If you know me you know I love books! Like love them! I read every single day. Sometimes I read multiple books at once, you know like an old book to help me sleep…a new book I can only read on the weekends (because I’ll never go to bed on time otherwise) and then one …

I took a break from blogging and social media for a bit because things had gotten really hard. When life is stressful and you’re feeling uncertain it can be really tough to show up for the day to day activities. It felt like blogging would be a good place to take a break and make …

I learned a valuable lesson recently. I went apartment hunting with my daughter in Arizona. We planned this trip for spring break because this summer she is graduating from college and moving out on her own. It’s so exciting!

My private practice is thriving and I’m doing really well. I’ve got plenty of clients and I’m not nearly as stressed financially. At one point I was working three jobs, and I’ve gone down to two. Now I’m ready to transition fully to focusing on my private practice and only work one job! Great news …

Today I was reading an email from a list I’ve subscribed to and I noticed it was the same email I’d read a couple of months ago. My first thought was….hmm, okay. Recycling emails. That’s cool I guess. Then I realized that I really loved that email the first time so I was actually excited …

Last night as I was getting ready to think about bed a friend asked if I wanted to do a video call. The answer was a resounding yes and we did the call. I went to bed way too late and it was totally worth it! We talked about thinking errors also known as cognitive …

Valentine’s Day is all about love. Honestly it’s often about romantic love. That’s probably why it’s irritated me for years. Romantic love and commercialism. I’ve pretty much ignored it for quite some time now. But recently I’ve been reflecting on just how important love really is to me. Love for friends and family, the love …
