Do you know when basketball or soccer players fall to the ground intentionally to try to draw a penalty? But, just like the Griswold’s turkey at Christmas, it can be so overdone that you can’t help shake your head at the display. We live in a hyper-sensitive time where the line between what’s ok andContinue reading “You’re So Sensitive”

Lore Living
What is the story you tell of your life? Is it tragic? A story of hardships, if only’s, and passed me by’s. Or is it triumphant? A tale of browbeating challenges, of overcomings, and breakthroughs. Or a nightmare? A tribute to your traumas, inescapable monsters and demons, and fears. We can’t help but cast ourselvesContinue reading “Lore Living”
Sweet Relief
I need to update you about on client from yesterday. They are alive and well and showed up right on time for their 3 pm appointment. So that’s a relief. Rule #1: Please don’t email me a message that leads me to believe that you might kill yourself and then turn your phone off. (BecauseContinue reading “Sweet Relief”
Fantastical Voyage
A cabin in the woods, a patterned quilt over a cozy bed, a lit fireplace, and my feet propped up on a recliner. I get ideas of getting away and being alone. Then reality sets in, and I feel conflicted. I know I’d likely feel guilty for not bringing my family. So would it beContinue reading “Fantastical Voyage”
Nothing To See Here
My oh my! Today was sure slam-packed full of clients. I’m a bit dizzy from it all. But since it’s Thursday that means it’s my Friday. And that it’s Friday, that means the weekend’s here. I’m not going to tell you my password, but it does have the word Spain and the number 2023 inContinue reading “Nothing To See Here”
Human Tongue
Do I overcomplicate things? Or do I complicate things just the right amount? Maybe I should ask Mr. Owl from those old Tootsie Roll commercials. What I’m trying to say is: The world may never know. Our house smells like pho’. Well, I think so anyway. Dave’s sniffer smells Indian food. All day, potpourri withContinue reading “Human Tongue”
I Scream
A “For You” video of “8 Spring Cleaning Hacks” on YouTube caught my eye – leading to my not blogging as soon as I would have liked. Sorry. The video’s creator had 65,000 views after only 12 hours. And since I enjoy tips, I, too, pressed play. I’m here to say this: watching other peopleContinue reading “I Scream”
Tick Tock
Ideas pitch themselves at me like groupies trying to get backstage for a concert. “Hold up, hold up,” I say, hands pumping them back. “Nobody’s getting let in tonight.” Some protest, others sulkily turn away, and a portion questions my authority and calls me names. But so you know, I heard you: Idea: Talk aboutContinue reading “Tick Tock”
Acting With Class
Don’t you love it when someone’s genuine? For me, it’s like an art form, the way one is able to speak to my softest bits and make me feel alive. Whereas everyone else will be talking about how Will Smith slapped Chris Rock across the face at the Oscars, I’m more interested in Lady GagaContinue reading “Acting With Class”
Squeaky Wheel
I have the fuzzies from staring off in the distance. How would you describe the stares? For me, reality gets all scrambly, and it’s like tv is bustling with red and black ant-like pixels. It was a perfect day today. Although there were no grand slams or home runs, a solid bunch of base hitsContinue reading “Squeaky Wheel”
