Sessions were held on “Suing Your University 101" and “Best Ways to Grow Your Instagram” and Tomi Lahren and Candace Owens were present.

I’m trying to find someone in that picture who isn’t white. I think I spotted Waldo, but otherwise it’s wall to wall crackers. Should have called it the Nuts and Crackers Conference

yeah i’m taking some time off alcohol right now to clear my head and i just started with a new therapist. i’m trying to make this work. we shall see.

I work in mental health as a case manager, not a clinician, but I’ve dealt with a suicide from one of my clients, and another serious attempt by a different client. Reaching out is a good first step.

And now “There Ain’t Nothin’ Like A Dame” will be playing in my head all day.

Make plenty of martinis

What I would give to party with these two Dames.*

In a Trump defiled world, Bourdain’s spirit and example are all the more valuable.

This week I will be reorganising my clothes room (yes, I have an entire room that functions as a walk-in wardrobe because I am a disgraceful fashion hoarder), giving my studio some much needed love because working 12 hour days means that all my instruments and associated paraphernalia are gathering dust due to having…

I managed to get *all* the amazon/6pm/zappos crap that needed to go back, shipped the fuck out!

(can I get a Hallelujah?)

Once my addiction became all consuming I became homeless and in jail twice in less than a year. Not to mention all my friends. The only…

“If I died in my sleep tonight I do not think I would care, and I do not think anyone else really would either.”

I spent hours researching women leaders and pioneers and disruptors and finding all the stories I could about those women to correlate to the failures and fears they wrote down, and then I hand wrote those stories under their statements in a book.

I think about this everyday. On the outside I am a fairly successful attorney/writer working in nonprofit in DC. I volunteer, I went to law school as a second career late in life. I travel extensively and I’m a photographer who takes pretty good wildlife shots.

It’s so sad that the well-being of her brand was more important that her mental well-being. But, realistically, she wasn’t wrong in her way of thinking. Being open about mental illness also means being open to criticism and dealing with the stigma that mental illness still carries. How many people keep smiling on the…

Many of the most successful, self-possessed, vibrant, independent women in my life struggle mightily with depression and anxiety, and go between wanting to put it all out there — listen, if I can live through this, so can you — and wanting to keep it all hidden, because showing weakness will ruin her capacity to be a…

Yeah, I’ve had that boss. She has problems that don’t have to be your problem. When she enters your space, ask her to hold her thought while you go pee, or return a client’s call, or get to a good spot on whatever you are working on.
