I'm having the best night ever. It's Saturday night, its raining in San Diego, we have a fire roaring in our wood burning stove, we're drinking a local brewery's porter, eating mint chocolate chip ice cream in pajamas all while watching the Wizard of Oz. The only thing that could make it better would be [...]
We've discussed in the past the necessary evil of some labels. I don't feel that being either an introvert or an extrovert is in any way a hindrance. I've debated with some folks that feel that being an introvert has held them back, or deterred them from living, but I don't believe that labeling yourself [...]
Let's face it. You're kind of a big deal. You may not shout it from the mountain tops, but you know what's up in your working world. People come to you for answers, and because you are reliable and a known commodity...Now we just have to teach you how to convey that to someone that [...]

I have never been a fan of "labels" (even before it was cool!) I spent Elementary School having students tell me I wasn't popular enough. In High School I wasn't risky or "punk" enough, now as an adult I've had peers tell me I need to "work on my confidence" because to them, it seemed [...]
That's the real question right? What is all the fuss about being and "Introvert" or an "Extrovert" and why start a blog about it?? The E/ I terms were originally coined by the Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung. Jung was best known for his breakthrough and definition of psychology concepts such as the archetype, the [...]
I rarely felt a part of anything except my immediate family. Of course I compared myself to them, my larger than life parents, who each accomplished the impossible and were able to talk to anyone. My younger sister was much more outgoing than I was: confident and secure in her huge circle of friends. Usually [...]
