When crap hits the fan
I’ll be honest that I have been procrastinating writing a post for today. I’ve not felt well for the last 2 weeks. And then the last 30 hours happened. I was just about to write my post when my daughter yelled “mom the sink is leaking!” So instead you get pictures of minor catastrophies that…

Inner Analyst
Inner analyst Amelia and I have had a few discussions lately about our inner critic. As we have been discussing it I realized that at some point in my life my inner critic has turned into an inner analyst. What is the difference between an inner analyst and an inner critic? I’ll start with how…

Dr. Shopping
Have you ever been to a doctor, and they recommend a treatment and the treatment doesn’t really work? I have. And guess what? I don’t go back. If the doctor doesn’t listen to me? I don’t go back. If they belittle me? You guessed it, I don’t go back. I call this Doctor Shopping. I…
