We’ve all been there. Sometimes, more often than we’d like to admit. Kinda comes with the territory of being a work-at-home type…so at least we can laugh about it: 1. You almost start an email with “listen here, motherfucker…” Step away from the keyboard. Just. Step. Away. 2. You’re not entirely sure what the weather […]
I have really bad luck with doctors. I choose to believe that, because the other option is believing that the majority of doctors in the US are egotistical, arrogant assholes entirely lacking in compassion, and that is just too bleak for me. Last year, in the wake of some horrific side effects caused by the SSRI […]
Things I am sick of: people who brand themselves as a maverick, nonconfirmist, rebel, straight-shooter, (insert “edgy” adjective here)…and then use that as an excuse to do whatever the hell they want. Act first, ask questions later, not think about other peoples’ feelings or experiences, and any time they get called on their shit? Yo, […]
Late (which is sadly becoming something of a pattern – sleep/energy issues ahoy) but here’s the recap for February 2014: Biz What worked: Honestly, I didn’t do much biz-wise in February. I wanted to do more, and I did at least post more on the blog, but I just didn’t have as much time or […]
I don’t know about you, but I never get all my planning done in the first week of January. Usually I take the whole month to plan, and this year? I want to make sure I’m building a solid foundation that takes into account everything (not just number-based business or income goals, like I have […]
I didn’t grow up knowing I was pretty. Which is weird, because I remember being told it. I remember hearing it from my family, and family friends, and occasionally a teacher or two here and there (in an appropriate way, not in a woah-creepy way). But even at a young age I had a tendency for self-deprecation, […]
(This is another repost, originally published in June 2013) I feel like I’ve been transported back to the fifties. On Facebook. At least three times in the last few months, I’ve seen some variant of this: “If men aren’t doing xyz it’s because the women in the relationship aren’t ALLOWING them to.” Or: “If your […]
Every now and then, a new article makes the round with the same narrative: Person writing it was diagnosed with OCD. Or ADD. Or anxiety, or depression…the list goes on. After deep, deep thought, they had an epiphany. Because of said epiphany, they decided not to take medication, made some minor lifestyle changes, but mostly […]
(This was originally published in May 2013, in a slightly edited form at Kelly Diels’s blog as a guest post; I’d like to collect most of my writing into one spot on the internet, so I’m reposting this and some other pieces. It’s also worth noting I’m not on medication any more which is a […]
Shock: January kinda got away from me. Probably due to any number of factors (I’m guessing mostly a huge switch-up in routine!), I didn’t get this post done in anywhere near the timeframe I’d originally imagined. So now I’m combining the looking ahead at 2014 post + the January recap post; I want to do […]
