Characteristics of the stalker: Know what to look for
When you think of the word stalker what comes to mind? Do you think violence and vengefulness? Do you think fear on the part of the stalker? Do you think about the stalker’s lack of communication skills or even mental health problem(s)? Many people would agree that the first thing that comes to mind when they hear the word stalker is violence and vengefulness. Only a rare number of people would consider a stalker fearful and lacking in social skills. But many “sweet boys next door” can become a stalker for many reasons. Two reasons include mental health problems and lack of social skills.
One of the things we rarely discuss on this site are the characteristics of a stalker. But it’s important to understand that they too struggle with mental health or personality disorders that motivates this problematic behavior. Believe it or not, many stalkers, due to mental health…

Feeling Better….Part 3 – Mindfulness
When I mentioned writing Part 3 in this series I said it would be on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. I will touch on this subject, but I do not feel qualified to base my whole post on it. I will tell you how I got involved in mindfulness and how it led to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. (Note: I may refer to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction as MBSR throughout this post.)
There have been a few times when I have read some of the Buddha’s teachings. My husband has called himself a “non practicing Buddhist”. After really studying more about Buddhism, I find this funny, but that isn’t a discussion for here. I mention his interest in Buddhism because it is what caused me to start reading about it.

Experiments with Mindfulness: Journaling
I have a confession to make: I hate journaling.
Journaling is seen by many as one of the best things you can do to learn and grow as a person.
