ADHD It's as Easy as Do, Re, Me
Verywell published a special edition of their magazine recently, ADHD A New Understanding. I purchased my copy at a local grocery store. Relevance? The global pandemic and associated shortage of stimulant medication used to treat ADHD has brought the brain-based condition to the forefront.
Cranberry Cream Cheese Conundrum
One of my New Year’s resolutions (more like aspirations) is to be more consistent with my “Whimsical Kitchen Therapy” blog. This is where I share my passion for baking and cooking; linking lessons learned to life’s ups and downs
FROSTING FIASCO: LESSONS LEARNED
The night before last, I decided to bake my husband a Russian-style honey cake. We split a generous slice of such cake a few weeks ago at a Dolan, a Uyghur restaurant in Cleveland Park, and it was love at first bite! I’m a reliably good baker with an untidy (aka creative) flair. However, this episode of “Whimsical Kitchen Therapy” was brought to you by the letter “D for Disaster”!
WE ARE ALL INFLUENCERS
I don’t know about you but it seems to me that there’s more pressure today to make a statement about who you are to the world. I’m a Gen X’er so I use Facebook and LinkedIn more than some, Instagram less than others, Twitter not at all (no political reason).
SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER
I don’t know how people parent and work full-time because I feel like S.O.A.M. is my neglected child. To be fair, I have been grieving, preparing to move, and working full-time. As I often say to my therapy clients, “that’s a lot!”
BELTAINE BOOK OFFERING
I have been communing with a group of women who honor the sacred within. This isn’t as woo woo or out there as you might think nor is it obscure.
BOOK IS LIVE!
The end of a long, journey concluded today. Now Soundtrack Of A Misfit is LIVE. Today, you can purchase a copy for just 99 cents on Amazon Kindle.
FEELING THE LOVE
I’m feeling hopeful that Soundtrack Of A Misfit (SOAM) will reach its Kickstarter campaign funding goal. Thank you to all who have graciously contributed to birthing my memoir.
SITTING WITH DISCOMFORT
I’m six weeks out from the release of Soundtrack Of A Misfit. This is a busy and overwhelming time. I am ready to be done with edits and to-do’s. In my therapy practice, I often teach clients about dialectics. A dialectic is like a conundrum with polar opposites, such as Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader, Ying and Yang or feeling fear and excitement simultaneously. This is exactly how I feel about where I’m at with my memoir.
A SMASHWORDS INTERVIEW WITH YOURS TRULY
Good morning from chilly MOCO, MD. Hopefully this warms you up if you need it or at least puts a smile on your face. It’s my interview on smashwords.
AN ADD WRITER'S LIFE
This is going to be short. I have been working on designing my website (already in its second rendition) since 12 PM EST and it is suddenly 5 PM. I am ravenous and my hips hurt because I have been so hyper-focused that I’ve hardly moved.
