happy monday
Last week was a bit difficult for me. In writing my other blog, I dredged up memories I thought I had processed and moved forward from. As I typed out my family experiences growing up, and the clinical applications of addictive families, I was surprised at becoming so emotional. Allowing my mind to wander among…

i’ll take Rubens
It’s Friday and I am going to have to rant a little bit. I am so tired of America’s obsession with ultra thin, anorexic glorification, while bombarding us with unhealthy food ads and unattainable photoshopped goddesses of thinness. Full disclosure, I have spent most of my life watching my weight climbing up and down the…

about hoarding
My Mother was a champion hoarder. In the final years of her life, I took the responsibility of dissembling the Mt. Everest of six or seven decades of her inability to discard virtually any item.

pie, pi, π

leaping
Leap day suggestions: – end a toxic relationship, the anniversary remembrance comes every 4 years – find something that costs or ends in 29 cents – get 29 dollar bills and spend frivolously – get a jump rope or small trampoline and leap 29 times – walk 29 steps 29 times (that’s approximately 900 steps)…

24 hour detox
That would be the digital detox I am planning to attempt. I think we all should. As a social scientist, I purchased my first computer 40 years ago. Oh the miracle. A person could type ten pages and easily edit. Rejoicing that liquid correction goo would become obsolete, I completed my first advanced degree, thrilled…
