When I was growing up I loved to listen to the stories my grandparents would tell. My grandfather, Pampaw, lived in Point Barrow, Alaska, working for the United States Geological Survey mapping out the Alaskan territory. He and his new wife, my grandmother, also worked with the native Americans bringing education to remote areas in Alaska. We loved listening to their stories. Like when Pampaw helped lead the search and rescue team after the fatal crash of Will Rogers’ and Wiley Post’s plane. After many years, they moved to the lower 48 and continued working with the native Americans in Arizona. read more

March Madness is a sports term for playoffs in basketball.  Teams face off to win the battle or game.  Basketball is a fast-paced sport with subtle hits and jabs to the other team in an effort to put a ball into the hoop.  When the jabs are caught a foul is called by a referee. read more

My friend Jonna’s husband wrote this pledge back in 1986 which I ascribe to.

As a psychotherapist, I am privileged to know many people in depth and to help them in their efforts to resolve their emotional problems and live more fully.  Often frightened, confused, and in great pain, those seeking my help must trust me to care about them and be able to provide the help which I offer. read more
