I remember the day my friend turned to me and said, “Colleen, no one person tried any harder than you to save your marriage. You can find peace that you left no stone unturned.” No one wants their children to experience divorce. It is ugly, it is disillusioning and it is life changing. I hope…

People Facebook me. People text me. People e-mail me. People call me. We have one thing in common. They want to know why it is that they can’t get over the person they love and are losing. They are reaching out to the right person. I am an expert in not getting over love. I…

“I don’t know why work isn’t going the way it used to,” says my friend “Rosalita.” I think I know why. “God is trying to tell you that you deserve something better,” I say. You can work just as hard for someone who values you and pays you what you deserve. “Rosalita” needs to hear…
