    Identity Caption 3

      Here it is – another photo that needs a caption.  What does this picture say about his identity? My idea for a caption – Someone had to take the picture of a guy driving while talking on his phone while driving taking a picture with his phone.    

  • Identity Decisions

    Identity Decisions

    They shape identity.  Whether you spend lots of time thinking about them or not, your decisions shape who you become.  You are who you are today because of decisions that you’ve made.  You can probably think of decisions that you’ve made that have shaped your sense of identity and self.…

    Confession and Identity

    I don’t know what you think about when you hear the word Confession.  Maybe you picture something that happens in church with a priest.  Maybe it’s just a tough conversation with your friend.  Maybe you write it down.  Confession though is a great affirmation of identity.

  • Identity is Organic

  • Identity as Narrative

    Identity as Narrative

    So awhile back, I posted about wanting to start a podcast.  The main reason for doing so was to learn how to do it.  I’m realizing that it takes quite a bit of work if you’re doing all of the interviewing and the production.  It would be nice to just…

    Identity Specialist

    So it’s the name that I chose for the blog.  I would never call myself an Identity Expert because that assumes that I am the expert on identity. I studied it for my doctoral dissertation.  I have done a bunch of reading about it.  I understand a few developmental theories…
