My Father David

I excitedly sat in my Abnormal Psychology class at Baruch as my professor explained our new assignment. I am giving you all a questionnaire to fill out based on your interests and personalities. Once I have analyzed them, I am assigning you a personalized book to read based on your answers. Before even exploring the worldContinue reading “My Father David”

Life As An INFP – Part II

I am an INFP and was aware I was different my entire life. I grew up. I have not changed although I must say I do use my non-preferences more easily, which is quite common. It comes with knowledge, growth and confidence. My inner INFP developed, but I always wondered how other INFPs felt andContinue reading “Life As An INFP – Part II”

Life As An INFP-Part I

I always knew I was different. From a very young age I felt deeply, I noticed beauty in a person, a flower, a hug. I was tentative with my relationships while I waited…I watched …I observed. I took it all in and was extremely reflective, while taking in the big picture of every situation. IfContinue reading “Life As An INFP-Part I”

Boomer-Ang-Wish

                                                        What Just Happened? Covid hit us over the head like a predator devouring its prey. It goes without saying that people in every single age group and circumstance were affected emotionally, physically and financially with the exception of the very young. We were, at first in denial and then in shock. We were inContinue reading “Boomer-Ang-Wish”

March 2020 (Change)

Some moments or days, I wake up feeling sad or empty. I think of what we have lost and not knowing when it will end. Is it days, weeks, months, or years? Time lost that will never be recovered. Time that we no longer have the luxury of losing. Time that we have earned toContinue reading “March 2020 (Change)”

The Authentic Self

Finding Yourself I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s.  In my teens, everyone spoke about “finding myself” or “searching for myself.”  What did that term actually mean? They spoke of traveling to different countries for that search. Of course, I learned we were all like Dorothy, in The Wizard of Oz with our rubyContinue reading “The Authentic Self”
