Single Jew Who Does Not Care
Dry spell
Drinking Games in Maine
Coming to Peace with Oneself
It only takes one
Sherifa
Get Out of My Way
Scratching my head and saying “Huh?”
Yes, a sexy movie is always fun. I love a good Lifetime movie. But I don’t think I’ll be turning 50 Shades of anything anytime soon. If you see it, let me know what you think!
At my day job, I am a fundraiser for a super cool nonprofit that supports kids with special needs. One of the things I love about my job is what we do a lot of reading for professional development. Most recently, we’ve read Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. I’ve been really impacted by this book and by Brown’s Ted Talk, which talks about demonstrating our vulnerability. As a self-proclaimed “people pleaser” and having a classic case of perfectionism, I have had a hard time being vulnerable. I like to put up walls – especially when it comes to relationships – so I don’t get hurt and stay in the power position.
But, I’ve really been trying to be more open, more vulnerable.
This happened.
DSC_0110-MI was at a local event and met the awesome health editor of Boston Magazine, so I pitched the idea of featuring my recovery from binge eating disorder. If you recall, I recently lost my therapist, Sherifa, who helped me through the most critical part of my recovery. I said to my current therapist, “I need to give back. I need to help people like she helped me.” I like to help others – what can I say? So, I looked at this article as my eulogy to Sherifa.
