Maybe it’s spiders. Maybe it’s germs. Maybe it’s f-f-f-fear of open spaces… Phobias box us in and hold us back.

On Love, On Silence, On Speaking Our Minds

December 17, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 12 Comments

When tragedy strikes, we retreat to silence. When tragedy strikes, we speak more plainly. Tragedy struck our nation in recent days. It isn’t the first time; more tragic still, most of us fear it won’t be the last. So perhaps it is time for us to talk about love, plainly. To talk about loss, plainly. […]

Jane on Jane, and the Value of YES

May 23, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 11 Comments

Thank you, Women’s Voices for Change, for the shout-out to Emmy Award-winning actor Jane Lynch and her 2012 commencement speech at Smith College. It’s a funny and inspiring twenty minutes (see below), filled with humor and smarts from this multi-talented dynamo.

Can You Name Your Demons?

October 1, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 14 Comments

We all have anxieties, regrets, fears – and often we blame ourselves for events we may not cause, or events in which we share responsibility, but are too quick to own it in entirety.

Stressed? Pressed? How Well Does Your Brain Work?

July 5, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

My stomach is knotting, my heart is pounding, pressure is fanning out across my chest. My mouth is dry, my words are sticky. Sometimes, my mind goes blank. Sound familiar?

Innocent until you “look” guilty?

May 15, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 12 Comments

This particular news item caught my eye this morning, regarding immigration legislation in Georgia, signed into law by Governor Nathan Deal. Is this about jobs? About tax dollars and services, or something more insidious? Netting it out – Georgia has joined the states of Arizona and Utah in trying to enact their own immigration legislation. […]
