Your Bandaid is Hemorrhaging.
Imagine, if you will, a person has cancer and is dying on the inside. Also imagine someone who is a chain smoker for most of their life and on the inside their internal organs are barely functioning any more. And for good measure, maybe picture somebody who just contracted HIV and the internal chaos going […]

The Power I Don’t Have.
You know how life goes. Things are puttering along, or moreso whizzing by, and you’re just livin’ your life. You’re focused on your current task and your thoughts begin to wander. Thoughts of what I will eat later or what I will end up doing tonight. Visions of a child’s birthday coming up or that […]

There Is No Point.
Maybe staying forever single should be what I attain. My separated wife talks about how happy she is with her married live-in boyfriend. All morality aside, she was also once so happy being with me that she married me. Even though you explain it to them repeatedly, certain people think life is puppies and rainbows. […]

2thousandseventeen.
Under five hours to go until 2018 is here and the time has come to say goodbye and let go of two complete different far side of the spectrum mountains in my life that I will not carry into the new year: my marriage and my drinking. Maybe the failure of one dominoed the success […]

Oh, Most Definitely Scathed.
Daily, lately anyway, I’m reminded that one of the most painful parts of this life is loss. Romantic loss, to be specific. It has been said that it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. With this, I agree. Though my heart has been torn to shreds, yet […]

Shock Value.
Emotions are coming hard and fast. I’m not the guy who never cries but I mean overall I am not overly a fountain of raw emotion. The past few days, however, has been a sea of deep feelings and I know their importance. Just a few weeks ago, I had a wife, four children including […]

Tuesday
A recent family scare told through the eyes of 4 of us. Step-Mother ‘I wonder if those girls are okay. I’ll run to the park to check on them.’ Said park is a good distance but I trust they could find it. 1 minute later… I arrive at the destined park, only to realize my […]

Displaced
Recently, Fort McMurray, Alberta, has suffered devastating fires large enough to empty out all 80,000 inhabitants, burning almost everything in its path. It’s a horrific story of natural disaster, not unlike the fires of Slave Lake in 2011 or the vast floods of Calgary in 2013. Multiple tens of thousands of people have been displaced. […]

After The Influence
I’ve never held anyone at knife point, begging for beer money. I’ve never woke up in the morning with the shakes and sweats, and the only cure was a long swig from one of the whisky bottles surrounding the bed. I’ve never put my family out of house and home due to my alcoholic ways. […]

Krista Katers: My Wife in a Nutshell (At The Time..)
My wife Krista is a business woman, through and through. We’ve only known each other for under 18 months so hearing of enterprises of the past plus seeing her in action with our kids… she’s almost all business, and I’m realizing that more than ever. Krista Katers is her newest inception and I, her dedicated […]

365 Days In
I married a girl one year ago yesterday. Fast forward 8700 plus hours later, it’s been quite a ride. But first let’s go back over 525,000 seconds ago to when it all began. I remember the moment she fell in love with me. It’s when I produced that hefty diamond ring, whilst we passed the […]
