Grief and the Holidays

November has been a tough month for me, biopsychosocialspiritually. But lately, I’ve noticed (courtesy of my Facebook memories) that November has traditionally been a rough month for me for quite a while. I put my therapist hat on immediately and attempted to figure out the source of my distress. My answer, or possible answer, hit…

Monday Affirmation With KP

If you’re a “Type A” personality like yours truly, you can run through life, working towards goals, checking off items on your “To Do” lists, and feeling like a superwoman. While being productive and working hard has its place, if we don’t allow God to work in out lives according to His will and plan,…

Confessions of an Autism/ADHD Mom

Since 1996, when my oldest son initially lost his ability to speak, I became a case manager of sorts: monitoring, linking, and ensuring that Aaron has what he needs to be happy and productive.

Happy Anniversary to Me!

Last October, I slowed down, revamped my wellness plan, ONCE AGAIN, and took off on another leg of my journey. The first 20 lbs melted off of me like butter. The next 20 lbs hung around like a migraine, but eventually went away. This last 20 lbs????? It’s like a tick on a dog! I…

Lesson of the Day from KP’s Garden

I lost more tomatoes than I harvested this morning. I saw them hanging on the vine but figured I had more time. Lesson learned: Tend to my crops better. Don’t put off a harvest because of an “I’ll do it later attitude.” If I do, I may lose more than I gain… Life works the…

Corona Survivor Chronicles, Our Story – Part 2

While my and my husband’s individual and collective biological experiences with COVID 19 were harrowing, nothing really prepared us for the psychological and spiritual difficulties we faced. When I say nothing, I mean nothing. I have been a psychotherapist for 20 years. We have been people of faith nearly our whole lives. We love God…
