Write a New Narrative
December 8, 2019For all the years, I’ve been writing about divorce, relationships and my less than desirable love life one thing has remained consistent. I have focused on healing and the process most people need to go through in order to come out on the other side. Believe me, I have done it all wrong at times. Looking back at some of my stories, I see how stuck I was in my own narrative. Stuck in despair, anger, bitterness, and most of all fear. Fear is the driving force for all negative thoughts and beliefs. Fear is what prevents you from taking…
Shift Your Mindset
It’s funny how life works. Lately, I am continuously reminded of how divorce impacts your life and how difficult the journey can be. I’m also reminded of how people that have been through heartbreak and divorce can come out the…

Plenty of Fish or Flounder?
Against my better judgment—I did it again. I know I said I would never go on an online dating site after the last disaster, but I caved. I blame it on all these podcasts I listen to about getting out…
Trust the Process
I try to live by the words, “Trust the process.” This is true in relationships and in career. When you get to be my age, you realize that your greatest lessons in life come from your greatest failures. Well, I’ve…
Just Ask
Call it “writer’s block” or avoidance— either way, I haven’t been writing lately because I’m overwhelmed. All this time I thought that once I got out of the house and found a job that would allow me to pay the…
The Quest to Find Emotional Intelligence
I spend almost every Sunday morning watching the latest episode of Super Soul Sunday. To some of you that may seem corny or a little too ‘whoo whoo’ for you, but for me, every time I watch it, there is…
Dating is Like the Circus
This dating thing is like going to the circus. You enter the arena and you never know what you’re gonna get. You might see a lot of freaks that make you want to run, your occasional trapezes artist that may…
