Here’s hoping this finds you well and getting out more? It’s so nice to be able to see people’s faces, especially their SMILES. Sadly, some of our family and friends are not here smiling with us; they’re smiling down on us. We miss them and send condolences to all grieving families and friends. Seems like EVERYONE lost at least one friend or relative during the lockdowns…and then there are the hurricanes in the east half and the fires in the west…and wars in other countries in addition.

First, I do love babies. I love taking care of babies. I like their warmth, their smiles, their laughs. I like feeding them, walking around with them, showing them the sights, singing to them, dancing with them, rocking them to sleep in the rocking chair. It’s less of a joy to try to calm the colicky child, or change a dirty diaper, but IMHO those activities are overshadowed by the good times.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years.

When therapists work collaboratively with their patients to identify their personal goals, patients are motivated to commit to therapy interventions and expend greater effort.
