I’m a therapist in the metro Detroit area. You can anticipate daily self care tips (something I was doing each day on Meta since the second tragic election), bookish content and maybe the odd photo of my dog.

Such a FUN night at the theatre. These ladies put the “broad” in Broadway. This might be the GAYEST musical ever.

This was an absolute joy to read. My kinda story. Rich family history, the setting is a character, almost gothic, psychologically rich and sensitive.

Self care tip of the day Take accountability! Denying our mistakes results in distress and anxiety. When we take ownership we create trust and we can build better relationships.

Visited the Meyer Mays house in Grand Rapids MI. A great tour with an awesome guide in a unique home by Frank Lloyd Wright. Our second FLW tour and 3rd tour of this kind including the Saarinen House at Cranbrook

I know. These books and their covers are so core for so many. I used to hide this book and others inside my big history school book to get away with reading it!

Text box reads: Self care tip of the day: Often when we worry about something, we stop right there at the ‘what if’ and all of the feelings take over. Keep going! If we are going to imagine the worst, keep imagining how you might cope with and handle the problem.

Text box reads: Self care tip of the day: Learning to give a name to your emotions can help us to process, understand and soothe. Start labeling or naming and noticing your feelings and take some breaths… and see what happens… even if it creates just a little space inside.

Text box reads: Self care tip of the day There was no self care tip yesterday because of the self care tip I am presenting today… Every once in a while… take a day OFF! Take off from whatever you need to take off from. Work, social media, certain necessary relationships, responsibilities etc. Do what is calling you. Me? I binged some junk TV, went for a swim and cooked a healthy meal. Perfection!

Stop. Breathe. Notice. Repeat.

In our daily lives we move fast, often putting others first. But a simple pause—a deep breath, a mindful sip of tea—can ground us. Whether you’re working or resting today, take a moment for you. It matters.

Text box reads: Self care tip of the day Try a digital cleanse. Even if briefly. This weekend, put your phone away or turned off for at minimum a two hour period. Maybe this is combined with an outdoor activity to really help connect you with your environment and your body. If you like it, do it again for a longer stretch!

Self care tip of the day
Sleep. If you need to sleep and you can sleep then sleep. Your body is telling you something. You need more time to restore.

So funny because I feel like we are living inside this novel now and somehow JK has become Umbridge.

Audio for cheap thrillers and memoirs, physical for literature, favorite and classics. iPad for night time when my husband is sleeping. So sometimes I’ll have a physical book I read by day and the digital copy for night time.

I re-read FITA by VC Andrew’s for the 8th time. This book never gets old. A masterpiece in terms of pacing and story. A gothic Freudian fever dream, it’s my favorite take on Hansel and Gretel. (And not to mention that keyhole cover!)

A beat up copy of the novel of Flowers in the attic - the cover is an illustration of a blonde white girls face looking mysteriously out what appears to be an attic window The interior illustration of the book, 4 white, blonde haired children in white shirts huddle together looking mysterious while a spectral image of an old man hovers over them.

Text box reads: Self care tip of the day Ask for help when you need it. You don’t win any awards for going it alone. If you are lost, confused, overwhelmed or struggling ask for help. What is the story that blocks you from asking for help? Identify it and challenge that story. We don’t have to do this alone.

Text box reads: Self care tip of the day Self advocacy is self care. The first quarter of the year is over. If you haven’t had your review at work, it’s time to ask for one. If you haven’t been offered a raise - it’s time to ask for one! Does it mean you’ll get one? No. But you are exercising your voice and making your self worth known.
