As atrocious as all of this is, the headliner is misleading, because only five of the nine have actually proposed to overturn same sex marriage. During his press conference, Schriver claimed that allowing same-sex couples to marry “undermines the legal and moral foundation” of the United States, and deprives children of a “fundamental right toContinue reading “Same Sex Marriage Under Attack”

Thoughtful Tuesday – “Why?”
Has someone stood you up or not been there for you when you thought they should have been? Maybe not answered a text or an email?

A Relaxed Mind is a Clear Mind
As a therapist I’m always encouraging my clients to take time and relax.
