You need therapy...
It is no secret that I am a mental health professional. In my opinion, it should be mandatory that anyone providing counseling to another human being, receive counseling from another human being…..and let me tell you why. Because, the moment you sit down in a chair and face a counselor, you slam into the realization that you only have 50 minutes to fulfill the following agenda:

Bitsy - How was your day mom?
Me - Unproductive as usual....
Bitsy - Sorry
Me - Yeah......Bitsy...you should know how my day went, if you come home and I am eating cannolis.

Hi, I'm God...
I’m pretty sure that I saw God once. I was standing at the base of a redwood tree high in the mountains. I think that He was watching me, waiting to see if I could hear him whisper….
I remember getting a chill and then suddenly, I could see for miles; I felt the world shrink, and then I heard it, the whisper; I felt it — I WAS it….and it pierced my soul so bad it hurt....

The invisible stalker...
I saw you, but you couldn’t see me.
I heard you, but you couldn’t hear me.
I felt you, but you couldn’t feel me.
And, all the while I lay helpless at your feet!
And only when I was gone — did you notice that I had ever even been there!
Come and play
I grew up watching Sesame Street. In my mind, I lived on that block. It was WAY better than the one I really grew up on…the one where people pissed under the stairwells, took girls against their will up onto the rooftop, murdered and hung young boys from tree branches because they were f’in fags and basically lived in a state of funk. But….people don’t want to talk about...

There are some lovely delicate souls who follow my blog. They are fragile and in need of tender love and kindness. To these people, I would like to say that you are ALWAYS welcome here….and if you’ve got something to say, please don’t be shy! I would love to hear your voice!

As an educator, I think it’s awesome that adults are concerned with the welfare of our children and their social & emotional well-being. It is a soapbox that you will always find me on. I preach from it, rant from it, lecture from it, point fingers from it, and I honestly don’t think that this will ever change.
The fact that I engage in this (soapbox) behavior is in no way...

Our society has arrived at the conclusion that the only people worthy of attention are the people who go to extremes…..If you don’t believe me, just look at what passes for REALITY tv, a social icon, or leadership.
Not too long ago we looked up to people who went “above and beyond” to make even a small part of the world a better place. Now it seems we have to look past...

Let me in...
One of the most haunting experiences of my life came early in my career as a Middle School counselor. It came by way of a conversation I had with one of my “cutters”.
Over the course of our time together, we talked about everything….EVERYTHING, she and I. At some point, our conversation led us to a comment that I made about true beauty and the pain and suffering that comes...

I'm not mental...
Wanting to be loved, noticed, valued and heard does NOT constitute mental illness.
Wanting to disappear because you don’t feel loved, noticed, valued & heard does not constitute mental illness.
Harming yourself to get someone’s attention does not constitute mental illness.
It simply means that the person inside your head is giving you bad advice.
Find someone else to...
Bleed to love...
To all the people out there who bleed to love…you are NOT ALONE!!!!
*******************************
Once again she steals away
Then she reaches out to kiss me
And how she takes my breath away
Pretending that she won’t miss me
Oohh I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Oohh I would bleed to love her
And once again she calls to me
Then she vanishes in thin air
And how...
