Why I traded Candy Crushing for Embroidery We all do it. We have some way of allowing ourselves to morph into zombies most evenings after long days of running, working, cooking, cleaning, and/or tending to the needs and demands of our families and friends. Sometimes I sit in front of Netflix for an hour orContinue reading “Why I Traded Candy Crushing for Embroidery”

Preparing our Nets for Harvest
Preparing our Nets for Harvest Recently I was invited by my friend Madison Brown to Elizabethtown College where she is a senior.

For several years I heard from a therapist, “I don’t do chaos” and one day I finally asked her what this meant.

Operating from a Healthy Standpoint – Providing Feedback
We all have encountered a person or situation where we find ourselves being “dumped” with scenarios that we can see so clearly as an outsider. In these situations it is so tempting to tell that person just what “we think” and give advice. Even though in our mind we rationalize that if someone is sharingContinue reading “Operating from a Healthy Standpoint – Providing Feedback”
