Happy Fear Monster Friday everyone!

Have you ever tried to talk yourself out of feeling something because it was uncomfortable? There are a lot of emotions that we think about as "negative" such as hurt, sadness, anger, jealousy, frustration, and so on.

Now, I don't know who did it, but somebody started a rumor that if you're "spiritual enough" or "a good Christian" (or whatever label you want...

Happy Fear Monster Friday everyone!

Have you ever had one of those days when you felt more out of sorts than usual? Maybe sometimes it even feels like your fear monster has taken over your body! (Pesky little creatures, sometimes, aren't they?)

Well, there are certain things that fear monsters like to take advantage of. When you're tired, or hungry, or "hangry," or maybe even hungover -- your...

Happy Fear Monster Friday everyone!

This week, I was feeling pretty stretched. I've tried to get comfortable outside of my comfort zone, but I was just totally overwhelmed this week. And then I remembered that little nugget of wisdom I picked up from Steel Magnolias, "That which does not kill you, makes you stronger."

So with that in mind, I would encourage you to think about where you've...

Happy Fear Monster Friday everyone!

This week was a sad week in the news. With the loss of Robin Williams, I was actually a little surprised at how much it affected me. I sat down on Monday to watch my favorite movies of his, and crying to "Friend Like Me" in Aladdin was definitely a new experience. I was singing along through messy tears, thinking, "You're right, Robin! There was nobody else...

Happy Fear Monster Friday everyone!

I have a little "news flash" for those of you who may not have noticed this yet, but life doesn't always work out the way we expect it to. You have to have dreams for your future, of course! But what happens when the way you envisioned your future doesn't work out? What do you do?

Fear monsters want to give up whenever they get their crystal ball predictions...

Hi everyone, and happy Fear Monster Friday!

Fear monsters like to fix things. It's in their nature. Sometimes though, they end up trying to fix things that aren't really broken, or they end up breaking things while they're in the process of "fixing" it.

This is especially true when it comes to yourself. We all have things about ourselves that we wish we could "fix," but what if you're exactly...

Hi everyone, and happy Fear Monster Friday!

George and I have a big announcement today! I've decided to focus on the comics, and I'm going to start drawing the comics daily, starting in September!!

And you can help! You see, drawing the comics every day is going to be a full time job, and since I'm not one of those lucky people who are independently wealthy, I could use some help in the whole...

Happy fear monster Friday everyone!

Sometimes life reaches a fork in the road, and you have to make a decision about which path to take. Making a choice can be scary, especially when it seems that choice will be permanent. You can ask for advice, meditate, pray, journal, and all sorts of other things to try and determine what will be best.

And then your fear monster gets involved... and so...

Yesterday was a special day for me. Six years ago, I made the decision to follow my heart, no matter where it took me, no matter how little sense it made to my brain. And it's been an amazing six years!

I celebrate July 10th every year, as a reminder to keep following my heart. It's not always easy, mostly because George is kind of a stick in the mud.

I'm going to go off on a tangent for a...

Happy Independence Day, Americans! (For those of you in other countries, happy Fear Monster Friday!)

In the USA today, we're blowing things up to celebrate our freedom from the British monarchy (even though our tabloids are still totally obsessed with them). But today I'd like to talk about a different kind of freedom -- the freedom to be who you truly are.

It's not always easy to do. To truly...
