“This is the way.” -The Mandalorian, (repeated line), S1.Ep3: Chapter 3: The Sin “Radical acceptance rests on letting go of the illusion of control and a willingness to notice and accept things as they are right now, without judging.” -Marsha M. Linehan, PhD I remember learning about a live-action Star Wars series mentioned by the team at Lucasfilm, that they were finally going to create the needed Star Wars TV series, and it would be released on Disney Plus. I was enthusiastic to learn it would have one of my favorite character … [Read more...]

A Fable About Friendship: The Rabbit & the Porcupines
The Rabbit and the Porcupines is a fable about friendship. Specifically, the struggles that come from a friendship with someone who is very different from you.

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below after reading the story. As part of my One Word focus for 2020, I am writing some fables and short stories throughout the year. This is my … [Read more...]

Encouragement for When a Friend Abandons You
When a friend abandons you, it shocks you to the core as you realize the ground of friendship you once relied on has been swiped out from underneath you, leaving you in confusion and pain. There's often a wave of self-doubt that follows. Why don't they want me anymore? Why don't they like me enough to stay? Did I do something wrong? Was I not good enough? Losing a close friend can be as hard as (sometimes even harder than) a breakup and more personally painful than a death because they CHOSE life without you. It may cause you to doubt other … [Read more...]
10 Ways Reading Mental Health Blogs Improves Your Self Esteem
Many of us struggle with poor self-esteem, self-image or self-love and as horrible as it sounds there are many reasons for our struggle. From a young age we are taught to behave a certain way, think a certain way and look a certain way to be socially accepted. For example, when I was younger I was given a Barbie (as many 90’s babies did) and was taught that to be beautiful I must be skinny with long straight hair. Those of you that have read my blog know that I am far from that. If I dressed in a way that was not socially acceptable, I … [Read more...]
