Whoa, Trigger!!
From Volume 17, Issue 8: Trigger events are situations that evoke intense emotional responses, often leading to impulsive or less-than-productive behaviors.
The Thin Line Between Humor and Hate
From Volume 17, Issue 5: Archie Bunker was, for some of us, hysterically funny even though he was a bigot. Similarly, Blazing Saddles ripped through sacred social territory paying absolutely no attention to the rules of society of the day, still leaving us in stitches.

From Volume 16, Issue 1: It is said that when the student is ready the teacher will appear…..sometimes that seems a little more idealistic than reality!
Love-Hate 101
From Volume 16, Issue 1: While the concepts of love and hate are supposed opposites, yet mean what they mean to each of us, I’m thinking common ground is needed to reconcile the two and bring internal comfort.

Last month I used the terms “role” and “soul” to help clarify the difference between being in my K/J state and my L/R state.

My “soul” are the untethered “think-out-of-the-box” parts of me that live in my thoughts and dreams… and sometimes run afoul of my role(s).
