For you frequent visitors, you may have noticed by now the conversations I’ve had on guilt, emotion, ego, and Kolinahr. My husband mentioned shame yesterday and that got me thinking. As of right now, I don’t feel shame. I associate shame with manipulation and, so long as I don’t feel shame, others can not manipulate […]
Exploratory Dialogue
This is really fascinating to me. So the ID is the desires and pleasure centers…our instincts while the Super-ego is this “The super-ego works in contradiction to the id. The super-ego strives to act in a socially appropriate manner, whereas the id just wants instant self-gratification. The super-ego controls our sense of right and wrong […]
Id
I’ve always had a fascination with dreams. Long before I studied philosophy or psychology, I studied Jung and Freud and their analysis on dreams. I recorded every dream I had for nearly two years and occasionally, when I dream up another crazy saga, I write it down. Ever wonder what a fantasy writer dreams? Heheheee…Our […]
My Philosophy
Philosophy. Greek. Philo means Love. Sophie means Wisdom. A Love of wisdom. Not “a study of.” Logos means “to study” and gives root to the word “logic.” Logos also is Greek for “Idea.” Cool, huh? Why don’t we say “Sophilogy?” I am a philosopher who takes Sophilogy (I am such a word nerd). Just rambling […]
War
Good morning dear reader. There is a topic I’d like to write about this morning that is…not pleasant. War. When I say war we all usually have one that comes to mind. I usually think of Korea because of how the show M*A*S*H impacted me. I’m writing from the States, so I’ll be addressing the […]
Who Am I?
On 7 March 2015 at 12:22 I wrote this article. Ten minutes later, I tried to write a second article to answer the question: who am I? When that failed, I began writing Broken. This article ignited the idea for the 96,000 word macabre memoir that I would write in just two weeks. Who Am […]
The Author speaks on “Broken”
Driven by a desperate need to define myself, I began writing Broken on 7 March 2015 hoping to find an answer to one question: Who am I? What emerged was a 90,000 word macabre memoir that explores the psyche of a thirty-five-year old woman who survived a number of traumatic events back to back. The […]
Blogging
Hello again, dear reader! I just had some thoughts I wanted to share. I love webdesign. I have no training or expertise whatsoever in code and webdesign, but since October I have delighted in piddling around with my website then watching the results. It’s quite fascinating to me, really. I love watching to see what […]
My Philosophy Blog
My dear reader! I have it! Philosophy! I know philosophy! A friend of mine uses his bio to explain his philosophy. I loved the idea and wanted to do something similar, but I realized that a single article couldn’t begin to cover my philosophy because it is a constant exploration with me! It is something […]
I Am
Hello again, Dear Reader. I have a ten-year-old son with anger issues. A lot of anger issues. Maybe someday I’ll go into those issues and I’ll tell you about the road he and I have taken together to get us here. Today, I want to talk about the conversation I just had with him. This […]
