What Your Therapist Really Thinks About You Have you ever wondered what your therapist is thinking while you're sitting there spilling out all of your anxieties and the thoughts that zip around your head that you'd never tell anyone else? Have you ever paused and worried, what did she just write down? Or think, "she probably thinks I'm nuts." Or "I can't believe I'm ugly crying, she must think..." Or any of the other things that we think about before, during and after therapy. Well I'm here to spill the beans on what your therapist may be thinking.

Dear HGTV - It's Not You, It's Me {My Open Breakup Letter} Dear HGTV, This is very hard for me to say, but I think it's time for us to take a break. Before I explain further, please know that it's not you, it's me. You've been a huge part of my life for so long, from the early days of "Flip or Flop" to the glory days of Chip and Joanna Gaines, and now I find myself enchanted by the many spinoff shows featuring couples tackling renovations.

Dear Single Moms in Baton Rouge, We are a little over a month into the new year, and reflecting on life seasons and growth is often helpful in motivating ourselves for what the year has to offer. I was a single mom for three years, and when I think back to my moments as a single mom, several words come to mind that describe me at that time: survivor, warrior, worrier, depleted, and lonely.
