Living in Reverse
The traditional path is a worm out one. Perhaps that is just my excuse (justification) for doing life, well, backwards. As I sit this morning in one of my favorite Latin breakfast locales, waiting for my recently adopted rescue husky to finish her “spaw” day, I am...
Living in Reverse
The traditional path is a worm out one. Perhaps that is just my excuse (justification) for doing life, well, backwards. As I sit this morning in one of my favorite Latin breakfast locales, waiting for my recently adopted rescue husky to finish her “spaw” day, I am slowly sipping on my mega chai latte and...
Quiet Moments
If you or anyone you know has taken the long, winding, and often lonely road to healing, you naturally understand the difficulty of the journey. While everyone’s experience is different, the theme is often the same. You learn to be quiet. I’m not talking about...
Happiness is a Full-Time (Inside) Job
Halfway through my first PhD course, it dawned on me: I’m happy. Brow deep in research, writing, editing, coaching, and planning strategy, I am genuinely, for the first time in a long time, happy. In truth, I was not certain that I would ever reach this pinnacle. If I...
Unstuck
Three weeks ago, I started my PhD program. After nearly five years of pondering which path to pursue, I finally landed on one that makes sense: Psychology with a concentrated focus in Crisis and Trauma. Nicely dovetailing my undergrad and master’s degrees, the program...

There’s Got to be a Mourning After
Mourning is a personal and painful journey. In truth, I started to mourn my beloved canine companion, Aiden, long before I lost him. His illnesses were lengthy and required 24/7 care with constant visits and rechecks with his various specialists. As time went on, and...
Aiden Ascending
As the annual cold, and briefly extreme, weather rolled in late December, something else accompanied the change in the air. I noticed he was struggling more to stand and stabilize himself. His stubbornness and unwillingness to come inside during the inclement shifts...
Thirty Things
Back in the old days when magazines were still (gasp) printed on tree pulp, I loyally subscribed to Elle, a woman’s fashion and advice mag that spoke to women of all walks of life and always had a snarky message or two between the pages. One such column with humor and...
Changing Lanes
Man (or Woman) planned, and God laughed. I have made a good career out of being a planner, project manager, disaster testing, business continuity planner, entrepreneurial, and finally, soccer mom. All require some degree of preparation. Secretly, I do not like...
