Live From Easton Beach, Newport, Rhode Island

 It's a beautiful, sunny day here in Newport. The water is cold, clear and choppy. I tried to swim but it's so cold I only made it waist deep and I couldn't feel my feet at that point. I came on this solo trip early and wish I could stay all day but I told Paul I'd be home by 2 for a delivery. It might be better that way, I won't have to fight beach traffic when I leave.

Back to relaxing in the sand I go!

Blogging as Therapy

It hit me recently that I blog like I would talk to my therapist. Some days I wish I still had one. She got tired of me and booted me out of therapy. Ok, not really,after 10 or so sessions she gently told me that I was ok. I had established boundaries and worked out some coping skills and didn't need a therapist anymore. I'm welcome back anytime.  I liked therapy, when I started I really thought I was losing my mind (long story, very long) having a 3rd party review all the evidence (mostly texts) and listen to me talk for an hour or so at a time then tell me I was NOT crazy was really helpful. I credit her with keeping P & I together. This blog is helping too. When I'm frustrated with life in general I come here and type away. So thank you all for reading. And for the couple comments I've gotten over the past month or so I really appreciate it. 😄 That said, I'm thinking of going back to my therapist for a few sessions. I need to figure out why I'm somehow

Hello Neglected Blog!

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Things have been weird since the election and I haven't felt like posting. I think I was in shock. I honestly didn't think this country was dumb enough to actually fall for the orange idiot, I was wrong. Very wrong. And it felt like I was punched in the gut. The only good thing to come of it is that women are finally banding together again. I wish I could have been at the march in Washington but work, money, etc. I was definitely there in spirit. Anyway, politics aside things have been going well in general. I still love P&H, I still need to lose weight, I still hate winter. I also still hate my job and haven't found another. What HAVE done is signed up for a postpartum doula class!!  I can't wait! I've already finished reading the required books, I have a list of questions for the instructors (just in case they don't answer them during class.) Does this mean I'll have a new career? Who knows but this is a

Hello, I Am a Podcast Addict

It hit me today that I listen to a lot of podcasts. Like,a lot of podcasts. All day really. I love pods. I learn lots, I'm entertained, sometimes I'm freaked out. I thought I'd share my top 10 and why I love them.  1. The Birth Hour Podcast -  So I think I've mentioned a few times before that I am going to start Doula classes next month (and if I haven't done that here, surprise!) This pod is all about letting women tell their birth and postpartum stories, the good, the fantastic, the terrible. I love everything about this pod and consider it part of my doula training. 2. Star Talk with Neil Degrasse Tyson - Do I really need to say more than that? this pod is fun and educational and Dr. Tyson interviews a surprising array of people. I learn something every time I listen.  3. Welcome to Nightvale - This was the first pod I ever listed to. I have no idea how to describe this one. Just listen if you like weird and slightly creepy storytelling.  4. Dearest Doula
