Mental Health Rx – NPR vs. Rocking Out With Music
The radio in my car is set to my local NPR station. I enjoy listening to the shows of Kojo Nnamdi, Diane Rehm, Terry Gross and more. They stimulate my brain.

5 Steps To Changing Your Behavior Patterns
On Flag Day, Redhead Writing announced a sale on Big People Pants at Owning Your Shit Emporium. I like to think that I don’t need to drive over to that sale because I already own enough Big People Pants. Unfortunately, sometimes I forget to put them on in the morning, which can set off a [...]
