Why Don’t I Fit In?

Yes, we should all accept our uniqueness, cherish our weirdness, ignore everyone else’s opinions and go down our own particular path.  I’m all for it.  But we’re not islands.  Most of us are not meant to be lone explorers venturing to parts unknown only to be heard from every 2-5 years. …Details

What’s Nagging You?

I don’t wanna

You know that saying “You always find the thing you’re looking for in the last place you look”?  Well it’s true…snarky, but true.  In that same vein, many of us struggle on and on in our lives, looking here-there-everywhere for an answer to why things are the way they are and what they can do to get beyond this to have happiness and the life they deserve. …Details

Knowing What You Know

How do you know when you’ve found yourself?  That’s the snide question that people ask those who are “trying to find themselves.”  It’s a valid question, snide as it is.  How do you know?  Let’s put it another way.  How much seeking do you need to do until you decide to act on what you’ve found? …Details
