I’m just not going to leave
Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging“, as I know each of these pieces represents something…
Don’t pick a therapist because you like them as a person. Instead, choose a therapist based on their credentials, expertise, experience with certain issues you may be facing, and overall effectiveness.
“Choosing a therapist you’d like to be friends with or have many things in common with does not influence their ability to support you in a therapeutic relationship.Long those same lines, don’t assume that just because your best friend, cousin, or coworker likes their therapist that the provider will also be a good fit for you. Referrals can be a great starting point, but you should still do lots of your own research and vetting.
You don’t have to put food in your pantry. If you have ample food storage space and need a spot to put your wine, turn your pantry into a wine cellar, instead. Line your walls with shelves fit for holding your favorite labels, and make sure to temperature-control the space to keep your bottles in tip-top shape.
Fifty years ago, our mothers’ bitter estrangement divided us daughters. But after I expressed sympathy over her mother’s death, my cousin mailed me a sprig of an aloe vera plant as a peace offering. Our shared great-grandmother had carried the original plant when she fled Lithuania for America in 1920. She gave plant cuttings to her growing family. My mother’s section died. For a while, the cutting my cousin sent me seemed like it would die, too — but then, a green shoot bloomed. My cousin and I reunited to celebrate; our branch of the family tree will regenerate. — Melanie Chartoff
