Rehearse until it is real

Posted on February 27, 2022February 27, 2022 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Rehearse until it is real
Rehearse until it is real

I have been practicing Conscious Discipline (By Dr. Becky Bailey) for many years. As a classroom management strategy, when students come into the class, I notice all appropriate behavior and voice that out loud. If disruption happens, I do not point that out but instead voice out loud the specific on-task behaviors I see and…

Winter Blues

Posted on January 22, 2022January 22, 2022 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Winter Blues
Winter Blues

Winter blues are real! Since I can remember, every year during the winter months, I struggled with depression. Maybe it was the lack of sun, shorter days or too much negative thinking. Regardless, when I was younger I thought it would never end! But then spring and summer would come and I was happy and…

Our body responds to the messages we give it

Our body responds to the messages we give it

I was lying on the sofa, feeling yucky, depressed, anxious. In an hour I was to drive to the airport. My mom was paying for a luxurious vacation at Canyon Ranch in Massachusetts, a place of healing. I never knew when it would hit. Stomach ailments, pain, general malaise. I had gone to one doctor…

What brings you joy?

Posted on December 28, 2020December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on What brings you joy?
What brings you joy?

I ask because I am sometimes at a loss as to what brings me joy. I mean when we are kids, we grab our matchbox cars and take them outside, happily making “roads” with the grass. We get with a group of kids and play Kick the Can or Kickball until the dinner bell rings….

Creativity – what a gift

Posted on August 11, 2020December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays 1 Comment on Creativity – what a gift
Creativity – what a gift

It’s so easy to get caught up in worrying thoughts so that the next thing you know you are drowning in despair with darkness swirling around. It is subtle and sneaks up on you. It’s easy to do these days. Sure, feelings come and go. But sometimes I forget the “go” part. It’s important to…

Releasing Shame

Posted on December 15, 2019December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Releasing Shame
Releasing Shame

I have talked often about focusing on what we want, shifting perspective, focusing on all that is good in our life! I have talked often about when we are in the dumps, changing our perspective can be as easy as snapping our finger. I have talked often about how we can get into a rut,…

Feeling unworthy

Posted on January 22, 2019February 22, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Feeling unworthy
Feeling unworthy

Many of us spend a lifetime feeling unworthy. We may feel we have come far in our life, worked through many difficulties, succeeded in much and are actively trying to create the life we deserve…and then we dig a little more and realize we have much more to do. Maybe there are still feelings of…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Posted on November 23, 2017August 15, 2020 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so grateful for family, friends, our health, our work. I feel blessed beyond measure. This wasn’t always the case … there were times I felt I wouldn’t make it. If there is something going on in your life, hang on. There is a spark within us all – grab hold, hang on, and…

Take pause…and feel

Posted on July 8, 2017August 15, 2020 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Take pause…and feel
Take pause…and feel

For some of us, dealing with anxiety and/or depression has been a roller coaster ride for much of our lives. We are up, we are down. We are on, we are off. When we feel good we want to hang onto those feelings and never let them go, sometimes to our own detriment. I mean…
