When we’re going through hell, it can be strangely comforting to hear or read the story of someone who has endured something similar. Women who lose a baby are comforted by other women who have miscarried or had a baby die or been forced to put a baby up for adoption. People who lose a spouse too young find healing in the stories of how others have survived that kind of devastating heartbreak. Those who suffer from medical conditions find solace in the stories of others with similar conditions. People who have been betrayed by cult leaders, cheating spouses, exploitative bosses, con artists ..read more

Four Years Later: Reflections On The Covid Pandemic

*Photo credit Monique Feil It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since the world stopped. I’ll never forget the terror I felt when I saw the spooky, surreal, apocalyptic images of Times Square completely empty. I remember vividly the tears that flowed when the strictest part of San Francisco’s early lockdown first eased up, and I went to the San Rafael farmer’s market with a mask on, expecting to buy some produce. That’s when I really got how much the world had changed while I’d been holed up in West Marin in our sheltered little coastal village. There was hardly anyone at the fa ..read more

I want to talk to you all about something I rarely talk about these days- ART. I want to talk about it because I used to teach encaustic art classes while also practicing medicine. But I quit teaching art after I left the hospital and started a full-time writing and teaching career. The only art classes I taught once I left the hospital were with Shiloh Sophia, the founder of Intentional Creativity. And now Shiloh and I are collaborating alongside our partners in a new class INSPIRED: A Trauma-Inspired Approach To Self-Healing. We’ll be painting and practicing Intentional Creativity, in addit ..read more

As I watch the primaries unfold, I suspect I’m not the only one having flashbacks. Not only am I flashing back to the utter horror of 2016, when the gloves came off and all the sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic Americans got full permission to stop pretending to care about equal human rights for all and just got outright abusive. I’m flashing back to feeling like I don’t belong in my own country anymore, that I might need to become a political refugee and escape to a safer country. I’m flashing back to the awareness that as I am feeling that way, I’m also nearly at the top of the privile ..read more
