My mother is next to me, though it is my father&#8217;s mother we are returning from visiting.  My mother&#8217;s relationship with her ex-mother in law, though tense at times (starting with my grandmother&#8217;s horror at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For two months, I watched a bird build a nest on a wooden beam over the entrance of the building where I live.  It&#8217;s an old building, built in 1906 as part of the &#8220;American&#8221; exhibit for the Lewis and Clark World&#8217;s Fair and moved somehow from it&#8217;s original location on the riverfront to where [...]]]></description>

Gender role reversal.  Yep.  That&#8217;s it.  The big daddy.  The big mommy. This topic has been floating around in my head for a while now.  And I&#8217;m putting it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two of my clients released their secrets to me recently.  Secrets that they had never told anyone prior.  Secrets that they had been carrying like a overloaded backpack, stuffed with heavy supplies such as rusty metal stakes, all weather boots, for years.  Secret holding is part of my job.  Creating space to let secrets peek [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the most part, I feel largely disconnected from my past.  I&#8217;ve heard it said before that each person is essentially &#8221;reborn&#8221; ever 7 years, meaning I think, that we are essentially new, or at least different, then our 7 year junior person-selves.  That memories shift into the chasm of the longtermblurrybrownish cliff dwellers who only come out when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My clients are colorful.  I don&#8217;t mean figuratively colorful, though I suppose they are that, too.  I mean literally colorful.  Their skin, by and large, is profoundly and profusely decorated with ink. Since drawing this subset of clients to my practice I have been thinking about the relevance of a person&#8217;s tattoos and whether or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the tender age of 36, I seem to have found what feels like the right relationship for me.  This process has been intentional at times, unintentional at others.  Sometimes graceful and thoughtful and sometimes flailing, groping, bumping into things in the dark.  It happened when I least expected it, as I hear these things [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I helped write a book.  It&#8217;s a good book.  It&#8217;s a sex book.  It&#8217;s a father-daughter theapist-team sex book.  What could be more fun than that?! The funny thing is, I never imagined that I would become a counselor that focused on or specialized in sex.  I&#8217;m guessing that my father didn&#8217;t either.  But [...]]]></description>
