Pirates Get The Best Doughnuts
I wouldn't say that I'm a huge pirate fan. But, when I heard that Krispy Kreme was giving out doughnuts on "Talk Like A Pirate Day," I suddenly became interested. Thanks to facebook, I learned that they would give a free doughnut to anyone who came in and talked like a pirate. Pretty cool! Or, they would … Continue reading Pirates Get The Best Doughnuts

Navigating Counseling with a Child: A Parent’s Perspective
There are two clocks in the therapist's office. Neither one works. One is completely missing a hand and the other is stuck on 3:00. I'm watching him type on his computer, wondering what time it is, wishing I wasn't so hungry, and watching William wonder why he's here. I'm kind of wondering the same thing.
