The Case for Therapy

March 6, 2012

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably noticed a few times when I’ve casually thrown in something about therapy or my therapist. My most blatant mention was just a couple of weeks ago, when I wrote about specific advice my therapist gave me, and my intention to follow through on it. I know there are [...]

It’s so easy to lose track of time in our busy lives. We get overwhelmed with commitments and responsibilities, and sometimes frustration and stress overcome us. I think it’s important to have little reminders about the joys of life. There are a few things I do that help me stay appreciative and inspired, and I [...]

Approximately 65% of the population consists of visual learners. I am definitely one of them. You can explain something to me all you want, and I’ll probably get the gist of it, but it isn’t until I see the details or the steps drawn out in front of me that I really get it. When [...]

Expanding My Mind

February 22, 2012

A couple of weeks ago, my therapist asked me about my career path. We talked about my interests, dream jobs, and the types of opportunities I would love to pursue if nothing was holding me back…and then we talked about what was holding me back. I told her I wasn’t sure that I was qualified [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!  I know some people have strong negative feelings about this day, dubbing it “Singles Awareness Day” and making gagging faces every time they witness a display of love. Personally, I think that kind of pity party is a load of crap. Now, I know what you may be thinking…”You’re married, why should [...]

I just finished reading an awesome book. There was one quote from the main character that really resonated with me. She says: “I’m sorry, but I don’t get it. If we’re supposed to ignore everything that’s wrong with our lives, then I can’t see how we’ll ever make things right.” All too often, we ignore the [...]

Watching the Big Game with the Coca Cola Bears

February 7, 2012

Football has always been my favorite sport to watch. I’ve never been one of those people who watches the Super Bowl just for the commercials. Even if my team isn’t in the game, I’m still interested. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy watching advertisers battle it out on one of TV’s biggest nights. This [...]

From the time I was a little girl, I loved to write. Writing allows you to tell the stories of people, places, things and events. Sometimes they’re real, and sometimes they are a tapestry woven from imagination. As I kid, playing pretend was one of my favorite games. It was so much fun to make [...]

Lost and Floating on the Open Sea

January 31, 2012

I have a confession to make…I’m lost. My brain feels like it’s on the fritz most days, and I’m having trouble focusing. I know I’m not where I want to be, but I’m not sure how to get there. There are days when I share and share, but I feel like no one’s listening anymore, [...]
