How can I minimize my disappointments ?
Last year when I took a coaching course aimed at working with people with ADHD I heard Rrichard Lavoie (in the video When the Chips are Down) say that the worst thing you could tell a child is that he/she has...

Early this morning I received a response to a job application asking for writing samples. It is a position that I'm quite excited about, so I was thrilled.
Moments later my husband arrived home from his early morning gym visit.
"Guess what!" I said.
"You got a job," he answered...

It had to be Batman, always, when I was little. I didn't know why. I didn't have a cape or a costume but I tied my coat round my shoulders and ran round the playground chasing this boy I liked, I was five. Yes, I said, we'd play Batman, I'd be Robin, no problem, so that's what we did. He didn't...

I watched a beautiful sunset jiggle and dip through the redwood trees that lined a winding two-lane road out the small back windows of an ambulance. I was strapped down and every few miles the driver would pull over and he and my attending EMT would switch roles, take my vitals and I...

When asked if everything is okay, she lets...

I'm struggling and it's affecting my ability to put words onto the page.
I hate drama, which do I choose? It's like having to play Solomon.
No matter what decision I make, someone gets hurt. Someone will be the loser.
It was decided weeks ago, I knew there was no other path to take...

It all caught up with me last night. I was still feeling a rush from the concert on Friday night (yep, it was that good) when I got up on Saturday morning. Flying high, I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to go. No sleeping in because I had a tennis match. It was pretty...

I was just finishing up my post for the day when my work disappeared. The screen blinked and all I had left of 30 minutes of writing was the first 2 sentences. From now on I'll stick to writing in Word and transferring. I can't believe it. I can't dredge up the energy to try...
