Am I Normal?

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/n34b7f/serious_therapists_what_is_something_people_are/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3  This is such an important thread!! How many times through our lives we wonder, "is it just me," or "does this make me a terrible person?" etc. etc. Knowing that we are "normal" in the clinical sense is so helpful!! Reading this thread from time to time (for as long as the link works I guess) can allay so many worries, fears, concerns! Thankful to the therapists who contributed and the clients for sharing!!

I'm Not Surprised But...

New(ish) Music for a Better Democracy

Willagers!!! I have some music to share. It's not necessary new, but it's something I do every year to pass the time. And I get a ton of mileage out of the playlist for years to come.   Best of . . . 2020 .   Give it a spin. Tell me what you like. Tell me what I missed.

Changing the Narrative of Your Life

The title of this post popped in my head the other day. I was thinking about the baggage we all carry with us, and how reframing certain past experiences could make a positive impact. When I plugged "Changing the Narrative of Your Life" into goggle I found this article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/quantum-leaps/201907/how-rewrite-your-past-narrative The article is a good reference to have around and use when needed.

Say it Ain't So Joe

My first great disappointment with Joe Biden is that he has not followed through with his promise to make a pariah out of the Saudis, especially the prince. After the report that was released last Friday it is without question that the prince was involved with Khashoggi's killing. The impact of this report goes much deeper than this brutal murder and dismemberment. I know how we all feel that writing our congresspeople seems futile at times, but I am doing it as much as I can muster. I have just written the White House. Even if it results in just a hash mark towards this one issue at least I can make that mark. If enough Biden supporters speak out on things it may make a difference along the way! It's quick and easy at least: https://www.whitehouse.gov/get-involved/write-or-call/  You can also sign up there to "Stay Connected."

This article is about agricultural farming and its effects on wildlife. Its not a very long article.  I am going to read it a couple times and put in a few responses. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts. Cheers Dodge
