Monday’s post followed along a path I’ve seen before, one where I’ve been convinced that there’s a specific “normal” path to follow, just to be reminded that it’s okay for me to be me.
A few years ago, I first started to actively reconnect with my own Sprituality, but bucked hard at the idea of Christianity, […]

Choice Theory states that all we do is behave, that almost all behavior is chosen, and that we are driven by our genes to satisfy five basic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom and fun. In practice, the most important need is love and belonging, as closeness and connectedness […]

Girl!
I found out on Tuesday that as I’ve just “known” all along, little bit is indeed a baby girl. I can’t wait to meet her.
Since she didn’t cooperate very well with the ultrasound, I don’t have much in the way of pictures — just one very fuzzy face shot and one of the “girl […]

The differences in type never cease to amaze and amuse me. Dave, an INFJ whom I was supposed to meet right around the time I found out I’m pregnant, wrote me this morning…TUESDAY morning…to ask if I wanted to go to Templeton Trail. ON SUNDAY.

Last Wednesday (January 21), I discovered that I am pregnant. I shocked myself with my immediate thought, […]

I use the word “guy” very specifically rather than “man.” The good news is, I’ve finally started meeting really bright ones. The “typical” Colorado Springs guy. I’m not sure what it is, but there seem to be quite a few here who just don’t really think. Ever.
This one “found” me during the […]

The second of Dr. NCW’s ten principles for chosing the right mate is to be very familiar with what it is that you’re looking for, and how important each of those items is to you. In that, he proposes 10 attributes of a mate and describes what each means. He suggested ranking them, […]

Post written to my “therapy” blog just after an IM session with my counselor.
Weight. Gaining it as protection…we’ve talked about that.
How ’bout gaining it as a “test”…to see if someone really likes me or if they like the packaging?
When I met (ex-boyfriend), I was in pretty good shape (I still am, but right now am […]
