-You are a dream machine. So many good ideas, so little time. This is a place to name and sort all your great ideas.
-You wish you were a better communicator. Good communication is something we learn, not something we are born with. Start by communicating better with yourself.
-You find yourself thinking about the same things over and over. Learn how to reflect and learn from your past to build a better future.
Spaghetti on the Wall is a journal designed for you.
Enjoy!
As a therapist, I have done tons of training in human development. Kristan stands out for her genuine empathy and interest in all that makes you who you are. Above all, she is witty, just laugh out loud funny. She lights up the room.
I have used her Spaghetti On the Wall workbook with clients and they say the reflections slow them down, turn inward and think differently about themselves and their relationships. The workbook is effective and to the point. I can’t wait for her next one.

I can be really stubborn. I know this about myself, and my family knows it too. Stubbornness is not a trait that I attempt to cultivate. In fact, it is just the opposite. I am continually reminding myself to be flexible and open. Many years ago, I...
Yesterday evening in the sliver of time between finishing computer work and starting dinner, I read a chat post from Suleika Jaouad. If you do not know who she is then I would recommend checking out her books, art, and more, Suleika Jaouad . The...
Another trip to Michigan, this time, things were serious. My then husband’s elderly mom Diane had fallen and injured her head. We arrived just in time to visit with her. She had regained consciousness after surgery to relieve the pressure. Sue,...
