I have been asked how I feel about gender, how do I view it today? Gender is of value and it is important that people get to experience what it is and what it means for themselves in their life and the roll that it plays, and not that it is an accident but its…
HALT I have roots in 12-step communities. I have learned life lessons, many of which are reduced down to a few letters or words. If a challenging feeling comes on, rather than dive head first into it, I think HALT and check a few things: 1 – Have I eaten? Maybe I am hungry and…
