If you’ve been around my blog for a while, you know that I have a fascination with happiness and happiness research. As a working therapist, I sat with people who admited to having the life they wanted and they weren’t happy. I worked with felony offenders who had nothing – no money, no status, barely… Continue Reading

A break from Thursday Thirteens
Since the next two Thursdays are holidays, I’m going to give myself this Thursday off the Thursday Thireenage. I’ll post something tomorrow, but not a TT. M’k?… Continue Reading
Thanks John!
In my life time, I saw a great man destroy his career, shame himself and usher in this current time. I was at Berkeley when he was nominated to the Supreme Court. You can imagine the conversations! The dialog! The fear! As it turns out, this man did a decent job of steering the Supreme Court…. Continue Reading
Simply Kind Tuesdays – Week 7 : Cookie anyone?
“Oh my God, please don’t give me all of those cookies!” Be honest. How many times have you thought this, but said instead: “Gosh, thank you so very much! You are too kind.” This year, we are accepting the cookies with abandon, then spread the cookie love. We made truffles, peppermint bark and, of course,… Continue Reading

Thursday Thirteen : What does your underwear mean?
After a year of Thursday Thirteens, I thought I would do some deep research and share with you what YOUR underwear means about you. Thursday Thirteen #52 – Your underwear: 1. Thong - I know what it means to ‘feel the burn’ from lunges. 2. Panties - I’m all about the comfort. 3. Grannie pants - I’m… Continue Reading
Garage economy
When I graduated from college, the US was in a recession. No one could even get interviewed for a job. When you were interviewed, you sat next to a guy who had ten or fifteen years of experience. No one could get work. Most of us went back to working at our pre-college or ‘just-until-I-graduate’… Continue Reading
Simply Kind Tuesdays : Week 6 – Why bother?
“Why bother with kindness? I mean really. Being kind won’t make you rich. Look at Paris Hilton. She’s not even a very nice person and she’s super rich.” “She’s a HILTON,” I said. “She was born super rich.” “Still. In this economy, I have to look after my bottom line. Period.” Why bother with kindness?… Continue Reading
