Underneath the addiction
I can’t truly understand what being homeless is like. I can only imagine being in a tent with absolutely nowhere else to go. No friends. No family. No money. Nothing. That tent is your last life raft on planet earth. I can only imagine the fear and anger and worry that time in your life…

Summit County Democrats Are Insane With Power
In Akron you must always remember the saying: Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

We are all addicts
A friend of mine came to our homeless village recently. She said she was literally shaking after reading some of the things people said about the homeless and me. Humans that feel sheltered by the anonymity of social media say some pretty shocking things. “They are all drug addicts.” That’s the number 1 thing people…

It’s time we start talking about politics
I’ve very consciously been disciplined in the topics I talk about. Like all of us, I have a lot thoughts and beliefs on many topics. But I try to stay focused mostly on homelessness (and my spiritual journey working with the homeless). I do that simply because many topics have become electrified with division and…

How Addiction Has Shaped My Life
Simply put: If you judge addicts you either A) don’t understand the first thing about addiction or B) you’re lying to yourself. Have you ever found yourself binge eating an entire family size bag of Doritos because you’re stressed? That’s addiction. You lost control of yourself. Have you ever spent an entire sunny Saturday binge…
