I decided to do something new this week. I have felt some fear and trepidation, some frustration, and a lot of stress. In all of this, I think I lost track of the really important things. So this week, I began noting on Facebook (each morning) the things for which I was grateful. I wrote…
It’s easy to get caught up in daily minutiae. Laundry, grocery shopping, bills, traffic, and scores of other relatively insignificant issues and events. It is even easier to become preoccupied by health problems, potential heart surgeries, and minimally torn rotator cuffs. How many of these things will really matter in 10 years? How about in…
Oh boy. That’s both scary and liberating. I have so closely managed my diet and exercise for the past 27 months. Now I am asked to change things. Lots of things go through my mind… What will happen if I make changes this drastic? What will my pre- and post-workout snacks look like if I…
I met with my cardiologist Friday and for the second time in a month, she said something about asking myself “why me?” This is not a question that I ask myself. It just never occurs to me. What are we asking when we ask this question? Why me and not someone else? Why me, I…
Really? You think so? Somehow, unless you have been in this situation, I don’t think you could possibly understand! I learned a lesson about empathy this week. Someone said these words to me. We therapists (yes, including me) frequently use this very statement with our patients. Unfortunately, not only is it an untruth, it is…
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a relatively new therapy (about 30 years old) as compared to psychoanalysis. It has more of a wellness approach than many other therapies. A primary focus of ACT is identification of personal values and making efforts to live one’s life in service of those values. ACT recognizes that when…
In the fall of 2007, we moved back home. Nothing had changed and everything had changed. I had a new job, new skills and perspective, and of course…more bumps in the road. I had been promised that this new job would bring a significant amount of responsibility and leadership. However, I found myself a staff…
Sometime in 1995 (my mid 30’s), I began to change. Mind you this was not an overnight process. Rather, it was the beginning of a process that continues to this day. My husband and daughter went to northern Alabama with the church. They were going to help build and repair houses. I stayed home, probably…
On March 6, 2010, I drove to Homewood Ski Area for a much anticipated women’s ski clinic. I had high hopes that this would help me elevate my skiing to another level. It was a pleasant drive and I arrived on time. There were two instructors and 4 other women…yes, I noticed they were all…
I began this blog on another site and never moved forward. I begin again with that same post… This is my first post. I hope to use this blog to keep track of my journey and to inspire others to embark upon their own journeys. Although I believe that destinations are important, I know that…
