... a few of my favorite things ... (phlippines, life coach, counselor, psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist)

some people think that all shrinks are like dr. hannibal lecter- devious, diabolical, and dark.

these people are absolutely right! all shrinks are like that.

i have to say though that i'm not like dr. hannibal all the time.

sometimes, i choose to be more like patrick star...

and sometimes, i even start looking like him ... especially when i'm all light and bubbly inside!

here's a short list of my favorite things that make me as emotionally-effervescent as that effusive starfish, patrick:

• tennis rallies


• zen meditation


• qigong exercises


• personal spirituality


• wide open green fields


• fleeting clouds


• acacia trees


• the sunken garden


• anti-oxidant vitamins


• fresh fruit juices


• oatmeal breakfast


• large hairy guinea pigs


• friendly cats and dogs


• steam baths


• warm showers


• deep tissue massage


• ninja and samurai culture


• paper planes
