I’m not her. I’m not him. He doesn’t know me. She doesn’t get me. She sees something in me that I don’t see. I’m not what he wants me to be. I imagine these are the voices that go on and on in our children’s heads as they become teenagers and enter adulthood. And this […]

So this happened. That thing where you labeled someone and they took it to heart. And you didn’t expect them to take it so literally. And you wondered if this is why parenting matters so much when it comes to helping your children label their emotions so that they get to choose what’s happening, not […]

Everyone has a story of hitting an emotional wall. But I’m finding it uncanny when I’m watching it happen to so many amazing people around me. We’re a bunch of smart, driven and talented hot messes. I have to wonder, has this current administration put a damper on our psyche? So this story is one […]

Feedback. It’s a touchy subject in the workplace. If there is no trust, then it doesn’t get to a very productive or even emotionally good place. I’ve come to realize that some people choose to shut out feedback – in which case it could be about not trusting themselves, their response or how they rebound […]

Yes, I’ve been a little obsessive about J R R Tolkien these days. Mostly because the writing was so extraordinary. So clever. So human. Paraphrasing a key point toward the end, Sam says to Frodo: How can the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad has happened. But in the end, […]

As we amble through our lives and look for meaning, we mostly treat our sense of purpose like a sugar high. When the endorphins are on, we feel great. We feel valued and rewarded. We feel smug. And when it’s over, we are back to ambling and not living intentionally. The short lived sugar rush […]

One of the toughest parts about parenting is managing appearances when you’ve had a shitty day. My default might be to get cranky, so I have to intentionally breathe through my angst and put my game face on. If you are a parent, or if you’ve cared for kids, you know it’s not easy. In […]

Courage. It’s one of those words that occasionally solicit my middle finger. I get tired and want to just do nothing or sit with netflix binge watching of White Collar or other mind-candy shows so I can forget my stress. But what I need is courage to get through all of the loss of 2017. […]

I’ve been told at the end of every departure or break up “you’ll be fine”. My gut response is: “Well thanks a bleeping lot. That’s just what I need after a dose of rejection – that I’m bleeping strong and will be bleeping fine. Well bleep you”. And then I sigh and think, well now […]
