I am a single professional psychologist with whiplash at the end of my 20s...asking Who am I? What do I want? Where do I belong? This is a site to collect my goals, thoughts, ramblings, and experience and journey out of myself into....cyber space? Hopefully,the place of connection.

I am one of those types that often fail to recognize how okay I am. I am trained at picking out abnormal: either positive or negative, and thus, contendedness is a struggle for me. I am apt at identifying the "missed the boat" opportunities, the foot-in-the-mouth moments, the "coulda done that one better" actions, the SHOULD HAVES, or not good enough thoughts. And these TAKE UP TOO much space for me to acknowledge all the beauty and grace that I am and do.
Part One of the Special K Treatment: make a list of 101 tasks to complete in 1001 days, and begin to recognize how okay my life is.
