The practice of gratitude

November 23, 2018November 19, 2018 / MissB / Leave a comment

Thanksgiving is this week. In fact, by the time you read this it will already be over. Since my boyfriend and I are trying to spend time with both families, I will have one more Thanksgiving after this is published which extends the theme for me for the week. The theme for everyone right now … Continue reading The practice of gratitude

Being the enemy…

November 16, 2018November 15, 2018 / MissB / 1 Comment

As Thanksgiving approaches, I’m starting to get the usual texts from family asking for a Christmas list for presents. I really hoped I wouldn't. Last year I was able to convince my family not to do gifts because I honestly don’t see the point of it anymore. We are all older, no one needs anything, … Continue reading Being the enemy…

Social Change

November 9, 2018 / MissB / Leave a comment

Throughout my Master’s program so far, there is a constant theme where we are asked how we will use what we are learning to bring about positive social change. No matter how many times I am asked this, I still struggle to come up with the kind of answer I imagine they are looking for. … Continue reading Social Change

Self-sabotage

November 2, 2018November 1, 2018 / MissB / Leave a comment

I almost didn’t write this week. I have a lot on my plate completing projects and term papers for my master’s program, but then while doing all of this I’m recognizing a pattern of behavior that I realize has been part of me since birth. I’m a self-saboteur. It doesn’t matter what it is, as … Continue reading Self-sabotage

Praise the zombie days…

October 26, 2018October 25, 2018 / MissB / Leave a comment

When I was younger, I wouldn’t call in sick for anything. It was a source of pride that I would go to work half out of my death-bed as if the world would stop turning if I didn’t arrive. I remember teaching classes through sticky-notes- designating a student reader, and typing notes on the Smart … Continue reading Praise the zombie days…

My father’s daughter

October 19, 2018October 19, 2018 / MissB / Leave a comment

Monday will make 18 years since my dad passed away. I won’t even begin to pretend that we had a magical relationship, or even that my day-to-day life has been hugely impacted by the loss, which I’m aware sounds horrible, but I will admit that it changed the trajectory of my existence in profound ways. … Continue reading My father’s daughter

Being an emotional cutter

October 5, 2018October 5, 2018 / MissB / 1 Comment

My fellow Sex and the City fans know exactly what I mean by that, but for those of you who don’t, here’s a quick recap. In the movie, Carrie pulls out the article about her (at the time) upcoming wedding with all the pictures of her in designer wedding gowns, looking so happy…on Valentine's Day, … Continue reading Being an emotional cutter

Love ain’t for the faint of heart

September 28, 2018September 27, 2018 / MissB / 4 Comments

Recently, I had a conversation with a friend of mine and she mentioned how wanting a relationship made her feel weak. In that moment, my heart cried for her and I told her that wanting companionship isn’t weakness, it’s natural. Weakness comes from being dependent on a relationship. Being incapable of being alone is weakness. … Continue reading Love ain’t for the faint of heart

Alignment…or the lack thereof.

September 21, 2018September 20, 2018 / MissB / 3 Comments

Lately I’ve been thinking a great deal about what it means to be in alignment. Everywhere I turn there is an article, or a webinar, or some other forum discussing this very topic, and somehow I leave those situations no better off than I started. It seems like the consistent message for getting into alignment … Continue reading Alignment…or the lack thereof.

Life in perspective

September 14, 2018September 13, 2018 / MissB / 1 Comment

Yesterday I attended yet another memorial service for a friend who has left us way too soon, and since the moment I learned of his passing, my mind has been going 90 miles a minute. As I sat among so many others who were there to say their goodbyes, I realized how far I’ve come … Continue reading Life in perspective
