Who Are You, or Is Your Personality Your Facebook Profile?
Is it possible that, by sectioning off parts of your life (facets of your personality?) that you aren’t being true to yourself? Could it be the case that when you behave differently around your children compared to when you’re at work you lack integrity?
The Reconciliation in Truth and Reconciliation
Last week I started in on the topic of Truth and Reconciliation by examining the truth. Now it’s time for more thoughts on reconciliation than you ever cared to read! In order to reach reconciliation, we must first have a common truth, a common history. After all, what is history but the story we tell to explain our present? The dead don’t care what we say.
Truth and Reconciliation: Thoughts on Truth
If you’ve been here before, you know that I like musing on basic subjects: fear, isolation, motivation, fear again. For my sanity, I’m going to break my thoughts on Truth and Reconciliation down in a similar way. The logical place to start then is with truth.

It might not seem like the most logical progression, but I think that to actually talk about self-care, we first have to look under the hood and think about some of the underlying factors.
Intro to Self-Care
There’s a lot of literature out there on how to care for yourself, but not a lot on why it’s important (or not?). Therefore here’s my intro to self-care, and why it has become an issue in my humble opinion.
Theme of the Week: Standards
My idea for Theme of the Week is to take a word or short phrase, put it under a microscope, and suck all the meaning out of it that I can. So buckle up, put your thinking cap on, and join me in thinking about standards.
