Seeing Others As They Are

I remember sitting in my therapist’ office during one of our first visits together and we were diving deep into my past.

She went on … Continue reading Seeing Others As They Are →

Fall, Winter, and S.A.D.

Fall is here and while it can be beautiful it soon turns dreary.

It is like I get this feeling of “why bother getting … Continue reading Fall, Winter, and S.A.D. →

Is 40 the new 30? What is a number and why do we put so much into what age we are?

Fed Up – COVID-19 Addition

This has been brewing in my brain for most of the last 100plus days that I have been in isolation from the world hiding from a virus that would more than likely kill me. How can you be so selfish? Yes, you fellow American. I am pointing at you. Ask yourself the following: Have you … Continue reading Fed Up – COVID-19 Addition →

I could go back and form a very detailed social media timeline but, that isn’t the purpose of this blog post.

Barbie’s what was and what could BE…

Picture the years between 1982-1992, a little blonde hair, shy chubby girl. This little girl was lonely. Her life was very sheltered and cut-off from the rest of the world. She didn’t have friends that were close enough to play with, and this was way before ‘play dates’ were a thing. She grew up around … Continue reading Barbie’s what was and what could BE… →
