The Big Debut
When I signed up for the class I didn't know that it culminated with an opportunity for the class participants to do a few minutes of original material developed and work-shopped over the course of the 7 week class.... Read More
I was hoping there was a problem…
That is not what you want to hear from your doctor. I have been waiting to see a specialist to tell me what my options are to correct a post surgical vision problem. The other thing you don’t want to hear is this happens in about 2-3% of people. I mean I guess you want […]... Read More
Lesley vs. The Sink
“I am pretty sure the sink is fucking with me.” This is the thought that I had a few weeks ago when I was simply trying to rinse some soap off of my hands in the sink of a public restroom. I am convinced that there is a hidden camera filming people with sudsy hands […]... Read More
ADHD or too much to pay attention to?
As a clinician I see my share of clients who are in various stages of dealing (or not dealing) with ADHD. Some are diagnosed, some are un-diagnosed, some manage with medication, some aren’t managing well at all.

Missing the Sun
I am missing the sun. This is not because of today’s eclipse, but because of where I live. I grew up in South Jersey, which I thought was the northeast, but I did not know what northeast meant until I moved to Massachusetts. When I first moved here I was starting my family and I […]... Read More

Dancing Like a Fool in My Kitchen
I love music! It is always on in the background or the forefront. I have customized a few stations almost to the point of perfection. I don’t just love the music that I have listened to for decades now (although I do that from time to time), but I love NEW music. There are so […]... Read More
Elevator Pitch
I love to think about how much room people take up in the world and I love to fully embrace the space that I take up (i.e. you know when I am in the room). I want to help other people embrace their space and fill it up with their authentic selves. Mean what […]... Read More
Make a Difference?
I read this Live Your Legend Blog Challenge prompt yesterday and I have spent a lot of time thinking about it. What difference do you want to make? My first thought was “I don’t know.” My second thought was “Oh crap, this blog thing is not going to work if I don’t know what difference […]... Read More
Missing the Target
I was walking through a Target today when I suddenly, but not unexpectedly felt a tug in my gut and a pain in my throat. It was sadness, I always feel sadness in my throat. So what could be in Target that would make me sad? Memories. Once upon a time I went to Target […]... Read More
