Willie Lynch
The document commonly known as the “Willie Lynch Letter” claims to be a 1712 speech given by a West Indian slave owner named William Lynch, instructing Virginia plantation owners on how to psychologically and socially control enslaved Africans. Although historians have widely debunked it as a modern fabrication, the themes it presents have resonated because they echo real practices of division, exploitation, and mental conditioning used throughout the era of slavery.

A Couple Who Thought a Consent Order Would Be Too Expensive
When Mark and I separated, we did what many couples do. We sat at the kitchen table one evening, split everything down the middle on a piece of paper, shook hands on it, and told ourselves that was that. We'd been together for eleven years. We knew each other. We weren't going to be difficult about money.

A Couple Who Couldn’t Communicate, Until Family Mediation Changed Everything
I used to think I was a good communicator. I'd always been the one in the office who could smooth things over, get people in a room, and find the middle ground. So when my marriage ended, I genuinely believed I'd handle it sensibly. We were both adults. We had a daughter. We'd figure it out.

Do I Have To?
Tuesday was a “national” day of celebration, but not all were in celebratory mode. While our nation and other nations were partying and engorging themselves on corned beef, potatoes, cabbage and an over abundance of beer, one person was grieving and going down a rabbit hole of sadness, over the death of a parent.

The Missing Piece
The puzzle piece became a symbol of Autism in the sixties. It represented the puzzling nature of the disorder. Autism Speaks used it too, but they were criticized for pushing for a cure to Autism, rather than acceptance. I am using it today as a symbol for my family's dynamic, having an Autistic family member in residential care.
