I have been hearing a lot lately about not being serious 24/7. This is something I can struggle with in my life, especially right now, during this pandemic. I am so grateful for my kiddos who help me to remember to have fun. Playing and not being serious helps me...

What can we control during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Wow. Just wow. COVID-19. Just saying it, speaking it, seeing it written, it strikes fear in many of us, anxiety in some, terror in others, grief in still others, or even a combination of more than one emotion in many of us. Sometimes there are no words to make things...
Talk Therapy without Talk: Brainspotting
How would you like to attend therapy, and potentially not even have to talk during therapy? You don’t have to worry about someone judging you for what you’ve said, or done, or are wanting to do; you can just go and work through all of it without uttering a word? This...

Failure, what a weird, small word that packs a powerful punch to the gut. I mean a sucker punch to the gut that knocks us completely off our feet. When we want to try something, but worry about 'what if it fails"...and we are completely crushed. We can't move, can't...
