By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
Do you lie? Sure you do. Pretty much everyone will admit they are guilty of a little white lie now and then. The type that spares someone’s feelings or the one you tell when feeling overwhelmed and really not up to going out. And then there are the growing up lies. The party you just…

My brother saves lives for a living. I have never shared with anyone that I once questioned my own choice of career. Can you blame me?

I’ve had a few people ask me if writing about divorce keeps me stuck. It’s a really good question. On the contrary, writing about divorce is the one place I feel in control in an out of control divorce. It is cathartic and empowering to open my heart about a topic, many fear to talk…

I can’t lie. There have been many instances throughout this four-year ordeal of a divorce where I felt I have lost valuable time. The tug of wasted moments bearing down on me.
