Life Updates
I have not done a good job posting lately. I have been in something of a muddled state. School started, which is THE MOST depressing time of year in my opinion. The weather is incredibly hot and muggy. People are trying to force pumpkin season before it’s time for pumpkin season. (And soon they will…

Insurance – Ross Insurance Brokers Inc
I usually (always) hate talking on the phone. The LEAST painful phone call, insurance buying experience of my life was getting insurance through Ross Insurance Brokers. I needed Blue Cross to be able to use insurance at my Shrink’s Office. For NE Kansas I talked to an advisor named Mariah Jeremiah. She was fantastic. I…

Midwest Themed Stickers
I have been in a creative spiral lately and it all led to some midwest themed stickers. (Check them out here.) The phrase I am most proud of is “I put the OPE in NOPE”. If you are from the midwest, you know the polite thing to say when passing someone or bumping into someone…

An example of hypocrisy
As I’ve written several times, I go to therapy. Twice a month, I talk to my shrink, and we dive into things that happened in my childhood, things people have told me growing up that make me or made me have a really negative view of myself. Sometimes those things are said by my loved…

Today I did some thing that I’ve been putting off for over a year. It took 30 minutes of my time. No big deal. Or is it? I have not been able to access online banking for my business in over a year. But I get regular statements emailed to me so I know my…

Unofficial Mom
Therapy has been doing so well. Last week we did some EMDR and I feel like a couple breakthroughs were made. Sometimes I joke about having oldest daughter syndrome And I talked a lot about how I was always the mom of my friend groups. And while that is just part of my personality, and…

Lose the Desperation
There’s an Instagram account to a guy named Christian Walker, and he says some pretty amazing things. He talks a lot about dating and marriage and expectations Women should have and how not to fall for guys who aren’t interested in commitment. The other day, someone said, Christian I’m really desperate to get married… And…

Memories of the 2000s
When I was a kid, I remember anytime we would be going to a place taking multiple cars could get stressful. Not everyone had a GPS, not everyone had a phone. We used to drive around with walkie-talkies so that we could communicate with the other car. Then when I was in high school, we…

Tapping for Mental Health
Have you heard of tapping? Tapping for success or tapping for wealth? No, that’s not a reference to dance. From my very limited research, tapping utilizes acupuncture points, sort of like somatic exercise. The tapping keeps your brain engaged, but it’s sort of meditative. The last couple days I have listened to several guided videos…
