Stay out of my business

Why is it there are so many people in this country who seem to think that they get to make decisions for others? You are totally entitled to make your own decisions, as long as you are not hurting anyone. But you are totally NOT entitled to make anyone else’s decisions – especially if you . . . → Read More: Stay out of my business

Dad

This week it has been a year since my father died. I didn’t get to see him a lot, for a lot of reasons that are no one’s fault: my health and the fact that we lived in different parts of the country are a few. That hasn’t made his being gone any easier. Even . . . → Read More: Dad

Take good care

We are very close to the end of the election, and it is scary out there. I don’t know about you, but I am feeling overwhelmed. It is important for all of us to remember to take care of ourselves. I have to unplug and get away from the madness once in a while. I . . . → Read More: Take good care

Stop judging

I think we should all decide to stop passing judgment on others. Other people get to make their own decisions and their own mistakes, and we can care deeply about these people but we do not get to make their decisions for them. We can support them as much as we can, and we can . . . → Read More: Stop judging

Choices & decisions

I am always learning from sessions with my clients – and I hope I always do!  Today we were discussing how not only do we get to make our own choices, but others in our lives get to make their own choices as well.  And we may not always agree with the choice . . . → Read More: Choices & decisions
