A friend and I chat. It’s a familiar topic that keeps rearing its ugly head during divorce. It seems yet another person is capable of opening their mouth to voice their particular thoughts on divorce. Now, I can’t place more emphasis on the fact that these misguided people simply have no clue what divorce really…

I sit with my marriage counselor. I like to call him “Dr. Phil” because he has that same direct and likable quality. “They used to call me ‘The Mayor of Great Falls,” I say. “I miss that. I enjoyed that big world. I took pride in being there for people. In solving problems and leading…

There are great benefits to being happy. It allows one to fully engage in the present and contribute well to the world. Happiness casts a living shield and makes it difficult for the negative aspects of life to stick. It is a given that life will present unhappiness. It cannot be avoided. However, the following…

The truth? A lot of people stay in unhappy marriages. They convince themselves that the grass isn’t greener. That they’re too old to start over. That everyone has faults and baggage just different ones so a new person will be more of the same or even worse! It’s hard for people to be honest with…
