Why Do I Write...

Wow... ok, so I was tagged on a twitter post and someone asked me "why do I write?"

(Our mission: Ladies please tell us in a post, Why You Write? Please also tag 5 others and offer them 3 pearls of wisdom for other writers/bloggers.)

So let's get down to it... I will start off by saying, I began this blog because my very good friend Beth Sheldon Badore, best known as Melting Mama, told me to. She said I need to start blogging. I had been toying with the idea but it was her push that made me actually do it. 

Now that I have started blogging, although I don't do it consistently, I keep it going for many many reasons. 

Therapy: It eases my mind and helps me to let go of what is weighing heavily in my heart. While I don't always  put it all out there, this blog definitely serves as a form of catharsis when I need it to. 

Support: Isn't it nice to know you're not alone? There have been times I have sat down to blog and I will get a reply saying... "OMG I sooo needed this today! Thank You!" To everyone of you who has ever sent one of "those" messages, just know there is strength is numbers! If I feel "that way" and so do you, chances are pretty good so do others! 

Shameless self promotion: Yep I said it. I sometimes blog so that people will oooh and ahh with me and at me. Everyone deserves an ego boost! I sometimes blog to promote my practice. I am currently accepting appointments by the way for both my live and virtual couch! I sometimes blog to promote others too. The OAC mostly falls into this category. I have also promoted events for Obesity Help and my surgeon. 

I write to get information and give information. I write to help you see things in a new light. A re-vision of your own. Perhaps about body image, or the infamous "food addiction". I write about good things and not such great things, ups and downs. I write for you and I write for me. Ok now I am starting to sound like a Dr. Seuss book. 

So now I am supposed to give you three pearls of wisdom...

• Be honest
• Be yourself
• Be passionate

Free Therapy!!

 Be forewarned, I am going to use my blog for a minute to promote myself... but hey it's my blog so I can do that right? But I am also going to offer you something, so KEEP READING!

Have you ever been to a therapist?

I have! I grew up in a therapist's office. Perhaps that's why I decided o become one. We are such a complex community. We have addictions both primary and transfer. We may have experienced sexual abuse, compulsive behaviors, emotional abuse etc etc etc.

Wouldn't it be nice to not allow your past to dictate your future? HELL YEA!

I am a huge fan of therapy. The benefits can be life changing. I felt this way before I was licensed you should know lol. I know so many of you think therapy is expensive as hell and huge waste of your time and money. Well I want to change your mind! Let's talk!

Reach out to me! I will talk to you... For FREE! It's not all about the money for some of us. I promise. Granted, I have to make a living somehow but I am willing to try and change your mind. Lets have a convo. No strings attached, no paper work filled out. Just person to person. You and Me.

If you decide you like me and wanna keep talking to me great! We can talk pricing then. If you decide you want to talk to someone else GREAT! At least your talking to someone! If you decide therapy is not for you, I can understand and respect that too. But give it a try!

Send me an e-mail and lets set it up! I want to help you! I have a live office in Baldwin, NY and a virtual office that is good anywhere!

I want to make you an offer you can't resist... For everyone who sets up an appointment with me, the free, lets chat kind, I will throw all of your names into a pool and offer someone 3 months of FREE Therapy!! 1 FULL hour every week for 3 months!
