My name is Rachel, but please call me Rae.
I am a thinker, writer, drummer, gadget hoarder, techie, and foodie who endeavors to learn from every experience without regret. I specialize in counseling K-12 and college students and blog/freelance on the side.
This blog is named after a life-long nickname my closest friends call me (Chi, pronounced ch
) and the “vital force believed in Taoism and other Chinese thought to be inherent in all things.”

Chi Speak is a personal blog about philosophy, psychology, writing, drums, technology, and everyday life. It is written from my perspective as a biracial American woman in my mid-20′s. The blog archives begin with my sophomore year in college to the present, though I began blogging in 2001. Maintaining this website fulfills me, and I hope Chi Speak leaves a positive, lasting impression on you. The details of our lives may differ, but our basic hopes, emotions, fears, and instincts remain the same. This blog is about all of us as much as it focuses on my life; we all have a hand in the cookie jar. I’m willing to share.
This blog reverse-chronologically details my continued efforts to learn about Life, The Universe, and Everything (as aptly stated by Douglas Adams), archiving progression in my writing while offering encouragement and optimism to its readers.
