The Start of an Era

Hey all!,

So, I decided to start blogging, and it's because a lot of things came together for me.

The main part is that life hit me like a dump truck for no reason at all -- I was literally minding my own business -- and I was left in the after math, pretty damn broken, which is wild because I'm such a resourced and capable person, I'm also NOT a stranger to devastation at all, but there we were... The tough times just keep rolling in, don't they haha

But this time, I saw things from a new angle.

I started to really look at the POWERLESSNESS that one could have in life. You can be as strong as you want, but life will always be stronger, and if it wants to take a shit on you, theeeeeen, buckle up buttercup...

So really looking at what I had, I've always been an academic by nature, strong willed, and opinionated.
But more than that, a recent interaction with a class of cops (learning to do polygraph) helped me see how compassionate and loving I am as a person, despite all of the traumas life gave to me. I didn't turn hardened, I softened and soften others.
Interactions with fellow therapists helped me see how far I came in my own understandings of psychology and human nature -- it's WAY beyond you're average therapist... mainly because studying was my stress outlet.

And putting it all together, I decided that there's only so much I can do for life and the rest of it is time...
Time to heal, time til the seasons changed, but time none the less.
And all I could do is find an outlet for my thoughts and feelings, and writing became IT.

So here we are!

I'm planning on writing the only way I know how - in the style of how I would write my own personal journals and I'm planning on what I know - what ever topic seems to come up the most during the week.

I hope you guys enjoy and I hope you guys get something out of this, because as far as I'm concerned, this project is for both of us.
