The truth will set you free (sort of).

Self-respect

Beating yourself up is a far cry from self-respect.

A Bonus Post (Blog #1097, Birthday #3)
March 31, 2020
In celebration of the end of my every day, every damn day posting, and in honor of my blog’s 3rd birthday, tonight I did a Live Video in which I discussed my feelings about this...
Better Together (Blog #1096!)
March 30, 2020
Dear Marcus, It’s been a bumpy ride. Six years ago two days from now we were passed out drunk and naked, hugging a toilet seat, having just broken up with the first and only person...
Here’s to You (Blog #1095)
March 29, 2020
Tonight’s blog is #1095 in a row and is my next to last. I’m smiling in tonight’s photo, but I’m not happy. Or at least if I am I’m a lot of other things too–sad,...
These Hundreds of Thousands of Words (Blog #1094)
March 28, 2020
Phew. All day I’ve been tired, sad. And whereas I could blame lack of sleep and a number of other things, the fact is I’ve already begun to grieve the loss of this blog. Including...
On Having Nothing to Hide (Blog #1093)
March 27, 2020
Well shit. The end of this blog is getting real. After tonight, I only have three more posts. Granted, something could happen. I could get sick or die first. But it looks like I’m going...
On Slowing Down, Changing Worlds, and Seasons (Blog #1092)
March 26, 2020
In an interview I listened to yesterday, former head hostage negotiator for the FBI Chris Voss said, “You have to go slow to go fast.” Meaning that in high-stakes or even low-stakes negotiations it pays...
True (Blog #1091)
March 25, 2020
Today has been go, go, go. This morning, from a very safe distance, I saw my therapist. Then this afternoon I went for a walk while listening to an interview with Chris Voss, the former...
The Giving (Blog #1090)
March 24, 2020
Last night after I posted the blog and as I crawled into bed, I was dead tired. My neck, back, and shoulders ached. I am so over this shit, I thought. Ready to pass out....
We March Forward (Blog #1089)
March 23, 2020
This morning I woke up a full two hours before my alarm went off. Feeling crappy. And whereas I thought it was probably due to the fact that I was fasting and hadn’t eaten in...
What If? (Blog #1088)
March 22, 2020
So, I don’t know, last summer or sometime I ended up with psoriasis on my right elbow. And whereas it wasn’t awful, it was irritating. So I did all the creams and potions, traditional and...
Leave the Raft Behind (Blog #1087)
March 21, 2020
It’s 11:50 at night, and this is the beginning of the end. No, not of the world, although I guess that’s possible. Anything is possible these days. Rather, it’s the beginning of the end of...
Free (Blog #1086)
March 20, 2020
Ugh. I’ve spent all day reading, first a book about energy medicine (weird even for me), then a book about quantum physics and healing (fascinating), then a book I’m editing for a client (lacking commas,...
Sacred (Blog #1085)
March 19, 2020
This afternoon I finished reading What’s in Your Web: Stories of Fascial Freedom by Phil Tavolacci and started and finished Tapping In: A Step-by-Step Guide to Activating Your Healing Resources by Laurel Parnell. And whereas...
On Pause (Blog #1084)
March 18, 2020
Today I’ve mostly stayed at home. This afternoon I went to my aunt’s house to help her with a computer problem and borrow a card table, and this evening I went for a walk (exercise...
Good and Beautiful and True (Blog #1083)
March 17, 2020
This afternoon I saw my myofascial release wizard, and, phew, what a trip that was. By this I mean I cried. A lot. I don’t know. If you haven’t experience myofascial release or anything like...
A New Way of Living (Blog #1082)
March 16, 2020
Today I taught two dance lessons. I know, touching people. But we all washed out hands first, and Daddy’s gotta make a living. Groceries and toilet paper, after all, don’t pay for themselves. Anyway, after...
Responsible (Blog #1081)
March 15, 2020
When you stay home all day (#flattenthecurve), you can get a lot done. This afternoon I watched two videos about the esoteric history of Egypt with my dad and finished two custom-order brooch projects. Then...
Together (Blog #1080)
March 14, 2020
Doing my small part to #flattenthecurve and slow the spread of COVID-19, I stayed home today, as I plan to do tomorrow and for the foreseeable future, with a few exceptions (therapy appointments, etc.). This...

*An Important Correction

When I said, "I SHOULD be more social," what I meant to say was, "I COULD be more social." (Anyone who's been to a decent therapist knows it's not healthy to "should" on yourself.)
