MID-WEEK MOTIVATION - A LESSON FROM MY DRIVER'S ED INSTRUCTOR
Each Thursday morning I present you with a song, quote,poem or passage to bring some positivity to your week.This week I reflect on a lesson I learned from my high
school driver’s education instructor. “Always drive at a speed that is safe for conditions.” I have remembered this lesson for over 45 years and I have applied it to other areas of my life. I tell you about how what I considered an “amazing weekend” ended in total chaos, due to circumstances beyond my control. And how applying this lesson, helped me get through it.My blog and current social media links are listed below:

Diagnosed with OCD After a Turbulent Childhood
Today I had the great pleasure of speaking with David Albert Cole. 54 years old and living in Canada, David has a fascinating story to tell. Conceived through violence, adopted by an alcoholic mother and many health issues, caused much anxiety in his life. He was diagnosed in 1999 during a medical crisis.

MID-WEEK MOTIVATION FROM THE DAILY STOIC. IT TAKES COURAGE TO MAKE CHANGES.
Each Thursday morning I present you with a song, quote,poem or passage to bring some positivity to your week.Today I will be reading a passage from “The Daily Stoic”,
written by Ryan Holiday. I heard about this book from my guest, Jaimi McPeek, in the episodes where we talked about self-love. There is one passage a day to read and think about. It takes about three minutes of my day and it is already changing my perceptions about situations I run across on a daily basis. I also write in my “Daily Stoic Journal” each night and I find it is really helping retrain my OCD brain.My blog and current social media links are listed below:

Welcome to Around and Around – The OCD Circle. My name is Elizabeth and I have been living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for over 60 years. I am not a therapist or a member of the medical…
community. I’m just an ordinary person like yourself, who will be sharing my thoughts and experiences with you, with the hope that you will feel less alone. If you don’t have OCD, I hope you will learn some information that will help you understand this disorder better.
