Beyond Blue

I don’t know if you’ve heard but David Gibson, the award-winning religion writer who is the Catholic expert in most (okay, all) circles ever since he converted at the age of 30, is now blogging for Beliefnet! His blog, appropriately titled “Pontifications” can be found by clicking here. David is the author “The Rule of…

Since it is the Friday before Father’s Day, and I wanted to dedicate a post to all the devoted fathers out there, I thought I’d share passages of a very cool book that my mother-in-law bought for Eric awhile back, since he’s an avid golfer (well, if he were independently wealthy, he would be): “Zen…

Okay, so statistically speaking, there are more women than men who suffer from mood disorders. Having to do, maybe, with all the hormonal shifts we go through during our lives. Yes, PMS and all of it. But Group Beyond Blue member Luthitarian brought up a good point on in a thread on Group Beyond Blue:…

One reason I drag my kids to Lothian, Maryland (about 20 miles south of Annapolis) once a month to visit Fr. Joe Girzone, author of the bestselling Joshua series, is so that they believe me when I tell them that all priests are not pedophiles (despite what the media says), and that some of these…

I spent an hour last week telling my therapist that I wasn’t a perfectionist, and that David’s disabling perfectionism had nothing to do with my behavior. That’s partially true. I’m not a perfectionist in that I’m a slob. My house is trashed. I can barely find matching socks in the morning, much less apply make-up.…

Hara Estroff Marano suggests the following techniques in her article, “Pitfalls of Perfectionism,” to let go of perfectionsim: Perfectionists fear that if they give up perfectionism, they won’t be good anymore at anything; they’ll fall apart. In fact, perfectionism harms performance more than it helps. The worst thing about it, says Randy Frost [a professor…
