From the ARCHIVES; I thought we could use a little humor today. This is tongue in cheek and I first posted this last April. Someone contacted me and said they were offended that I would suggest leaving a marriage was this simple. To which I responded “Hey, Paul Simon was the one who said it, not me!” Also, grab a sense of humor lady…
We can thank Paul Simon for the clever suggestions in “50 Ways To Leave Your lover Husband”. Paul was one of the best singer, songwriters of his generation. I remember this song as a child and thinking there was something very unusual about the tune and the lyrics. It was both catchy and dangerous at the same time…
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms out there! Special wishes to the single moms doing it all alone. Single moms are some of the strongest and most determined women in the world.
How do you define motherhood? I remember when I was young and expecting my first child, I was so excited. The anticipation of caring for a tiny human was almost overwhelming.
The bewildering changes in my body as the pregnancy progressed were nothing compared to the changes to come. But ignorance is bliss. I was sure if I had enough hooded towels for baby, everything would be fine. As my baby grew inside me week by week, I was filled with questions. Who would he or she look like?

Who holds the key to your heart?
Last spring I posted Finding Your Inner Sex Goddess. We talked about our sensuality and using all of our senses to feel sexy again. Consider this to be Part II of that post because you’re sexy and you know it! I recently read on Huffington Post that women are happier and feel sexier after divorce.

In times of change, we need to go inside ourselves and think. We need a quiet place where we can listen to our heart.
When we arrive at a crossroads, we need to take time for ourselves to be quiet, to unplug. In our lives full of constant communication, we need more than ever to learn

Well, we’re half way through January and it’s about the time we’re all getting cranky over our resolutions. Maybe we’ve broken them? I avoid making New Year’s resolutions not because I think I’m perfect the way I am, ohhh nooooo. I simply do not like setting
From the archives, one of my favorites! The pluses of living single.
After being married with a family, it can be a huge adjustment to live alone or without a partner. Suddenly, what was once a bustling household can feel empty and the quiet unsettling. This can lead to loneliness. 
With Christmas around the corner we’re starting to make lists of who’s naughty and who’s nice. It got me to thinking about some of the depressing gifts I received from well meaning friends and family following my divorce. One that stands out is the
