I can think of. His dedication and courage defied science and he ran over 100 marathons back to back with only one good leg. However being from Edmonton, I thought another name was in order. Yes, Edmonton had a history of being The City of Champions wit the likes of Wayne Gretzky, and currently has a star studded hockey team. But the Heroic Goat in my opinion goes to Lawrence Lemieux.

Dear Estranged
Dear Estranged loved ones, As much as it pains me to talk about it, I have cried too many tears that I feel the life has been taken right out of my eyes. You treated me differently and judged me in my times of need. However, all is not only forgiven, but I would like to express my gratitude.
