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.

hygge
“Hygge is a Danish term that describes a quality of coziness that makes a person feel content and comfortable. It’s also often used as an adjective meaning ‘cozy or comfortable’.” So reads the back of my latest jigsaw puzzle which, unbeknownst to me, comes complete with a ‘nectarine blossom & honey’ candle. “How to Hygge”…
