The Box of Life

"I am trying to get it all together." Sound familiar? All of us try to sort out our life. We use family history, religion, advisors or mentors, pop culture, drugs or alcohol, structured programs or anything else that seems to ease the transitions in our life. "The Box of Life" is the tangled, sometimes messy history of my efforts to understand and make sense of ourselves. Struggles, decisions, working with your feelings all play a part in this process. And a sense of humor helps!

After a life traveling different stages, the observations I make are at the very least, honest. Hopefully it will help others in the struggles to live a full life and bring the capacity for understanding and joy.
