So excited to receive this in the mail today! My first published chapter contribution in a depth psychology anthology!

Why 4,000 skeletal remains adorn this underground crypt | CNN Closed until just a few years ago, this less popular tourist spot is adorned from floor to ceiling with the remains of 4,000 Capuchin friars and offers a stark warning for all who choose to enter. CNN...

I visited this crypt in 2014, and found it absolutely amazing!

Synchronicities can produce the crack in our consciousness that expands our choices, our capacities and our consciousness of the divine. These mysterious moments go beyond our ego consciousness & open us to the sacredness of being a part of something larger than we are.~Laurence Hillman, Alignments

So many today, including people within my own discipline, are only seeing the "worst case scenario" when it comes to artificial intelligence. I'm excited to see my chapter published in this important work discussing AI's many implications for psyche!

Conservationist Jane Goodall, whose work revolutionized the study of primates, has died | CNN Jane Goodall, whose lifelong work as a primatologist helped broaden the world’s understanding of animal behavior and emotions, has died, her institute said Wednesday. She was 91.

Such a great loss. I will always remember the day in second grade, when our substitute teacher told us that her sister was going to visit us--and that sister was the amazing Jane Goodall.

Another exact edition of a magic-related owned by Jung (well, in this case a precise replica of the edition he owned). This set is no longer considered current scholarship in many ways, but it’s still important to see what sources Jung was working with.

I'm presenting this morning at the John Whitmer Historical Association conference. Critics have cited Joseph Smith's earliest court hearings for scrying as evidence against him, misunderstanding how these statutes targeted the lower classes, while the elite were doing the same things. #JohnWhitmer

Another acquisition for my collection of exact editions owned by C. G. Jung. This is the only copy of the 1929 edition I’ve ever seen, so I’m glad to find it!

Ha! That's actually a pair of sitting cushions. :D

Funny side effect of my fitness journey—a sit/stand desk is suddenly a great idea instead of sitting on my shrinking butt all day! 😅😅😅

Where it started. Where it’s going.

My biggest success tool is weekly meal prep with delicious, low fat protein! This week it’s ground chicken with seasoning, air fryer lean pork chops, chicken salad with zero sugar Greek yogurt, and air fryer marinated chicken breast. Each container is multiple meals, quick to heat and eat!

At my heaviest, I weighed 453 pounds. I got down to 429, and then started seriously tracking (which means my updates are just from there). I set a goal to weigh under 300 pounds by my birthday (today). I MADE IT! 😁

Honored, humbled, thrilled that my work centering alternative ways of knowing was chosen in a field that can often become hogtied over methodologies!

Congratulations!!!
