Anxiety&#8217;s all around me, and so the feeling grows.&#8221; Okay, okay, I know it&#8217;s &#8220;love,&#8221; not anxiety, but as a human with eyes, ears, and a brain living in the USA in 2025, emotions aren&#8217;t exactly [&#8230;]]]></description>

My head and heart alternate in what hurts &#8211; and that&#8217;s just from &#8220;first-world problems.&#8221; I don&#8217;t want to belittle anyone&#8217;s experience, including my own, but it&#8217;s good to keep perspective.

					<description><![CDATA[I read somewhere that it takes half the time a relationship lasted to truly &#8220;get over it.&#8221; What about friendships? Is there a timeframe when it stops hurting when a friend leaves you? It&#8217;s been five years since my best friend of then 28 years stopped talking to me. My heart hurts every time I [&#8230;]]]></description>

When I wake up, I'm hopeful, thinking, there's no way today can top yesterday. And then it does. Again and again and again.]]></description>

Sometimes I feel like maybe I should stop with all the questions already because I’m simply not that interesting. But I always surprise myself with what I learn in my self-examination. I guess Socrates was right [&#8230;]]]></description>

Unfortunately, when it comes to the things that I need to do myself, I don’t always follow through. Sometimes it’s because we all have things that we dread doing and we just put [&#8230;]]]></description>

So much so that when I hear the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me,” I have feelings… strong feelings. When you read the background below, you may think that I’ve [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I was younger, I was frequently called naïve because my default behavior was to trust people. Ironically, (or perhaps appropriately) the person who I remember telling me this the most was a guy I was romantically involved with who ended it by telling me he was about to propose to his girlfriend. I didn’t [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the spirit of “practice what you preach” I have been compelled to finish my coaching credentials requirements and finally get my PCC. What I didn’t expect is that the process of doing this would provide so much value to me personally.

Dogs are the most amazing creatures on this planet. Well, maybe whales would give them a run for their money, but since we know a [&#8230;]]]></description>
