I came across this super sweet blog post today via Twitter. (I just love how twitter brings me new things I’d never find on my own—thanks, Twitter!) Describing therapy as a “catch 22” is a very accurate description. I mean let’s face it: Therapy works because it is different. It is a change. It is [...]

If you are anything like me, no matter how much you were looking forward to the new year, there’s always a bit of blues that comes with saying goodbye to another holiday season.

Pinterest Did you ever have one of those years? You know, the kind that test you, push you to your limits, make ya question everything and just leave ya feelin’ like you’ve been hit by a bus? Well, that was my 2012. As it’s {finally} coming to a close, and I am doing my [...]

Pinterest Hello! Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve written a post- OK, OK, it’s been almost forever since I’ve paid any attention to my poor neglected blog. I’ve thought about, and even planed out many posts in the time I’ve been MIA, and each time I think, “I gotta get one of those posts [...]
Pinterest I am preparing this blog post ahead of time, as I’ll be on vacation next week. When this is posted I’ll be lounging poolside in Las Vegas basking in the sunshine, floating down a lazy river, and sipping cocktails (hopefully) delivered by some cute cabana boy. I can’t wait!
