How Great Thou Part

There have been numerous articles out recently about Flip or Flop star Tarek El Moussa’s divorce. What caught my attention were his comments (and I paraphrase) that his adverse reactions to medications and his divorce were worse than cancer. This reminds me of a friend who once told me, “I buried one husband and divorced…

The simple truth? Not everyone grows up. It’s one of the reasons I coined the phrase… “I’m tired of watching children walk around masquerading as adults.” So how exactly does this happen? There are plenty of reasons an individual’s ego fails to mature. It can include but is not limited to being overindulged, modeling a…

I speak to anyone who has felt emotionally broken and spiritually repaired. When you end a relationship you must endure excruciating pain. For this reason, many remain in less than happy circumstances. The good news? It’s fleeting. It’s akin to ripping off a band-aid or wincing until the immunization is over. It is a temporary space occupied…

There is no magic litmus test for whether or not a marriage can be saved. Relationships come in all shapes and sizes. Some miraculously survive affairs, addiction, and other serious afflictions.

With impending freedom, a girl can’t help but think maybe it’s time for a date. After all, I have a friend who is two years out of her divorce who actually looks younger and more beautiful. I must admit I find a fascination with it. More time has passed yet more beauty surfaces. It certainly makes…

While most will be anticipating their June vacations I will be anticipating a different type of respite. My court date. I can’t believe it. There will finally be some resolution to what will end up being a five-year divorce. I can truly start inching towards my future without the dragging the past along with it. I…

Just how do you get over a divorce? This is a ginormous question for those who face it.  I didn’t quite have the answer a few years ago. In truth, back then it seemed SO complicated. There was the devastating emotional aspect, The fall from grace community aspect, The pull yourself together aspect, The need…

These are my girls Hazel and Phyllis. I know, not your typical doggie names. My girlfriend likes to say they sound like two old church ladies. But these four-legged ladies are the antithesis of quiet and retiring. They are wild. Ten-year-old Hazel still acts like a puppy and Phyllis, aka, Philly, literally is a puppy…
