Take What You Need, Leave What You Don't.

Before I decided I wanted to start a blog, I had a lot of random thoughts come to mind. I am a thinker, analyzer, and wonderer. It’s these thought processes that led me down the road of becoming a psychologist. Sometimes I make no sense in my thoughts and I just ramble. And sometimes I have my own life chaos that I am trying to process that leads me down a thinking trap. But sometimes, just sometimes, I think I am on to something good. But it’s these thought processes that made me decide maybe I should do something with my thoughts- not necessarily for anyone else but more just for an outlet for myself. However, once I took the time to build the site and decided this would be a real thing- I froze. What topic is worthy of a legit post? What should the first post be of? Then I found myself hesitant to even write anything at all. So I decided to just be vulnerable in the first post and explain how and why this blog came about, and give a slight intro into who I am.

I am Dr. B. I am a full-time, working wife and mother of two little boys, who constantly keep me on my toes. I work in the behavioral health space, working on the executive team helping run a small but mighty company. I have a passion for what I do, and I love my job. I work many hours and don’t have much free time, although we always preach self-care to our staff and clients. (This is where I give a self disclaimer for those who know me, to do as I say and not what I do), but when I do have a minute to myself I love shopping, coloring, learning new things, listening to music, pampering myself with a massage, getting my nails or toes done, and if I get myself motivated I enjoy working out and kickboxing. I, like I’m sure many others, find myself in moments of happiness, moments of sadness, times of satisfaction, and times of wanting to push myself for more. I am a believer in God and my faith is important to me but I also make many mistakes along the way and I’m not here to point fingers. This blog is not meant to get recognition or to make money. I am not trying to promote my license or credentials or publicize my name. It’s not meant to create controversy or spike debates in any way. I simply hope this page becomes an outlet for myself to get some thoughts, feelings, and ideas out, and perhaps for others who find themselves on a similar journey in life to resonate and find hope, healing, strength, and maybe a new perspective through words they read on this page. So welcome to my page- and from a picture I saw many years ago: “Take what you need” and leave what you don’t and may hope to be with you wherever you go.
