Hey friends, California, Texas, Arkansas, Virginia, wow, you guys, I’m happy to see you visiting again! Do you remember Plucky Duck from Tiny Toon Adventures? One of my favorite episodes of his is with the elevator, “No you push the button, I push the button. I push the button. Not your turn, my turn. I push the button.” And after his mom sweetly says,…
Hey friend, It’s been a while. Fortunately, or unfortunately, my schedule has changed, so, for now, I am putting a pause on my visits to Dr. M. However, it’s only a pause. But I do want to tell you that I dreamt of her again. It was a few nights ago, and I haven’t been able…
Hey friend, I saw Dr. M yesterday, and can I tell you what she said? She pointed out that I was playing small. I’m minimizing she said. Quite frankly, I’m hiding and I don’t want to be seen. And that, dear friend, is something I need to work through. People can be mean. But, I’m…

I find myself impatiently waiting for the “better” to arrive. I can’t seem to shake the word “neglect.” The logical part of me…
Hey friend, Do you remember Lamb Chop’s Play-Along? Lately, my days are like one of their most annoying songs. “This is the song that doesn’t end, yes it goes on and on my friends, some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because, this is the…
Hey friend, It’s me again. I know it’s been a while, but I’ve been, how do I put this? I’ve been navigating through some caca! How do you navigate healthy boundaries while also showing up for your loved ones? If you have the secret sauce, please do share! The last week was rough, with a…
Hey friend, There’s so much to say, and I have no idea where to start. The feeling of impending flooding is never fun. I’ve been learning and healing so much lately that, as of today, I have a different view of that foreign thing that stirs up in my chest and bubbles up into my lungs right…
