Fear is part of human nature. It’s a necessary emotion designed to keep us from harm. But what about FEAR that holds us back from trying, challenging, leaving, starting, knowing, believing…? It stops us.
Fear causes doubt and hesitation. We need to overcome it to meet the challenge, to try that thing, to go forward and take the next step. It’s scary but it can be done.

Have you heard of Scapegoating syndrome? I hadn’t heard of it until I randomly came across this post in my facebook feed; Scapegoating: When You Get Stuck Trying to Outrun Someone Else’s Shadow by Glynis Sherwood. This article answered many questions for me. It solved a mystery that I just couldn’t figure out.
This post was updated October, 2023. There seems to be a EX Narcissist epidemic. The most common statements I hear over social media and blogging are “My Ex is a Narcissist.” OR “I was married to a Narcissist.”
Funny, you just don’t hear I was married to a complete A**hole anymore. Why? Because the A**hole has been replaced by the Narcissist it seems.
Narcissism is a personality disorder (NPD) which technically, can only be diagnosed by a psychiatrist. But with the power of the internet we can all identify signs and symptoms of Narcissism at our fingertips. We already know what an a**hole is, right? So, let’s find out what a Narc is…we’re curious. We begin reading and watching youtube videos on the subject and voila, we’re convinced our Ex really is a Narcissist and maybe he IS.
10 Red flags that indicate your new man is a SHARK and NOT a fish.
Divorced women become unwitting prey for sharks skimming along just below the surface. They’re under the radar with their fin and teeth well hidden. They’re floating in bars, restaurants, social media and dating sites.

I’m over at Divorced Moms today talking about anger. I’m calling it the ‘New Black’. Why? For so long women have been raised to be the nice one. The nurturer. That’s all good except when things go terribly wrong. What happens in life when events, situations or people trigger anger? Well, they didn’t teach us that did they? They thought

I guess it’s pick on lawyers day. This is important, though and something I’ve experienced. It made me wonder at the effects of lawyers PREACHING self help when they should be practicing law…
There’s a reason why Lawyers should stick to their expertise and provide legal advice and not personal advice. I know a lawyer who attended a self help weekend retreat. The premise of these retreats is for people to LET GO. They tell their story and then claim they can let them go, like a helium filled balloon—floating away never to be seen again.

Are you inked? If not, are you thinking about getting a tattoo? Are these thoughts connected to an event in your life such as divorce, marriage, death, love? It’s human nature to want to mark an event with a celebration or a ceremony and sometimes with INK.
I’m over at DivorcedMoms venting about one of my pet peeves as a divorced woman. If you don’t like it when I complain, then you might want to take a look at my very optimistic Spring Kind of Mood. That post certainly shows my optimistic side :). But if like me you’ve gone through (or going) a divorce and have experienced smug married people making judgmental comments about us Divorcees, then you won’t want to miss this one.
An interesting topic I tackled over at DivorcedMoms today… Should or did you go back to your Maiden name after divorce? First, what’s in a name? This was famously answered by Shakespeare’s Juliet…”A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” I beg to differ, Juliet. We might be the very same person inside but changing our name can change our whole perception. Why else do actors and musicians take on a ‘stage name’? To empower themselves…
