Originally written by Jackson Browne, including a breakdown in Winslow Arizona, he later worked with Glenn Frey to complete the song. It subsequently became a huge Eagles hit. It’s also a great sing-a-long song; and who wouldn’t appreciate a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin’ down to take a look at me.
Discovering I Was Married to a Narcissist
I first met my spouse in September, 2007. We dated and purchased our home together in December 2009. We were married in April 2010. So, it isn’t as though we rushed into marriage. Things took a turn in February 2012. I wasn’t sure what was happening. I just knew that no matter what I did,…
We Are The Champions
Freddie Mercury wrote “We Are the Champions” in response to the audience’s enthusiastic participation at a concert in May 1977.

Don’t Stop Me Now
A good support network is everything as part of the recovery network. I am fortunate to have such a network. This song has always had special meaning to me. It has even more meaning when sent by a very close friend to aid in my recovery. Freddie Mercury wrote “Don’t Stop Me Now” while recording…
Why Are You Sharing Your Story?
So, why share my story for the world to see? I spent 17 years with my covert narcissist, 14 years married. The first few years were simply amazing. I felt like I truly met my life long dream of a person. Shortly after we married, I did notice little things that didn’t make sense to…
Who Am I?
Who am I? In the words of Joe Walsh, I would consider myself an “Ordinary Average Guy” who got mixed up in a relationship with a covert narcissist. What is a narcissist? At the time, it seemed like nothing more than a commonly used label to describe somebody that you didn’t particularly care for. I…
