The Struggle of Worthiness
Laying down on my yoga mat at the end of my exercise class, we spend five minutes meditating and reflecting. A phrase they share often is "You deserve this moment of peace." This is meant to be a soothing finish to a difficult workout, but it often derails me. Each time my mind starts to wander.

I'll Be Happy WhenTop Story - October 2018
"I'll be happy when..." A common phrase many of us have uttered. I'll be happy when the bills are paid. I'll be happy when my spouse gets home. I'll be happy when we are living in our new home. I'll be happy when I leave this job. I'll be happy WHEN. The problem is every time you reach the WHEN you work towards your next one, never to reach this happiness you long for.

Lifetime List
As a person with a type A personality, I have a deep affection for lists. Anything I can put on a list and later check off makes me feel happier. I have daily, weekly, and monthly to-do lists. It helps me feel organized and accomplished. Whether this is true or in my head, who knows?

The Chameleon
My story: the CliffNotes version. My parents were divorced before I was born. Each parent remarried. Between the two of them I went through four step-parents. I was moved across the country and back before I reached high school. I grew up with the strong notion that everything and everyone was temporary and replaceable. I never liked to grow strong attachments to anything or anyone.
