One of the basic truths of life is that everything is temporary. Even physical life itself. So it stands to reason that every situation or circumstance is also always temporary. One year ago today, I confronted Walkaway Bob about his online dating site profile which I had found a few days before. And such was … Continue reading The Sun Doesn’t Shine on the Same Horse’s Back All the Time

Judicious Silence Speaks Volumes
I have been accused of: Disappearing Withdrawing Being Cold Being Cruel Shutting Others Out Etc., etc., etc. I know, right? Can you imagine anyone accusing me of these things? 😉 Now it is true that, on occasion, I have done/been each of those. More recently though, these are side effects, if you will, of me practicing … Continue reading Judicious Silence Speaks Volumes
Let’s Stop Shaming Each Other Over Grief & Sadness
There was a conversation a few weeks ago on Facebook about grief & sadness. The typical train of thought came up: grieving the loss of a loved one is somehow more painful than going through a divorce, breakup or the like. Having never experienced the death of a spouse, I can't speak to it. Thank … Continue reading Let’s Stop Shaming Each Other Over Grief & Sadness
Stop Asking Why
Just stop. Stop asking yourself "Why? Why did this happen to me?". Just stop. NOW. Many of my clients keep asking these questions. I have never dwelled on these Why questions but I understand where they come from. Human beings need to be able to understand why things happen in their lives for one … Continue reading Stop Asking Why
Plan a Funeral
This past Sunday night, I decided to have a funeral. A full blown, burn the body, funeral. Someone said something to me last week that made me realize that, even though I've come so far in these last many months, there is still some letting go for me to do. It feels like scraping the … Continue reading Plan a Funeral

Thought for the Day
I'm just going to leave this here:
The Lost Souls
By "lost" I don't mean physically lost as in can't figure out how to physically get where they're going. But it's similar! The Lost Souls are simply lost in that: they don't know what they want they don't know who they are they don't know who they want to be they don't know who they … Continue reading The Lost Souls
A Restraining Order is Just a Piece of Paper
Don't get me wrong - I love Restraining Orders. They work wonders with the average, garden variety bully. What they won't do is protect you or your family from a rageaholic, or anyone who isn't concerned about breaking the law. A Restraining Order can also be called an Order of Protection. In most states, there … Continue reading A Restraining Order is Just a Piece of Paper
What Exactly is Forgiveness?
I'm not sure I really know what forgiveness is. The word itself is so convoluted. I like clean, succinct words. I understand choosing to let go. I understand moving forward. I understand dropping your "bags" at the baggage claim and flying away. Shoot, I even once visualized leaving some suitcases on the side of I-85 … Continue reading What Exactly is Forgiveness?
