A Good Time to Chat

Send us a text Is this a good time to chat about GARDENING? Specifically, what's KILLING my garden?  I am the gardener of my own growth. The seeds of growth I planted and tend to are wilting. Is it possible I am the one destroying them?  And...(shudder)...am I alone with this behavior? (Spoiler: I don't think I am...) "It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me."

Send us a text Is it possible that how we introduce our thoughts might be an indication of our self-esteem health?  We have important thoughts, feelings, and ideas to share, but can how we voice them alert the listener that what follows may be, at best, uninspiring? [insert sad trombone "womp-womp" here]  I'd love to know if I'm the only one (I know I'm not) who uses phrases like the ones I share...

Send us a text I don't know about your relationship with CHANGE, but I know I needed to talk it through with you.  I credit the insightful research of William Bridges Associates for helping me learn to navigate change with greater understanding, serenity, and reward. Once you understand the way we humans transition through change, you never look at change the same way again.  It's like the mob...y...
