Julie Unplugged: When you forgive....
http://julieunplugged.blogspot.com/2008/04/when-you-forgive.html
Thursday, April 24, 2008. I remember when my parents got divorced, people used to tell me, "Time will heal your pain." I hated that rhetoric. Why should my dad and his new wife get away with wrecking our family by virtue of time's ability to heal, to make us forget, to help us move on? So I vowed that time would not heal, that I would not forget, that, in fact, the pain would last. The night of the Gilbert-Lamott evening at UCLA, I found myself jarred loose from my usual thought processes. I had alre...

Julie Unplugged: October 2009
http://julieunplugged.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Waking up: The shift from one point of view to the another. And like me, many of my friends have gone through significant shifts (either a deepening of loyalty to their original commitments, or a radical reassessment which led to a new, changed point of view). I respect all of you (even when we disagree). I wouldn't keep you around on my FB if I didn't! Can I think about it a bit? The rightwing vision of politics has also walked in lockstep with the evangelical vision. Si...

Julie Unplugged: Inception (no spoilers)
http://julieunplugged.blogspot.com/2010/07/inception-no-spoilers.html
Saturday, July 24, 2010. The description "A cross between The Matrix and James Bond" is pretty accurate, though thankfully we aren't distracted by good-looking women pretending to be spies, offering themselves up to get laid. What fascinated me most were the assertions in the sub themes:. Holding onto guilt limits our creativity. Our subconscious is well-defended from alien points of view. We seek to alter our memories to relieve guilt. Knowing love from a parent makes a world of difference. The table to...

Julie Unplugged: July 2010
http://julieunplugged.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 27, 2010. The Underground of the Other Half. I got an email last week from someone who knows someone who knows me. She cautiously admitted that she's considering a divorce and had heard. That I had been through one ( Was that right? I remember years ago when a couple who led our home Bible study group filed for divorce. They were a little older than I am now. The home group disbanded because the husband moved out. At the time, it disturbed me. Why couldn't we carry on with t...She was still...

Julie Unplugged: What healthy looks like
http://julieunplugged.blogspot.com/2010/08/what-healthy-looks-like.html
Friday, August 06, 2010. What healthy looks like. At about that time, the "man of the house" and long term dear friend descended the steps and noticed the dog's confusion (and mine! He chuckled lightly. Kapu obeyed and returned to the house ready to eat. Bill scratched him behind the ears. Unremarkable moment in Bill's life, I'm sure. But for me, it was one of those "Oh wow! Something in me craved that forgiving, reassuring tone in my own life, let alone my dog's. And then I stood there in Bill's kitchen...

Julie Unplugged: How fragile we are...
http://julieunplugged.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-fragile-we-are.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. How fragile we are. There's a thin line that separates the mentally tough from those who've slipped under the rushing waters of panic and anxiety. Brave, successful, "mainstream" people one day find themselves clutching their chests and calling 911 when they feel like their hearts will burst, only to discover at the ER that they are suffering a panic attack and their hearts are fine. I've had an incredibly challenging pair of years, and it occurred to me recently that it would no...

Julie Unplugged: Eat, Pray, Love, Cover Your Ears
http://julieunplugged.blogspot.com/2010/08/eat-pray-love-cover-your-ears.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. Eat, Pray, Love, Cover Your Ears. Don't get me wrong. I loved the book. Okay, I loved it and at times wanted to yell "Over-writing, over-writing! But Gilbert's freewheeling word play that ran off the rails at times only endeared her to me in the end. She's the kind of passionate, self-examining, self-deprecating, self-inflating person I recognize! Let me count them:. The prophecy that led Liz on her year-long, world-traveling journey began with a prophecy from a medicine man.
