Katherine Mayfield's Blog: On Writing and The Meaning of Life (or Lack Thereof)

In 2012, I resolve to start taking care of myself. Really taking care of myself.
I’ve tried the new diets; I’ve sweated through the “no pain, no gain” exercise programs. I’ve even exorcised my clutter. But this year, I resolve to take care of myself the way I want to be taken care of. I resolve to nurture myself emotionally.

I solemnly pledge that I will not let anyone put me down or walk all over m Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Katherine Mayfield (?)

“Everyone in the family knows the “invisible” rules, and the behavior of all family members is based on them. But taking those unspoken rules into adulthood can create misunderstandings and misinterpretations when communicating with anyone who is not part of the family.”

“Denying so much repressed rage requires tremendous energy—energy that could be used to create an authentic and exciting life.”

“1. If all of your time was your own, and you could choose what to do with your hours and days, what are some of the things you’d like to do? 2. Are there people you spend time with that you would like to leave forever? 3. Would you like to socialize more in your life? Less? 4. If you could have any job you wanted, what would it be? 5. If you could dress any way you wanted, what would that be? 6. Do you have a dream of who you really are inside? If so, what is it, and how would that self express itself? How would that self live your life? 7. If you could do anything you wanted to right now, what would it be?”
