This holiday season, like every single one I can remember, has been accompanied by a marketing frenzy – TV and radio ads, emails from every vendor I’ve ever purchased anything from in my life, and social media campaigns filling my feeds.

I just got home from my favorite barre class. No, not THAT bar class – although I do love a good martini. This barre class is a wonderful exercise experience inspired by a mix of Pilates, ballet, stretching, and yoga. It's my favorite form of exercise other than walking with my dog, Kinsey.

Some days, my head hurts from listening. It's more a feeling of exhaustion than discomfort. I reach a point where I know I need a reset.

I have a close friend whose Perceptual Style, like mine, is Activity. He was my college roommate, and we have known each other for 50 years.

Gary and I were recent guests on Randi Fine’s blog talk-radio show, A Fine Time for Healing: A Sanctuary for Your Emotional Wellbeing.

Randi is an internationally renowned Narcissistic Personality Disorder abuse expert and sought-after coach. When we first learned about her work, we were intrigued.
