For extra allowance, my parents begged me to take on the task of creating order in the food pantry. I was neat, careful with fragile objects, and artistic. My parents knew I would be perfect for the job, plus they had no one else to turn to. As there was always chaos in my family environment, the food pantry was a perfect mirror of our family dynamic. Knowing they would always need my services, I negotiated a higher fee. The truth is I would have done it for free, but on prin

I can delete you. I can block you. I can make you disappear. Welcome to the world of social media. Sadly, even if I remove you, you’re still there. In fact, my action has bonded me to you more intensely than if I had just let you be. I once read an ancient magiIc book that taught how to diminish an enemy by writing their name in an upside down triangle. As your name got smaller, you did too. It also showed how to exalt you by reversing the process. I realized I neither want t

One of the symptoms of “middle child syndrome” was the belief that I was invisible. My remedy was to enact insane dramatic incidents that would place me center stage. Once I had gotten everyone’s attention, I would revert to my former invisible self. The insatiable need to be seen and then not seen would create a patterned behavior of polarity. The emotional middle always eluded me. I’ve always been fascinated by magnets. They mirrored perfectly my emotional state which influ

What’s in a name? Before you meet me, my name is your only clue to who I might be. I was named Minna when I was born, but then my parents decided it was an old lady name so they immediately changed it to Mindy, an eternally childlike name. When you hear Mindy will be joining us for dinner, you might think you need a booster seat. A woman once rushed over to me to tell me she had a beloved poodle named Mindy. I’m not sure why she thought that would please me? At the time, I fe
