Hearing “Don’t assume” is a pretty common thing: Check your blind spot changing lanes; don’t assume there’s no one beside you (I saw that car accident last night on main street). Don’t assume it’s a new kind of cheese that has green spots. Don’t assume you can walk it off if your arm is dangling … [Read more...]
Why Disney Gives Me Hope for the Environment
Disney World Florida is like its own city with over 15000 acres of property including six parks, a massive shopping area, highways, bus service, currency through a wristband (paid later by credit card), and a full medical support team including firefighters. What’s really impressive is how well … [Read more...]
The Ultimate Communication Tool
I have met many women who have come in for therapy complaining that their husbands are terrible at communicating. The reality is, however, if your partner is terrible at communicating, there’s a good chance you’re not much better. That’s a fun idea isn’t it? Overall, I find if there’s a problem … [Read more...]
The Great Lie: Everything happens for a Reason

I grew up reading this word in the Bible, which has left me okay with it. Of course, the use of … [Read more...]

This isn’t meant to be insulting to anyone, but rather, it is to help humanize these different labels and give a better understanding of … [Read more...]
Pro or Anti Abortion, We’re Missing the Root
In the early 90s, abortion was a hot topic and led to stories like a Christian fanatic killing an abortion doctor; you know, the thing you expect of a “spiritual” person who is against murder (some people really are special). For some reason abortion has once again become a hot topic (there must … [Read more...]
What Do You Suggest?
Five years ago I was taught when people reach nursing home status they typically ask three basic questions: Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter? These three questions have bounced in my head on and off since I first heard them, and I can confidently say yes to all three because I’ve been blessed … [Read more...]
