Wherever you go, there you are

Posted on April 16, 2022June 16, 2022 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Wherever you go, there you are
Wherever you go, there you are

In college, I had this urge to go. So I transfered into my junior year, going to another University. The need was so great I didn’t care I had to go an extra year of school. I’m not sure what propelled that desire but it continued to stay with me throughout my life. When my…

Relationships: Friendships

Posted on March 16, 2022June 20, 2022 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Relationships: Friendships
Relationships: Friendships

There is a story I tell myself. It goes something like this. Friends will disappoint you, leave you, hurt you . . . it always happens. And sure, if I focus on this story or believe this story then it continues to manifest over and over again. Or does it? At times I have felt…

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…

Depression in Winter?

Posted on January 22, 2022June 18, 2022 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Depression in Winter?
Depression in Winter?

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…

New Year 2022

Posted on December 22, 2021June 20, 2022 By Walks with Strays No Comments on New Year 2022

In a time filled with division, fear and illness, let’s focus our New Year on what we wish to see in the world as opposed to focusing on what we don’t want. It is easy to get into a head space listing ones grievances, what is wrong with the world and in our lives. It…

Our body is Listening

Our body is Listening

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, 2020June 20, 2022 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….

Us against Them mentality at its Peak

Posted on November 19, 2020June 24, 2022 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Us against Them mentality at its Peak
Us against Them mentality at its Peak

Wherever I look, I see memes, articles or quotes telling us not to let THEM get to us. Most of the time, it is disguised as a motivational message. But in many instances, there is a sense that you need to rise above THEM, whatever THEM is being referenced. Don’t let THEM get to you….
