Simple Plans

I’m whispering my plans for today in my cat’s ears. She is adorable. I enjoy listening to her soft breathing. A fierce cat, resting beside me before dawn.

I let her know that I’m going to search for fresh pine needles to make natural air fresheners.

Once successful, I’ll buy 1-2 donuts at our local store and watch the mountain sunrise.

I deleted my FB under my cat’s supervision. She said I’d be happier and she might be right

Hi, I’m Alan, and I’m so grateful you’re here. This space is the result of a long, treacherous journey — one marked by survival, healing, and ultimately, freedom. I'm a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence, experiences that once left me feeling isolated and voiceless. For years, my mental health felt like an endless storm. But through the wreckage, I discovered the profound importance of genuine friendship — those rare connections, both near and far, that see you, believe you, and stand with you. One of my greatest joys now is sondering — pausing to marvel at the rich, complex lives of the people who have crossed my path and helped stitch together the fabric of my healing. Each bond, no matter how brief or lasting, has been a spark of hope. My story is also one of movement — not just emotional, but physical. I made the leap to Colorado, seeking a new chapter and the freedom to live more authentically. Here, among the wide skies and new beginnings, I am reclaiming joy, learning to thrive, and offering my story to others who may need a reminder that freedom is possible. Thank you for being a part of this journey, Mr. Northwood
