The Healing Project

This is me… My name is Debbie and I’m 44 years old.

I live in San Diego, California, with my husband of 10 years and my two cats.  I currently work as both a web designer and a writer on a contract basis.

My hobbies and interests include movies and entertainment, reading, working out, shopping, and continued education.

My Background

I have long been interested in psychology, personal growth, and spirituality.  I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology and am a Certified Life Coach.  Although I’m not currently working in either of those fields, I have never abandoned my fascination with human behavior and relationships.  Over the years, my career has vacillated between two seemingly diametrically opposed fields, social services and high technology.   I love to learn new things and I have many interests, so it’s been difficult for me to settle upon one defined career.

I have always loved to write and I’m a voracious reader, and I enjoy both reading and writing about a variety of topics.  I’ve wanted to write a blog for a number of years now, but I had a hard time settling upon a topic which I would want to write about on a regular basis over the long term.

Starting This Blog…

As the year 2010 began, I found myself feeling unhappy with various aspects of my life and facing a number of health challenges.   I have tried a number of both conventional and alternative methods of addressing my health issues, but have had limited success.  While I won’t abandon these pursuits altogether, I decided to approach my healing from a more emotional and spiritual perspective using Louise Hay’s wonderful book, “You Can Heal Your Life,” among other philosophies and modalities.

Enter “The Healing Project”… In this blog, I will be open and honest in both my challenges and my triumphs.  I would love to hear about the challenges and triumphs of my readers, as well as your thoughts and questions about what I have written.
