The 4th graders' Greek goddess Halloween costume plans ran into her parents' deep knowledge of art history and historical clothing. She was not pleased.

The amount of Rage Against the Machine I've been listening to recently should probably be an indication of my mental state.

Mini-split heaters are great when there's *any* heat outside. When it's single digits? Not so much. My office is freezing.

The amount of joy my children are getting from birdwatching at our feeder is only only matched by the cats' interest in prey.

Today I discovered a really cool resource: the CDLC Direct Access Pass.This enables you to access journals etc at participating libraries, without needing another library card. It's perfect for someone like me who wants access to scholarly articles for presentation purposes. cdlc.org/dap

Teach your kids how to set and hold boundaries. Respect the boundaries they set. If you don't, they'll land in my office in their 20s and 30s, convinced that having boundaries is bad and that someone getting mad at them means they shouldn't set the boundary.

A common theme I hear among my clients is guilt or shame for not "doing something" when something bad happens to them. Or shame about perceived pressure to "do something" to solve a situation that is ultimately out of their hands. I notice my own internal pressure to "do something."
