This is a story of a constant battle where the battler beat the odds and took the high road. The first two sections focus on: problems, problems, problems/pathology, the author’s battles with disabilities, abuse, trauma, violence, institutions and incarceration. Section three focuses on the complex and intimate relationships within a dysfunctional family system. Relationships of love for his mother, his human savior but enabler; the hate and resolution with his father who was his abuser and his hero. Sections four and five focus on positive change and growth.

What better way to wind down at the end of a long day than to hop in your jammies, stretch,

and listen to a bedtime story? This virtual program will offer six unique, fun story times

released weekly and is designed for children in K-5th. However, children of all ages are

welcome to join in and do what feels comfortable.  The activities presented in the yoga
