If The Political Has Suddenly Gotten Very Personal, Therapist Harriet Lerner, Ph.D, Has Advice To Keep You Sane (sub-title of article from Oprah's Spring issue on Family Communication Issues).



Article Excerpt:


"Try putting on your Anthropologist's hat and viewing your difficult family as an interesting culture. Observe everything, even your own behavior. What sets you off? What happens if you respond differently? When tree-hugging Aunt Debbie starts hammering you again for not switching to hemp tampons, try using humor instead of leaving in a huff or getting hooked into a fight. Aunt Debbie will never change, but that's not the point. The goal is to bring your best self to your relationships, even when the other is being an jerk. That's the kind of human being you want to be" -- Dr. Harriet Lerner, PhD.



From Oprah's magazine this past spring (May 2018, Vol. 19, No. 5, page 121).

Unapologetically Serena
 

Superstar athletes are rarely as generous, or as classy, or as outright talented as Serena Williams was on Saturday. The events of the U.S. Open show both how difficult it can be for women of color to be accepted as they are, and just how thoroughly she has rejected the status quo. Being the best may not be enough to take home the Grand Slam trophy, but Williams is winning at something much more consequential. —Gillian B. White, senior editor at The Atlantic.

"History has taught.. it is not enough for people to be angry-the supreme task is to organize and unite people so that their anger becomes a transforming force." - "Honoring Dr. Du Bois" (1968)

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”

- Stephen King

“If I never said I was grateful to you...I say it now.
If I never said I was proud of the home that you kept... I say it now.
If I didn't tell you that you were beautiful when your face grew lined,
when you didn’t have a new blouse from one summer’s end to the next...
I say it now.
And, if I didn't tell you that I loved you, I say it now.”

Missing you... I will talk about tomorrow."
