BLOG: Validation Comes From Within

Posted on March 25, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Just spent my day planning my back-up trip for when my boyfriend inevitably fails to show up at the airport in two months. You know, just in case the paranoia is real. I just want to make sure I’ve already done all the research, already made a plan, and already...Read More

BLOG: The Narc Family

Posted on March 25, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. My blog stats are dead. I guess people only come here to see the crazy. No one wants to hear that I’m actually doing well. Talk about a wake up call in life! Yikes. Yeah, that’s a weirdly typical encounter I’m having these days. No one appears to be...Read More

BLOG: The Waiting Game

Posted on March 24, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Monday morning. Having a coffee, watching the news. Recovering after the Yoga Festival this weekend. I taught four classes, one of which was a lecture with a PowerPoint that I spent all of Friday researching and putting together. Needless to say, I am exhausted. And now I have to teach...Read More

BLOG: The Yoga Eras World Tour

Posted on March 21, 2025March 21, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Friday afternoon. Sitting at the cafe after working on my presentation for the Yoga Festival tomorrow. I’m taking a break from it for a late lunch. I guess early supper? Is it supper time when you eat at 4:00pm? I don’t even know what culture I’m in anymore, lol. I’m...Read More

BLOG: Writing Again, Finally

Posted on March 17, 2025March 17, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Monday morning. Waiting for the coffee to finish. 20 years ago today, I got on a plane to Paris for the very first time. It changed my life forever. I got off that plane and said to myself, “Someday I’m going to live here.” And now… now I’m moving to...Read More

BLOG: Reboot

Posted on March 16, 2025March 16, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Saturday night/Sunday morning. 2:30am on the dot. I slept for about 10 hours today after a late brunch with my brother. Gee, I wonder why? Generally feeling okay right now. You know, as long as I don’t read the news. Or think about anything that happened in my life before...Read More

BLOG: This Experiment Has Officially Concluded

Posted on March 15, 2025March 15, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Saturday morning. Yesterday went from bad to worse fast. I remembered why I wanted to volunteer for a scientific study instead of just raw-dogging my trauma box on my own. Alas. It is over, and nothing can be done now. This story starts with me eating too many mushroom chocolates...Read More

BLOG: Shedded Skin

Posted on March 12, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Feeling good. Better than I have in a long time. I’m glad I opened the box of doom and faced down my trauma. It’s out there. It’s done. It’s over. I am free. The question now is… what’s next? I feel very strange right now. It’s like I molted...Read More

BLOG: Feelin’ Alright

Posted on March 10, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Monday morning. The world feels different today. Well, I guess I feel different today. The world is still a terrible place, obviously. Every day it gets worse. But today is different. Today I feel like… I can take this terrible world on. I have exorcised the demon within. If I...Read More

BLOG: Relief

Posted on March 9, 2025March 10, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday evening. Watching Gossip Girl. Trying to figure out how I feel right now. Mainly… a strong sense of relief. It’s out there. It’s done. That’s the whole outline of the book. In order of every terrible thing that happened, one right after the other. Now I just have to...Read More
