Let’s Dream Together
When you were small your dreams were lofty and possible. Over time they became more and more distant, ultimately unachievable or crushed. Dreaming about the future is a natural and healthy part of being human, but we need to learn how to honor and take our dreams back when they’ve been robbed from us. Your ability to reach your dreams has nothing to do with your own capability or your lack of ambition. Your dreams were most likely suffocated or temporarily terminated by the influential people in your life. Dreams are illustrations in the book your soul is writing for […]

Get Out of the Race and on the Roller Coaster to Divorce Recovery
If you are divorced, or in the process, BEWARE! Not of your ex-spouse, but of self-help “gurus” promising you a quick fix or time limited recovery program guaranteed to get you over the heartbreak of divorce. I’m all for any kind of support when it comes to divorce, but having gone through my own marital disaster, and sitting bedside with suffering divorce survivors, I can confidently say that there are no magic pills or fast remedies that will legitimately catapult you to the other side of this transition. Tools, affirmations, support from others and written exercises are all amazing for […]

Should You Salvage or Trash Your Relationship? 5 Questions To Help You Decide
You’ve probably been in a situation at some point in your life when you have had to decide whether toss something out or repair it. Maybe it was a tattered pillow, a ripped pair of jeans, or an old radio. Deciding to discard something that has some potential for rejuvenation may not be too hard in every day life, but when it comes to a relationship it’s pure torture. Relationships get broken just like the items in our lives, but we can’t just throw them away without much thought. We spend torturous hours deciding whether it’s worth saving, or if […]

5 Ways To Do Less And Have More
Opportunity can be overwhelming. I read a lot of blogs and books about abundance, living fully, and creating the life you want. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to get the most out of your time here on earth, I have found that too many choices can lead to indecision and paralyzing fear. When my kids were little it was all about limiting choices. Whether it was the cereal they were eating for breakfast, or the clothes they would wear to school, I always presented them with a maximum of two options. This gave them a sense of power […]

Five Tips For Co-Parenting When You Can’t Stand Your Ex
The process of divorce is hard enough, but when you have to co-parent with an ex who has become the bane of your existence, things can get worse. Some parents become better at being caregivers after divorce because they find their own voice and style outside the relationship. Others transform into an unrecognizable version of themselves, making parenting a horribly intolerable experience. Either way, when you can’t stand the person you are parenting with, life can become a drag, and the battle becomes exhausting. Read on.
