Write your book, start a new hobby, learn something new, help someone! The new normal has been isolating and disruptive in some way for almost everyone on the planet. As I meet with my clients young, old and in between it’s clear that what can make a difference always, but now more than ever... is having and following your dreams brings happiness and fulfillment. This past week one of my bio daughters published her first book... a dream she’s had since she was a girl. A year ago I published my first book, and ten years before that received my doctorate in psychoanalysis some of my dreams fulfilled. Relationships, accomplishments... what do you want? Go for it and live a great life beyond circumstance! So proud of @hilarymarsh! Love... Laugh... Be

Proud of my bio-daughter, Hilary Marsh newly published author! Highly recommend this book as a ray of light, hope and inspiration! #lovelaughbe #foreverhazeofafter

The difference a year makes.... a month a week a minute. Our lives can change or stagnate in the blink of an eye... what we always have a say in is our state of mind. If you need help with your state of mind... reach out! You can choose and get support to love, laugh, and be in your life! This isn’t a dress rehearsal, so make it count right now. Happy New Year !

Leadership matters and the ends do not justify the means. I found this statement by Bruce Springsteen gripping and important. Art, beauty, inclusion, family, friends, pets, play, generosity, language, literature are all so important not only to mental and spiritual health, but also the health of a society. How society goes so goes the health of it’s citizens. It’s so fundamentally important to note that Joe Biden has said he will be the President of the United States.... not ...the ‘divided states’ nor just for those who have voted for him.... There’s no art in this White House. There’s no literature, no poetry, no music. There are no pets in this White House. No loyal man’s best friend, no Socks the family cat. There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation: no Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments, or the Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport, no Reagans on horseback, no Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape. Where’d that country go? Where did all the fun, the joy and the expression of love and happiness go? We used to have a president who calmed and soothed a nation, instead of dividing it. We are now rudderless and joyless. We have lost the cultural aspects of society that have always made America great. We have lost our mojo, our fun, our happiness, our cheering on of others the shared experience of humanity that makes it all worth it. We need to reclaim that country once again. -Bruce Springsteen (10/30/2020) #VoteBidenHarris2020 #voteblue2020 #yourvoicematters #brucespringsteen #mentalhealth #humanrights #psychotherapy #successcoaching #lovelaughbe #familiesmatter #blacklivesmatter #lgbqtrights #artmatters #authorsofinstagram #authorpreneur #musicforthesoul

Knowing this, it’s our interpretation of what’s going on that causes stress. Often getting out of your head, letting go of obsessing, and taking action can help: breathe, go for a walk, journal, help someone, take a bath, and today (specifically)VOTE! Using your voice is a great way to de-stress! #lovelaughbe #yourvoicematters #vote2020 #voteblue #destress #mentalhealth #psychotherapy #successcoaching #blacklivesmatter #lgbqtrights #familiesmatter

There but for the grace of God go I. Be vulnerable and vote.... #yourvoicematters #lovelaughbe #voteblue #lovewins #mentalhealth #familiesmatter #blacklivesmatter #lgbqtrights
