Choose Wisely

My father was a doctor in a small town. At one point in his career, he was on call every other night and every other weekend. The pace was exhausting. And, to set the stage for what would happen sometimes at our dinner table, you also need to know that my father was very logical and rational.

This is a time to center. Let your breath enter your body as you inhale. Let it all go as you exhale. Inhale and feel your ribcage expand. Exhale and feel the release. This one is a wee bit salty.

When I was 17, an 19 year old boyfriend broke up with me, telling a pal, I had the 'personality of a gopher'. This bothered me for sooooo long, till I met him again when I was a grown-up/confident woman, and saw that he was the loser gopher...

An intriguing and interesting story, leading to me to understand how I personally present myself. Do I want to present myself as I have? Is this working for me? Changing the way we view ourselves by the words we use to describe ourselves is truly empowering. This talk is one that I’ll use repeatedly, to gain a better perspective of who I think I am and who I think I want to be, to eventually who I am. Thank you kindly. ✨⭐️✨⭐️✨

Lololol at the literal interpretation by father.

Really appreciate the reminders to inhale and exhale at such appropriate timing during these talks.

Drawn to a Betsy Johnson binge while feeling restless today. I especially appreciate the thoughtful subject, dry humor, honest content, and genuine humanity.

Powerful "English class" on similes, metaphors, and language. Wow.

Live Light. You have given me something to ponder the day after the Capital was stormed and two weeks after a bomber blew up my downtown. I am so heavy. Live light. That was why I chose to listen to a hit of hope this morning. Thank you. This was wonderful as always.

Omg. You’re and English teacher. That’s why I’m so drawn to you. I became an actress so that I could speak the words of amazing hearts like you. I’m a cherry tree living in a fucking spreadsheet. Time to rip that fucker up. Betsy, you rock my mornings.
