Talk Less. Smile More. Not only is this advice from the hit musical, Hamilton, but it is also advice that I have heard a lot in my life. Well, I\’ve heard the 1st part a lot, the second part not so much as I have always been a smiley person, but I get the first one …
\”Self-Care is just such a waste of time!\” a woman cried, exasperated. I stood there, wide-eyed and at a complete loss at how to respond to that. This presentation on 4\’s seemed to have gone off-track and my workshop attendees had seemingly banded together in their overall disdain for the perceived self-indulgence of the enneagram …
Yesterday, I participated in, what I have been told, was the largest protest in American history: The Women\’s March. It was exhilarating. I haven\’t always been much of an activist. I\’ve voted, sure, but often time for the 3rd party and with a strong sense of feeling like my voice (particularly in the hugely red …
I sit in a daze. I\’m at one of the most fun work conferences in the world and I am distracted by what I think is a devastating conclusion to the vile election that is 2016. Donald Trump has won, the Republicans who backed him took the senate, the house, and the remaining seats on …

*Disclaimer: This post contains spoilers about the How I Met Your Mother Finale. If you don\’t want me to ruin it, stop reading and let the finale ruin it for itself.* Back when I was in middle school and was involved in community theatre, I remember discussing the possibility of making our very last performance …

I have to admit something. As much as I really want to blog a lot and write about fun things like recipes or events or other fun things to do, I don\’t really get all that motivated on a daily basis like a true \”blogger\” would. Maybe it\’s the fact that I spend so much …
I know when something is a big deal in the news because inevitably it ends up on my Facebook. Today, my newsfeed was flooded with this image, supporting gay marriage equality in light of the Supreme Court hearing a case about California\’s controversial Prop 8 (banning Gay Marriage) and DOMA. Needless to say, the gay …
Sometimes I read something that gives me such a strong reaction that I become a little obsessed with it and just have to respond to it. This is a reaction to my friend Kayla\’s post on birth control (BC) vs. natural family planning (NFP), which she wrote forever ago, but I needed some time to process things …
