For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Why Communication has more to do with Feelings than Talking
Clients very often contact me because of their strained relationships. Whether with spouses, family members or friends, when relationships go sour it's usually because we believe our communication broke down.

Transphobia, and the bigoted reduction of women.
On nearly every social media platform, there is constantly an argument between people who love and support trans people, and bigots. This argument is about if trans people are truly the gender they identify with. The people who support trans people argue that trans people are the gender they identify with, while bigots say that they are not. When the bigots are asked what separates trans people from “real” people, the bigots pull out the same tired ass argument, specifically about trans women. They say that being a “real” woman is about their ability to carry a baby in their uterus, and give birth. That’s it. That the tired ass argument they whip out every time.

TO BE REMEMBERED:
I don't remember much; I may have been here for a while, but I lost track of days a long time ago. I don't even know how I got here, wherever this was. I try to keep up with the happenings by looking at the leaves of the mulberry tree outside my shack. When the leaves fall, I know the cold is coming.

When Actions are Deliberate
Actions are sometimes deliberate. I had a bad experience in 2017, where I saw an atomic bomb clairvoyant metaphor in my head before walking into a building far away from home in another neighborhood. This is a symbol I now interpret as saying; there will be drama inside the xyz location. But back then; I was a naïve 36 year old whose parents had just moved. I was going to get a free guard card class, but I realized the drive had caused me stress. I was going to go that meeting to prove I was badass but also my stiff knee hurt. I have a knee injury from yoga class, its' much improved at this time in 2020, but I've been healing from this injury since 2016, March, and I have to take it easy still. Anyway, my point in this article is that some bullies are deliberate about what they do.

The Lost Soul Crisis
My first name is not in fact Rhea, it's actually Leanne. It's nice to meet you, if you're reading this! The title, though it's not something I've ever said before, is a valid statement of my life at this very moment - I am indeed on a search to find myself. I turned twenty-nine years old just two days ago, and I realized quite suddenly that after years of indulging others' needs and wants around me - I never stopped long enough to take note of my own desires, and my own goals and happiness.

Leap year and Sadie Hawkins day
Sadie Hawkins origin Most people assume that Valentine’s Day on February 14th is what makes the second month of the year a time of romance. There is another event that takes place in the shortest month, but only comes around every four years. On the 29th of February during Leap Year there is a special occasion that young people may not be familiar with. This auspicious observation is called Sadie Hawkins Day and once upon a time it used to be quite a big deal. Sadie Hawkins came from the mind of cartoonist Al Capp in his classic hillbilly comic strip Li'l Abner. Many baby boomers grew up reading about the escapades of the hillbillies on weekdays in the new paper on a page that was just for comics and was known then as the funny papers.

Winter Extraordinaire: Christmas in Park City, UT
May all the best wine in the world flow into your cup… A brave man took on the task of teaching my Mom and I how to ski this winter. What a sight we must have been; arriving late, fumblingly in our clunky ski boots and extremely frazzled to our ski lesson. By the time we got to the meeting place I wasn’t sure I desired to learn to ski anymore. But then we met Jon, our ski coach. A man that could be mistaken for Santa Clause minus the beard; John met our frazzled state with a much needed sense of peace and overall enjoyment of the snowy mountains surrounding us. On the whole, the Park City Ski School team did a fabulous job assuring us that everything would be just fine and ushering us up the mountain, leaving our present worries and anxieties to the wind.
