Happy Holidays
From one survivor to another, have a very happy, healthy, and peaceful holiday.
Or, at the very least, enjoy the time away from the hustle of the work day and look forward to a new year of healing in 2015.

Great Holiday Weekend
Yes, here in the US, it was Independence Weekend, which also happens to coincide with my birthday. (Yes, having your birthday be a National Holiday and never have to work, is pretty freakin’ awesome!) Anyway, this year was a pretty big milestone, as I turned 40. No, I’m not all that upset about it. Frankly,…
Dealing with Stress – Everyone’s Different
Recently, I’ve seen a number of different articles with suggestions on how to deal with anxiety and stress, and how much of an impact that can have on your mental health. There are some that we’ve seen many, many times. Things like getting more exercise, and meditation can, in fact, be very useful tools in…
The Importance of Just Listening
The people who helped me, and continue to help me, are the ones who will ask me questions and then just listen. They want to hear my story, even though they can’t fix it. They know that they can help by just giving me a space to tell my story, without worrying about the need to fight off their attempts at fixing something that may or may not be relevant at all to my situation. (i.e. I’m glad your cousin felt better after a walk in the forest, but that’s not what is happening here!)
So please, just listen. Make the space around you, even if it’s virtual, a safe space for your friends and loved ones to tell their stories. Find small ways to help, if you can, but also know that by just listening, just sitting with our stories, you are already helping so much.

Social Media Connections and Stigma
Earlier this week, I wrote a post on what I refer to as my “day job” blog about how admission offices do actually look at the social media profiles of prospective students. I went on to talk about something that I write about often, using social media to put your best professional image out so…
Weighing in
Just an update to the goal of getting in better physical shape in 2006. After 3 weeks of regular workouts I was somewhat disappointed to find that I had only lost 4 pounds. I was hoping the wieght loss would be a little more than that, but then I remembered what the goal was, it…
