Deja Vu Blogfest: I Can Hold You Til You Cry

The Deja Vu Blogfest is hosted by DL Hammons, Katie Mills, Lydia Kang, and Nicole Ducleroir.  Today we recycle a blog post that deserves to see the light of the internetz once again.

I chose one of the first posts on this new blog back in January 2011.  It's one of the few that received zero comments.  (The other posts that received no comments were my Japanese quake relief ones - so sad - and reading challenges.)

I Can Hold You Til You Cry

One thing people don't know about me is that I was in a really woo-woo graduate program for counseling psychology.  We regularly cried in class and did therapy on each other.

At the same time, I worked evenings at a well-known investment bank, assisting people who were younger than me and hundreds of thousands of dollars richer.  That firm was one of the first to crash during the recession and I was laid off just in time for my first NaNoWriMo.

Therapy by day, i-banking by night.  Yup.

The last class I took in my counseling program was Expressive Arts Therapy.  For my final project, I made a blog presentation: Temenos: An Expressive Arts Journal.  You've been warned, I was deep in the woo.
