I'm an experimental psychologist who eventually found a path to #SelfLove and a perspective of #Gratitude. It was harder than it had to be.
Working on finding my voice as a self-appointed philosopher of #therapy.
Hoping to build a small community, help others to find their own paths, and maybe share in a little bit of wisdom along the way.

I appreciate the favorites!
But candidly, only boosts spread the idea.
Boosts are what I'm asking for.
Online dating apps are terrible, and meeting people in the wild is hard.
I just ran across a new social experiment, Pear Ring. The idea is, singles wear this aqua-colored silicone ring to signal they're open to meeting and talking with people.
Who knows if it'll get traction, but it'd be great if there were some alternative to online dating platforms.
I'm not affiliated with the organization doing this. But I feel like there's a timeline where this helps people.
The Texas Observer is about to shut down. It's been a bastion of fair news and challenging viewpoints in a (now) deeply red state for nearly 70 years.
Our donations to their GoFundMe in the next half-hour have a chance to save it. https://www.gofundme.com/f/laid-off-texas-observer-journalists-and-staff
The very witty 2023 banned words list from Lake Superior State University! Apparently a fine tradition since 1976!
Time for a little light dusting of the vocabulary going into the new year :)
I'm not religious. I'm not particularly spiritual. I'm pretty hard-core scientific.
But increasingly I find this suspicious: If our souls are so completely unprepared to deal with the common stresses and traumas of this world, how could they have been borne of it?
Just to add... we're trying out a different format for the book club.
In this format, everyone reads a book THEY want to read. Then they get to tell the group about what they've read.
Hopefully this keeps people more engaged (they don't have to read books they're not personally excited about) and exposes all of us to ideas and writing we'd never have run across otherwise.
Should be fun!
