Do you follow back on twitter, based on someone’s profile pic or avatar? I admit, I do exactly that.
They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but we almost always do. Case in point, I have had so many compliments on my book cover image and some bookstores agreed to stock it simply because they liked the cover. No lie. “What about what’s inside it?” I wanted to ask. Never mind.
In honor of my 50th birthday…gulp…I’m sharing my humble list of 50 things I’ve learned in 50 years. Some things are funny. Some are things you’ll say “She’s just figured that out now?” Yes, I’m still figuring things out…so please have a read and a laugh. I have a special request for you though, before you make too much fun of me, share at least one thing you’ve learned in the comments 🙂
I originally wrote this as a guest writer. The site owner pulled it off her site when she was warned by Google that it is considered p*rn. It’s hardly p*rn. With the trailer for the film version of the 50 Shades book series released, I thought it timely to share this post with you.
Speaking of perfection…do you fear your Christmas won’t be up to snuff? Your gifts will be all ‘wrong’, your meal burnt? Well, join the club.
Even though I’m almost finished my shopping, I still wonder if I bought enough and if everyone will be satisfied. Has my love been adequately expressed through carefully wrapped gifts? Nevertheless I’ve given much thought to who’s been naughty and who’s been nice!
The Royal Tenenbaums is a film about family relationships including divorce and separation.
It is one of Wes Anderson’s finest films featuring twisted, kinky, loving, cheated and needy people who make up a mostly neurotic family.
Why would I choose to highlight this film on my blog? Simple. It’s a great example of taking situations related to divorce and making them funny…and…if the Royal Tenenbaums can get through their outrageous problems so can we…

Sometimes we just need to curl up on the couch with a cup of tea or glass bottle of wine and watch a good movie. Even better if we can relate to the main character’s situation, dilemma or pain. It’s time for our Divorce movie count down…
LISA’S DIVORCE MOVIE Countdown…
12. Blue Valentine
Ryan Gosling & Michelle Williams-this film is phenomenal and it’s not higher on my list because it is just so damn hard to watch. Their love story is told in flashbacks while we watch these two fall out of love and end in divorce. Blue Valentine gets top marks for its darkness but don’t watch this if you’re already suffering from depression…seriously…heed my warning
From the archives, one of my favorites;
I can’t think of a better way to spend a rainy day then to pen a love letter. During divorce we stop believing in love, so bring back that feeling by writing a love letter to anyone of your choice, maybe someone you’ve always admired from afar. 
Some say a love letter to yourself
Oh, to have a good friend! One who doesn’t let you down, who believes in you…those are the gems…and you’ll need them during a divorce!
“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
― William Shakespeare
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…
