What a Perfect Day

Am I allowed to just tell you all I had a good day? Do I have to figure out a creative way to do so? Can I just make a list of what I did today?
Okay, thanks for giving me permission. I’ll tell you what makes up a perfect day for Donny.
First, [...]

Let Her Speak For Herself

I just received this as a comment on my post about The Game. I feel it deserves it’s own blog entry.
Donny,
I am a former model for you, I do not want to use my name because of what I experienced with that, but I did want to comment. I have been reading your blog [...]

Don’t you wanna take your old myspace down??? Ewww.

The title of this post is an exact copy and paste of an email I received from Wendy at 6:30PM yesterday. My reply was:
” Yeah, you’re right. I need to take it down. Thanks for prompting me.
You’re a great inspiration to me, Wendy. I appreciate you immensely. I [...]

Counseling, Every Man’s Battle, and About That Ex-Wife

COUNSELINGI recently accepted the advice of a trusted friend to start receiving counseling. I’d been of the mindset that any healing I needed could be done on my own and in church with God’s help. I gave no respect to the “counseling” idea. It was time to do so. [...]

Closure

Belinda came yesterday with her best friend and took the last few things remaining in the house that belonged to her. Looking back, I can’t think of a better way to part. It was a beautiful afternoon. There was laughter, tears, and some very meaningful dialogue between us.
It’s time to move on.

Dear Mark,

I am writing because we once professed to be friends. Regardless of whether that was really ever true, I’d like to appeal to that part of you anyway. I’m writing in an attempt to reach anything inside of you that might have a shred of decency. I’m writing about Belinda.
I wanted to [...]

The 19 Year Old Girl

(This post goes hand in hand with The Game. Based on some of the emails I’ve received after that post it became apparent that some people had the wrong idea on where blame should lie. Perhaps that’s just the way people are: blame the other person to help the person speaking with [...]

248.5 and a Walking Trail

Donny at 271 lbs –>(click to enlarge)
I hate talking about my weight, because it’s pretty high. I’ve been shedding the lbs slowly but surely since I surrendered my life to God in September but haven’t been talking about it here on the blog. It’s apparent I’m a “big guy” but I didn’t want [...]

Letter Writing

Here’s another quick, short blog entry for the night. I’m not going to take the time I normally take to try wording it right. I normally take about an hour or more per entry and try to make things interesting.
I’ve been receiving counseling lately and it’s really helping a lot with some of [...]

Jen From Oklahoma

Thank you. I appreciate the book very much.
So many blog readers have sent encouraging emails. Some of you have sent books. I am touched. You guys are amazing. This “thank you” extends to all of you as well.
