Often when we think about fear, we associate it with things that we are unable or are afraid to do. Fear is a powerful emotion. Its internal alarm system in our bodies is useful because it lets us know when we are in danger, giving us the opportunity to make different choices in order to avoid harm […]
Out the Other Side of Crisis
I decided to switch things up a little on the blog today and share a little bit more about the work that I get to do each day; though often it doesn’t feel like “work”. This is work that I love and believe me there have been many times along my career path when I […]
Guest Post: No More Excuses
Sometime in my twenties as a young mother and new teacher, I heard the saying: “Excuses are like belly buttons, everybody’s got one…” I believe the rest of the saying was “…and they’re all full of crud” or something like that. But for my purposes as both a teacher and a mom, I didn’t need […]
Dear Caregiver: You are not Alone
Dear Caregiver, I see your eyes and I know how lost you feel right now. I can imagine your thoughts and all of the emotions you are feeling; angry, sad, mad and blaming all at the same time. You are in shock. This child or loved one that you have tried so hard to love through all […]
Dear Sons on Mother’s Day

This Week: Mental Illness in the News
Imagine for a minute that you are all settled in for a cross-country flight and suddenly you become aware of some commotion in the back of the plane.
