On this THANKFUL therapy thursday of turkey THOUGHTS, we will celebrate what I am grateful for, and do it again tomorrow because there’s never enough gratitude. Dudes, 2019 was a YEAR. It was, and is, trying and hard and pushing me well past my comfort zone to figure out who I really and truly am…
During my austerity experiment aka spending ban, here are all the things I probably would have bought—and a couple of confessions! Another set of amazing Costco bath sheet towels, because I don’t wash mine enough (so soft, so good, ON SALE for only $26!) Supps from The Genius Brain (should that have counted as food?)…
Aside from therapy wisdom, I’ve also been pulling out lots of good nuggets from yoga recently. Like this one: The gift of impermanence is that things don’t stay the same. Change can be hard; it’s easy to mourn what was. But those shifts are where we eliminate stagnation, and grow. Impermanence is a gift.
I’m the child of two therapists and have a very healthy sense of self-reflection, which you’ve read here on this blog and on dailyhap.com. But the time had come for me to step outside of my comfort zone and own head and seek professional mental health help. Nervous, my first foray was into online, chat-based…
Solidarity + Clarity + Austerity I first titled this post “New Month, New Me,” but it’s already October 9 so it’s not really new depending on how you round, but because that’s all arbitrary anyway, who cares? Besides, you’re never a new you, you’re always just a version, growing or declining, not new, just you.…
I won’t stop pursuing sublime happiness. I don’t always know what that looks like, but I know it when I feel it. I won’t forget to be vulnerable. I forgot earlier this year that this was my goal, but I won’t lose sight of this need again. I won’t see all the places in the…
It me. I will soon be honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as one of Austin’s Finest at Backyard Ball, an event recognizing outstanding young professionals in my community. In accepting this distinction, I have committed to raise money to help the Foundation realize its mission of controlling and curing cystic fibrosis (CF). I didn’t…
Yoga is important to me from a physical and mental standpoint, but I admit I haven’t much gotten into the chakra part of yoga. I know the 7 chakras and I love when teachers bring them into class, but my own study has been minimal. So when Plant Therapy reached out and asked if I…
Can you imagine being friends, by choice, with someone for twenty seven years?! It seems like forever, but that’s how long my childhood bestie and I have been friends, and this past weekend with her in town was the closest I’ve felt to her in years. I am SO lucky to have her in my…
OVERALLS I don’t know what they’re made of, I don’t know how to explain how to get to the store that appears to have no regular hours (I pushed open an ajar door), I don’t even know how on earth I, of all people, ended up COVETING a pair of overalls but I did and…
