Therapy theme this week: finding a balance between “personal accountability” & self criticism. AA heavily emphasizes accountability. But in the long term, a lot of people struggle to come out the other side of exiting a constant crisis state cuz they’re stuck in a rigid need to be held accountable

Struggling to find what’s next after finishing The Wedding People. #booksky 💙
So far I’ve started & abandoned after 1 chap: God Engines, Serial Hottie, Tribute of Fire, Sunlit Man, Buried Deep, Reluctant Heartthrob, Book that wouldn’t burn, Bright Sword, the Familiar…etc

Been getting a lot of aggressive pushing to join & see “threads” on FB & insta with no good way to hide that. Sounds like meta is a bit desperate. Can you image your one-liner being pushed out to hundreds of people as ad fodder for meta? #threads #insta #facebook #gopissuparope

Just kidding! The ice is all gone now. Hopefully all the Duluth winter festival stuff will still have snow to play in.

Therapy theme this weekend: solutions to a crap month (pt 2)
Find someone else to remind you.
Break the day into 15 min chunks.
If you’re a half empty person, still acknowledge the water that’s there!
At least you’re still here. And I’m so happy you are.

Therapy theme this weekend: (Pt 1) This Jan has been really heavy. Gotta celebrate the small (tiny) good things y’all. No one really knows how to remember to do that, but we know it’s important.
Part 2 for solutions…

Ice is starting to form on Lake Superior. So cool

Therapy theme this week: looking at ourselves in the (metaphorical) mirror is really hard. Humans do a lot of things to avoid being seen. But at the same time, humans crave being seen & validated as their true selves. Sometimes we get in our own way of that. Plus it’s cold outside.

@colormedebi.bsky.social hey haaaaaaay! Hope I’ll get to see more of you here than on that other stupid site. Miss your face. Hope you’re killin it like always.

Therapy Theme of the Week: can we put our Christmas lights up early?

(Consensus: YES. And everyone is starting early this year. Everyone.)

A sunny, brisk fall day in the Duluth Rose Garden.
