Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10302025.7

I was at my comms station and couldn’t believe my eyes. I came across my old logs (diary)! I wrote there from Stardate 05312001 until Stardate 08172009. I had no idea how cringe, depressed and religious I was back then. Officer Tino means business! I feel somewhat conflicted about linking the recovered logs here. IContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10302025.7”

Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10032025.9

Once upon a time, a captain could look at her sensors and trust the data displayed on her console. Nowadays, one must skeptically examine any incoming digital information since it can be faked, heavily biased and/or de-contextualized. (And this is why I use Ground News. Just kidding!!) The Bodega sector is lovely Perhaps even moreContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10032025.9”

Off The Record

Listen to this Episode There’s so much I want to say but I don’t know where to begin. I’ve deleted dozens of sentences trying to find just the right intro. I’m just going to begin writing and see where it goes. The first thing on my mind is yesterday’s (08012025) family fun night. We hadContinueContinue reading “Off The Record”

Captain’s Blog: Stardate 06092025.4

Listen to this episode One of the most sought out phenomena in the entire galaxy is love. Many holonovels (movies), video games and LCARS subroutines (apps) revolve around finding lifelong companionship. For a growing minority, a screen and their imagination will be the closest they come to experiencing true intimacy. Yet, even when love isContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 06092025.4”

Counselor Troi’s Office: Session 8

Troi: Christeana, its good to see you! Me: Really? Troi: Yeah, my shuttle craft payment is almost due and now I don’t have to worry about that payment since our session will help pay for it and then some! Me: After I’m done talking with you you’ll wish that you found another way to payContinueContinue reading “Counselor Troi’s Office: Session 8”

Captain’s Blog: Stardate 05042025.7

Listen to this episode Traveling through time is an interesting experience. Although it’s not physically possible to go back in time, mentally I’ve revisited the past frequently. Throughout the course of my journey, I have met many different captains. Aside from family, I think about the various romantic interests I’ve had. Loved exploring the CronaContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 05042025.7”

Captain’s Blog: Stardate 04162025.4

Listen to this episode When I’m not commanding the crew of the USS Zamora or flying off to different sectors, I spend a lot of my time on the holodeck (internet). The online world is still a relatively new frontier but one that has changed drastically over the last 28 years. When I first loggedContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 04162025.4”

Off the Record: 03292025.5

Listen to this episode I once read that living with people is like jazz. It’s improvised, messy, offbeat, and sometimes unexpectedly beautiful. I think that living with the crew can be described in much the same way. For the last 16 years of my life, I have watched my little cadets grow as people andContinueContinue reading “Off the Record: 03292025.5”

Counselor Troi’s Office: Biopsychosocial-Spiritual Assessment

In psychology, there are a lot of approaches. There’s psycho-dynamic, cognitive, behavioral, humanistic and really the list goes on. However, I never ran across a really good approach that addressed the spiritual needs of clients despite that being a very important aspect of most people’s lives. I’m a really big believer in a holistic eclecticContinueContinue reading “Counselor Troi’s Office: Biopsychosocial-Spiritual Assessment”

Captain’s Blog Stardate 03092025.6

Listen to this episode It’s hard not to feel a sense of awe when looking into space. The stars and the expanse in between them are functionally infinite. Even Earth is big enough that no one can see all of it in one lifetime. I think what hurts my heart is the fact that mostContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog Stardate 03092025.6”
