Long Overdue

Well, it's been a couple of years. Looking back, my last post was June of 2011. It is now July 2013. Since my last post I have applied, been accepted, and graduated from Graduate school with my Masters in Counseling Psychology, emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I also begun seeing client's in August of 2012.
Seeing client's has been one of my greatest joys. I believe that when one finds something that they love to do and can do it for a living, it will not feel like a job. I would even venture to say that helping my clients helps me just as much. I feel honored that I can contribute and help others in my community. There. I'm off of my soapbox.

Sugar Coating

Why are we so intent on sugar coating things? Why are we so afraid to tell people the truth? Are we afraid of what others may think of us?
We should stop worrying about how others perceive us and worry instead about ourselves. I would rather have someone tell me the truth, because at least they cared enough to tell me the truth. When we sugar coating things, we are not being truthful with ourselves.
There is also a fine line between not sugar coating things, and just being a plain old bitch. Tread that line carefully.
