All good things don’t necessarily end, they change like the seasons…
“All good things” is a place for anyone with OR without chronic illness, debilitating illness, disability, or the carers for us to come and get away for 5 minutes to have a read and a piece of hope. Goodness can come out of hardship, and darkness can cloak itself for only so long until it bursts into the light.
Warmly,
Jonathan
“Hope is the last thing that dies. Maybe because hope is one of those dratted things that is truly, honestly, genuinely immortal.”

One Lifetime Isn’t Enough
One lifetime is not enough. It feels selfish to write these words; still I do at age 43.
Some will say I’m cutting myself out of roles I could be cast in by disclosing this number.
Some will say that the act of writing creative nonfiction will tank my teaching career.
Some will say I am fulfilling a prophecy by manifesting what I write.
Return to Start
That’s your chapter right now. I’ve faced the disease–now it’s time to walk with the illness. From surgeries to being hit by a car, I faced a few things that seem like a really twisted fairytale this year. Very unexpected things. I’ve gone to rehabilitation to get back to where I was one year ago. I returned to start.
My Language is Hope
I started All Good Things as a resignation letter from my job: I used the SEO: “A former special needs educator faces a rare disease, using writing to learn to live with disability in this next chapter of life.”
