It’s not easy being an introvert, because our society seems designed for extroverts. Job interviews favor those who are personable, smooth-talking, and quick-thinking. Classrooms are noisy, busy places that reward the students who raise their hands frequently and dive into group work. The social scene lauds those who are confident, outgoing, and quick to make small talk.
How can an introv...

Overcoming Sorrow
“Sorrow comes to all… Perfect reality is not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better and yet you are sure to be happy again.” – Abraham Lincoln
Sorrow is the opposite of happiness, yet both are part of human existence. Like life and death and the changing of seasons, it should be familiar enough to recognize that things have a sequence. Sometimes that sequence is a time of birth or rebirth, a creative force that erases failure and negativity. Other times, however, there’s a clearly defined sense of decay, lack of progress, mistakes and endings. The key to overcoming sorro...

Another Uninformed Commentary Regarding The myHR Appears In The Mainstream Press.
This appeared during last week:We can gain a lot by sharing our sensitive health dataSam Crosby
Published: March 29, 2017 - 12:00AM Years back, I worked with a group of people who had contracted Hepatitis C. The experience of one woman stayed with me. Julie looked every inch your average working mum. Hep C was a hangover of a past life she was desperate to escape. But when she confided her positive status to a co-worker, word spread throughout her office. She found herself shunned by one group of fearful colleagues, and pitied by another.Julie's story stuck with me, because it was such a stri...

My Incredible Results From The Whole30
I have long believed that self development isn’t just about changing the way we think.
Yes, that’s crucially important because if we think the same way, then for the most part nothing changes other than through blind luck.
It’s why I talk to clients about meditation and ask them about exercise and diet/nutrition.
Not that I would offer advice on the latter two subjects other than very, very generally, such as, ‘maybe it’s better to work out sometimes and not eat crap all the time?’
Sometime around 2008 I started getting interested in the Primal Solution and Paleo lifestyle.
In the subsequent time so muc...

Paul Ryan and the Triumph of a Cynical Barren Idealism
My son watches a lot of old hockey highlights in YouTube. One day he came across a grainy video about the "Miracle on Ice", that time way back in 1980 when a ragtag bunch of college kids shepherded by Herb Brooks went toe to toe with the mighty Soviet hockey machine and somehow pulled a monumental upset out of their asses. It was a time when America was "going through a bad time". There was the hostage crisis in Iran, the Soviet Afghan invasion, stagflation, the Carter doldrums, the post Vietnam hangover. The Red Army was on the move across the globe. Things seemed dire. And then this plucky b...

Headlines we expect to see in 2017
By BILL REID
Every year, around this time, we are inundated with healthcare industry predictions.

Breaking Up with My PTSD: The Reality of Recovering from Haunting Trauma
My almost life-long companion and I are actually breaking up. I should be more specific. What I’m breaking up with is more exactly known as C-PTSD, a form of PTSD. I think we’re in the final stages of our separation. It’s been a long and drawn-out breakup because that’s how it goes with C-PTSD. Once you get to know it well, you practice breaking up with it every day. Some days require more sorting out and negotiation than others.
It’s been around a long time for me. My children have all become very familiar with it even though they didn’t know what they’re really seeing. Most people outside of our home never ...

Thomas Paine, Advocate of Sound Money and Banking
Between writing his well-known revolutionary liberal tractsCommon Sense (1776) andThe Rights of Man (1791), Thomas Paine contributed knowledgeably to a 1785-6 debate over money and banking in Pennsylvania. Paine defended the Bank of North America ’s charter and it operations in a number of lengthy letters to Philadelphia newspapers during 1786, followed by a December monograph that summarized his case,Dissertations on Government; The Affairs of the Bank; and Paper Money.[1]Paine argued that to repeal the bank ’s charter violated both the rule of law and the maxims of sound economic policy. His writings show that he wel...

A Hangover
We all have had a hangover or few in our lives. Admit it, unless you are a lifetime non-drinker you have had a hangover. Alcoholic hangovers happen. We all know the feelings - dehydrated, headache, general crappy feeling.But with RA and fibromyalgia there are other hangovers - activity hangovers. This happens when I, or anyone with these diseases, attempts to be a normal person. You act normal for one day and then spend three days paying the piper, so to speak.Someone else wrote about activity hangovers the other day which made me feel like I am not alone. She writes about going to a party and then feeling the pain. I, on ...
