In my first installment about making my head a nicer place to be, I talk about how I’m experimenting with being nicer to myself by simply not believing any thoughts that aren’t loving or compassionate.
This practice has been helpful, and I’ve started to notice some of the thoughts I have when I think about my [...]
I’m going to take a chance and write a really opinionated article about the financial situation in our country even though I could learn a lot more about it. If you think I got something wrong, feel free to add information (with civility as usual) in the comments.

Women, please do not let anyone commoditize your beauty. Our beauty is being reduced and repackaged and sold back to us in a lesser form. What? Is the only way to protest not to care about how beautiful your beautiful self looks? No, do not bother with them enough to protest, flow like the river [...]
