about me
When the going gets bad, the bad laugh until the going slinks out the door in shame and disgrace. I've been called a witch, a bitch, an iconoclast, a genius, a ditz, and just about everything in between. When in doubt, I just flip my hair around until an answer becomes apparent. I'm constantly in search of the sublimely ridiculous, which always makes me laugh. Luckily, it's getting more and more common. I'm not a good housekeeper, nor a good gardener, and only pursue my goals in the most half-assed of ways, yet everything seems to work out OK.
When Boundaries Make Fences
(blog entry)
I’ve always been a person with a heightened sense of integrity. Even as a kid, I worried about money, wanting to be as independent as possible, to not put a financial strain on my parents (as if that was ever an issue; my dad was a doctor!). I rar...

Something's Happening Here....What it Is Ain't Exactly Clear
(blog entry)
So I've had some kind of transformation lately. I haven't written about it because the truth is, I don't know what to make of it.
Let's start from the beginning. As the two readers of my blog know, I can be kind of cynical about self-help, even...

Please Help me Help Others, AKA HB Asks for Money for a Good Cause!
(blog entry)
Hi everybody – Some of you may know that last summer, I went down to New Orleans to help rebuild houses with Habitat for Humanity and some other organizations. After that, I decided I wanted to do more work with Habitat, but reasoned that, instead...

Letter to my Soul Mate
(blog entry)
Dear Soul Mate –
You know, I just realized I’ve been meeting you in my dreams for years. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been having dreams where I meet you and feel such sweet, warm, all-encompassing love – a love I’ve never felt in ‘real’ ...

Why the Housing Market Crash Has Been Good For Me
(blog entry)
So one of my dreams has always been to own my own home. Even as a teenager, I used to dream about having my own place. It would be some old farmhouse, with a big yard, and maybe a big old tree. My friends and family would come over and we’d cook ...

I’ve always been a person with a heightened sense of integrity. Even as a kid, I worried about money, wanting to be as independent as possible, to not put a financial strain on my parents (as if that was ever an issue; my dad was a doctor!). I rarely asked for things that cost money, and I got my first job as soon as I was old enough. Even then, every decision I made seemed weighty. Is it right? Is it good? Am I making that decision for the right reason? When I would go on road trips with my ...

So I've had some kind of transformation lately. I haven't written about it because the truth is, I don't know what to make of it.
Let's start from the beginning. As the two readers of my blog know, I can be kind of cynical about self-help, even though I work in the industry (maybe because I do.) Posts like this one ( honeybtemple2.blogspot.com/2007...html) , and this one ( honeybtemple2.blogspot.com/2007...l)are a testament to m...

Hi everybody – Some of you may know that last summer, I went down to New Orleans to help rebuild houses with Habitat for Humanity and some other organizations. After that, I decided I wanted to do more work with Habitat, but reasoned that, instead of flying 2,600 miles from home, I could do more good here in my own community.
To that end, I’ve signed up for Habitat’s “Build-a-thon” to be held over the Earth Day weekend (April 19-22). This project will involve completely framing six homes i...

Dear Soul Mate –
You know, I just realized I’ve been meeting you in my dreams for years. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been having dreams where I meet you and feel such sweet, warm, all-encompassing love – a love I’ve never felt in ‘real’ life. The funny thing is that you look different in every dream: dark, fair, skinny, stocky, once a dentist, once a botanist. Maybe that’s just dream language, maybe it’s because I love everything about you – all of your aspects. But there have been ...

So one of my dreams has always been to own my own home. Even as a teenager, I used to dream about having my own place. It would be some old farmhouse, with a big yard, and maybe a big old tree. My friends and family would come over and we’d cook food together, share stories, create stuff, laugh a lot, drink wine, and maybe even change the world. Yes, I did spend a lot of time daydreaming back then.
A little over three years ago, I finally decided to do it. I had a good professional job in...
