Inspired to write after watching a particular scene unfold on television, I was forced into rumination about my feelings on pictures and their placements within homes... have a listen, you'll see what I mean. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amedicsmind/message

July 6th is a tough day for me, historically speaking. I am doing my best to stay out of the deep end of the depression pool, so I wrote a story that engenders some happier ruminations. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amedicsmind/message

A day late but none the less relevant; here is my Father's Day post.  Father's Day has always held obfuscating meaning for me. It had typically been a day not celebrated in my family, and rightfully so. But that does not change the fact that when I was kid, this day and its festivities were always something that provoked a stir of introspection for me. I write about that in this story of my father... #fathersday  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amedicsmind/message

This episode is a little lighter and may even elicit a chuckle or two, hopefully...  This story takes place during my military days. Specifically, basic training. I wrote this to remember something more fond during this time of uncertainty and an unrest. I hope you like it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amedicsmind/message

On this episode I speak about the cover of my book and how it came to be. I explain the nuance behind the capture. Is it a simple selfie? Surely not. Have a listen, see what you think. #yyz #ptsd #paramedic --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amedicsmind/message

Hello, folks! Sorry for the delay in getting these things out consistently, but I'm trying. On this episode I figured I would chat with you all about some of what's been on my mind during these new and uncertain times. The new "normal" so-to-speak. #covid19 #isolation --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amedicsmind/message

Sorry it's been a while, folks. On this episode I read a story that I wrote and a story that was written for me by a very dear friend. My hope is that this episode can add some levity to the heft of our new every day lives... Things are uncertain out there at the moment and there is only so much of it that we can control. Hopefully this can act as a brief respite for the heaviness of it all. #covid19 #stayhome --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amedicsmind/message
