New Year’s Tradition – Favorite Photos of 2012

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

An annual tradition around here is to put together a Flickr Set of my favorite photos from the past year. 2012 was a busy, busy year and brought about some very unexpected changes for me professionally, ones that caused our lives to be much different than we expected too! Your personal life can’t help but be impacted when you start traveling as part of your job. 😉

So, for the year 2012, here are my favorites pics. Click the play button to view as a slideshow, or simply browse through all 42 of them at your own speed. You can also view them on Flickr if you don’t have Flash available.

As I look forward to 2013, I realize that for all the traveling I do, I rarely bring anything more than my iPhone for taking photos, and rarely even pull that out. I need to change that. I should be trying to take advantage of being in different places and try to create more photo memories of those trips. Granted, it can be hard to do when you spend all day in front of a group of folks, but I should be thinking more about taking photos while out walking around as opposed to waiting until it’s vacation time and I have my DSLR with me. At least that will be the goal, so perhaps the collection of 2013 will have more iPhone/Instagram photos as I capture what I happen to see!

Thanks for following along here on this little site, whether you’ve been here for years, or just discovered it in 2012. I hope 2013 is going to be a great year for you!

When Trauma Response are Helpful – And When They Aren’t.

In the big picture, the thing I know that I need to do is to be aware of when I’m in that mode and act accordingly. There can be some great benefits to hypervigilance and there can be some real downsides. If I’m aware of it, I can scan the environment as necessary without ignoring other important, but not dangerous, bits of information, and watch out for my own overreactions. I can consciously use the skill that I learned as a trauma survivor for my own good without it wrecking my day-to-day life or causing more anxiety.

It’s a tricky line to walk, and I’ll be the first to admit I don’t always do it so well.

Sad News – The loss of a mental health advocate and friend

It’s been some time since I was a guest on her show, and it’d even been a few months since we talked, so it wasn’t until today that I learned about the loss of Tiffany Werhner earlier this week. To say that I was shocked, and saddened, doesn’t even come close to what I’m really feeling today.
