I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
What notable things happened today? To be notable is to stand out. Days that blend into each other often offer little that is notable. It could be that what was notable was that you got up from your chair at least ten times. As I look back on […]
This year has not been kind. It’s been one challenge, devastation, or roadblock after another. People widely remark on my strength. And, that I do have. However, everything takes a toll eventually. Unrelenting Unbelievable Unbearable Unfortunate Uneasy Unkind Uncertain Unmoored Untethered Unappealing But hopefully unbreakable
It seems that everywhere I turn, I’m confronting a lie. Misinformation. Masking of reality. Some people talk real fast to push through what is not true. Some spin a hundred and one stories to keep you from digging deeper. Let me tell you something. Just straightforward. We are […]
