  • Imago Dei and Identity

    Imago Dei and Identity

    The Imago Dei. The Image of God. I have been thinking through these ideas for a little bit now. Just processing the implications of some of these ideas. I have read a few things about it – and I will continue to read more about it – which will ultimately…

  • Anxiety or Award

    Anxiety or Award

    As I was looking at my ‘Awards’ on my Apple watch – I remember when all of these little reminders to stand was a point of anxiety for me – not award. I needed to get all the marks for standing every hour. When I would go on a drive…

  • Seeing Other…..

    Seeing Other…..

    …..is not something that can be easily done. We easily assume that seeing another is something that we can all do, but I don’t think you can necessarily see another until you have an established and mature sense of identity and self. I was working on a writing project –…

  • Unknowing Yourself

    Unknowing Yourself

    I had never thought about ‘unknowing yourself’ as part of the process of getting to know yourself – or even more important being more yourself. It is a concept that I heard from Lori Gottlieb. She says, “But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself—to let go…

    I – am an educator.  Thank you very much. I’ve been one for many years.  I have been studying it for even longer than I have been an educator. If you’ve been following this blog – you’ll know that I studied adolescent identity formation in online space.  I have been…

  • Attention Addiction

    Attention Addiction

    I recently heard about this possibility – that it’s possible to become addicted to attention in much the same way someone can become addicted to smoking or drinking. All people need attention – some more than others. It’s possible to not get enough attention and that comes with some issues.…

  • Your Mask as an Expression of Your Identity

    Your Mask as an Expression of Your Identity

    Even your masks express your identity. Have you seen them? I’ve seen them with LA Dodger’s logos – flowers – blank – homemade – designed – brand logos – that represent their sense of identity and self. It’s amazing how even something as new as masks is already a canvas…

  • More Insight into a New Way of Being

    More Insight into a New Way of Being

    I don’t write long posts.  I wrote about a New Way of Being.  As I write this – we are still in that “quarantine and starting to re-open” phase. I keep the posts short and just work out the info – but I don’t spend much time explaining. My hope…

  • The Inner Work of Identity

    The Inner Work of Identity

    …….is hard. Let me repeat that.  “The Inner Work of Identity is hard.” Inner – the stuff that’s happening inside of you; in your heart and head; thoughts and emotions Work – effort to achieve something or fulfill some purpose Identity – who or what you are   Sometimes I…

  • A New Way of Being

    A New Way of Being

    It’s such a simple idea – but not easy to figure out or know what will happen. And honestly, we don’t think about how it changes us or our new way of being until it gets out of control. The Psychology always follows the Technology. We make the thing –…

  • The Researcher Identity

    The Researcher Identity

    This is mainly for me. I realized recently that I have not done much in my research area in the past few years.  It’s nice to have done research that is still relevant in conversations today.  I know that my doctoral research was a few years back, but I am…
