I’m making good use of the new “announcements” section in the sidebar, for non-post content. For example, I’ve started a project of sources / references / inspirations, for accountability and because it’s good shit that I’m going to end up recommending to everyone I know at some point anyway.
On the current reading list are three heavy psychology books:
- (I’ve already mentioned) Set Boundaries, Find Peace. It’s so fundamental, I think this is my third time reading it since it came out in 2021.
- Good Morning Monster: A Therapist Shares Five Heroic Stories of Emotional Recovery, which a friend mentioned looks interesting to her so I suggested we start a mini-book club. It has given me an idea for a poem.
- The Body Keeps the Score, which I’ve been reading slowly over some number of months but it seems more urgent now, as I wait to see if my latest symptoms are long covid or years of neglect catching up to me.
This may affect the focus of future posts, TBD. Making shit up as I go.
(The tech person reminded me repeatedly to write a blurb for Google and I couldn’t anymore than I could figure out what words to get printed on business cards. (… Although actually “Making shit up as I go” appeals to me as a placeholder.))
I’ve also figured out next steps on two big projects, I’m pilot projecting a third, and I’ve started using my professional new email address to selectively contact people I don’t know. Progress!
