Hey y'all...greetings and salutations. In my previous post, I was pretty much trying to be uplifting and emphasizing all the good things that one can concentrate on. In this particular post, I'll delve deeper into some of the stuff one might be feeling--as I'm feeling it too. A little more personal, a little less cheerleading,... Continue Reading →
Brideshead Revisited: Part 1
Greetings and salutations!! It's been an incredibly long time since I've blogged, and I apologize for that. My blog has mainly been therapeutic and as I've continued to heal and grow, my desire to write has become less and less. That being said, I find myself with a lot more time than I used to...

Living the best life!!!
Hey y'all! Greetings and salutations! I've been trying to write stuff that's more uplifting, or more to the point, not emphasize the negative as much as I have been lately. (So it seems). So I've decided to give a "State of the Union" address, so to speak, of what's going on. Therapy has been a... Continue Reading →
Salad Dressing–Olive oil and Vinegar (metaphorically speaking).
Greetings and salutations!!! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Obviously with me, it's been a summer and spring of wrenching emotions, etc, but I'm much better for it, and that's a good thing. No tales from the couch for the last session. As riveting as they must be to read, (LOL), the last session... Continue Reading →
Tales From The Couch: Part 12–I’m doing GREAT!!! No, really!!!
Greetings and salutations! So I had my last session, and my therapist seems impressed with my progress. She said that even though it may not seem like big steps, they actually are. I told her that I read an article in the Toronto Star which had this to say about therapy. " Gottlieb says “I... Continue Reading →
Happy Pride
Pride Greetings and Salutations! I hope everyone had a happy Pride weekend/week/month? LOL. I know how some people like to party and attend the myriad of social activism events, memorials, etc, that happened in the month of June. The LGBT community has come a long way in acceptance and the availability of basic human rights... Continue Reading →
Tales From The Couch: Part 9
Greetings and salutations!! Momentous week from the couch last week. I learned...it's ok not to feel guilty and it's ok to concentrate on the positive steps I've taken in moving forward. I know, it sounds very un-momentous when I type it, but hear me out. For the longest time, I've felt guilt over how I... Continue Reading →
Delayed Reactions
As it's Pride Month...heyyyyyyyyyyy. LOL. So as most of you know, I got a response from SK, and have written a response in reply--which I haven't sent yet. I wasn't sure what the point or the purpose was, and I like to have time for feelings and emotions to settle--kind of like a casserole--everything melds... Continue Reading →
Tales from the couch: Part 8
Hey, hey!!! Greetings and salutations! Sorry for the delay! I'd love to say that there was a deep and meaningful, angst filled session, but alas, that isn't the case. This session was foundational/exploratory. We talked about my childhood, my experiences, facets of my life growing up which I presume will be used to help me... Continue Reading →
Grace And Fear
Greetings and salutations!!! Well, let's get down to brass tacks. I promised that I'd write about the e-mail that I took forever to read from SK. So here goes. But first a bit of background. I think we imprint the behaviour we are guilty of onto others. Partially as a defence mechanism, and partially because... Continue Reading →
