This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot of beautiful games. In fact, art style is a major factor for me in choosing a game in the first place and in my ultimate rating of it. For example, Final Fantasy 7 makes pretty much every list of best gamesContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child/Loading…Review of Gris”

Wednesday’s Child: Fallout
I was reflecting on this yesterday, and I think it’s worth saying out loud (so to speak) because I wish someone had said it to me in my marriage.* If you’re in a relationship and you EVER find yourself thinking, “I’m not going to say/do anything to stick up for myself in this situation becauseContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: Fallout”
Wednesday’s Child: Welsh Cookies
I had never eaten Welsh cookies before I met my ex-husband. I think the first time I tasted them was from a care package his mother sent to Texas around the holidays. Petite, tender with butter, redolent of nutmeg and studded with chewy little currents, they charmed me. I liked how they were fried, likeContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: Welsh Cookies”
Wednesday’s Child: The Discard Devotional is Finished!
I’m excited to announce that The Discard Devotional is now published on Lulu.com in either a handsome little pocket book edition or an e-book edition. As I mentioned before, all proceeds go to Awaken, a charity that helps women escape sex-trafficking. If you know someone you think would benefit from the book, you can forwardContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: The Discard Devotional is Finished!”
Excerpt from Discard Devotional: Season Three, Dwelling
Day 72: Galatians 3:28, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” As you are learning more about God’s love for you, and your identity in Him, and how precious you are to Him, it’s important toContinue reading “Excerpt from Discard Devotional: Season Three, Dwelling”
Wednesday’s Child: Excerpt from The Discard Devotional, Season Two: Strength
Day 41: Ps. 41:5, “My enemies speak evil against me, ‘When will he die, and his name perish?’” We’re going to go through almost the entirety of Psalm 41 in this chapter: it’s so smart on the subjects of betrayal and social isolation—and on the Heavenly perspective on these devastating attacks on humanity. Here theContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: Excerpt from The Discard Devotional, Season Two: Strength”
Wednesday’s Child: Excerpt from The Discard Devotional, Season One: Comfort
I’m starting a short series today of excerpts from a project that I’ve been working on for about 3 years, a devotional that I started writing based on the Bible passages that got me through the most intense period of trauma and recovery from narcissistic discard. To be honest I’m nervous about sharing this projectContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: Excerpt from The Discard Devotional, Season One: Comfort”
Wednesday’s Child: The Sword of Damocles
For all of us who are a few years past AP History… “The Sword of Damocles” was an Ancient Greek morality tale about a courtier who wanted to be king. Damocles was a hanger-on in the court of the tyrant Dionysius II of Sicily, and one day he got carried away with his flattery andContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: The Sword of Damocles”
Wednesday’s Child: With your shield or on it
Among the ancient Greeks the Spartans fielded the most feared and skillful hoplites, or infantrymen. They were famous for their ascetic lifestyles, training in martial arts from the age of seven. Spartans disdained luxuries of every sort in order to harden themselves for battle and keep their egos in check. (A visiting traveler once quippedContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: With your shield or on it”
Wednesday’s Child: Emotional Stereovision
During the process of being discarded by my ex-husband, the toughest part to wrap my head around was how, in his head in the space of a week or so, I could go from his beloved wife–whom he posted glowing pictures of and tributes to on social media, whom he told how lucky he wasContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: Emotional Stereovision”
