Why the Oscars Boycott Makes No Sense to Me
So here’s an analogy to explain my two cents about #OscarsSoWhite and the whole boycott thing … if a candy dispenser has 90 red jellybeans and 10 yellow jellybeans, are you really going to be surprised if the first 20 jellybeans you get are red? Are you going to get mad at the candy dispenser… Continue reading Why the Oscars Boycott Makes No Sense to Me
Why the Blogosphere is Great
It’s taken me a while, but I finally have the time to thank Mary Pamela for nominating me for this wonderful award! It really took me by surprise to get this award, and I am so grateful for the time that Mary Pamela has spent reading my blog and including me in her awards circle 🙂 Now… Continue reading Why the Blogosphere is Great

It’s a good day when my boobs protrude farther than my belly.
Why I Blog
Since it’s the start of a new year, I thought it might be good to revisit the question of why I write this blog.

If you’re a psychologist, know a… Continue reading Why People Become Psychologists

Even Jesus would be nothing without a woman; He literally would not have been brought into the world if a woman hadn’t said “yes” to carrying Him. I think that makes us the most powerful creatures on Earth, right?
Why I’m One and Done
Like many women with one child, I often get asked if/when I plan on having more. Spoiler alert: I’m not, so the answer is never. It’s bizarre to me that so many people think that a personal issue like this is fair game to discuss even upon meeting me for the first time. Just because… Continue reading Why I’m One and Done
How to Get Off Your Butt and Do Something
I kinda hate the saying “It is what it is.” I think people say it sometimes when they don’t want to deal with a situation, and not because the circumstances or outcome are truly out of their control. That’s why I love the serenity prayer. It encapsulates the whole gamut of things we can do… Continue reading How to Get Off Your Butt and Do Something
