Self-Care Saturday: Wash your face
Not right this instant, of course. No, wait, come back here! I have more to explain! I mean, yes, wash your face, especially if you haven’t yet. But, why would I label that as self-care or think it’s enough to make a post about? Because some days just getting out of bed is a challenge.… Read More Self-Care Saturday: Wash your face
Free-form Friday: Just an update on me
(Please note, the image for this post will be me in a relatively short time.) Well, another week has flown by. I’m having my usual Friday morning feeling of, “I didn’t accomplish anything this week.” I hate that feeling because it’s so rarely true. Still, not seeing progress in any tangible way is often frustrating.… Read More Free-form Friday: Just an update on me
Top Skills Thursday: Help Someone
While you’re feeling extra low and the usual skills aren’t giving you any relief, there’s one thing that is almost guaranteed to at least give you a break from your own headaches.

Writing Wednesday: Carving Out Time
Like most people who write but also have the day job, it’s often a battle to get the space to write, even with good planning and time management.

His goal was to empower patients to reframe their thoughts and responses,… Read More Therapy Tuesday: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Motivational Monday: Don’t Lose
How we handle defeat says a lot about us. In many cases our handling of a disappointment is focused on the things we didn’t get, the criticisms of our past, and our fears of not finding success in the future. So, what if we just decide to change how we take that moment and transform… Read More Motivational Monday: Don’t Lose

Self-Care Saturday: Hire It Out
The majority of my self-care posts are things you can do without spending any money. That isn’t changing. For today, we’re going to look at this way to take care of yourself. It has been a long week. Life has just run you ragged. You need a break. The calendar says it’s the weekend but… Read More Self-Care Saturday: Hire It Out
Freeform Friday: Author in action
I’ve been making steady-ish progress on the Half-Life of a Soul (HLOAS) series. It has been very slow, though. While yes, any progress is good, I don’t want to take a decade to write “the end” when I already know exactly how this story will end, how the spin-off story will open and end, and… Read More Freeform Friday: Author in action
