The In-Between Days of Divorce – When Grace Meets Reality
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
It is getting dark and I am perched in front of my keyboard. I have been jamming through my inbox, cleaning out e-mails, doing work and research since morning. I am having one of those in-between days. There is nothing jarring, stressful or new on the divorce front – phew! Yet, not a particularly upbeat…
Are You Truly Loved?
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
It is late and the moon peaks out slightly from the dark sky. I toss and turn and then grab for my phone. I shouldn’t leave it resting on the bedside table. A poor habit which makes it even more difficult to find sleep each night. I start typing column notes into my phone. I…
Some of the Bravest Women I Know
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
I swing open the door of the local coffee shop. I cross the threshold and spy two friends. I stop and chat with them for a moment. They are aware of my marital struggles. What can I say? The writer in me has for lack of a better term always made my life an open…
The 5 Keys to Emotional Success
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
In life whether it be the glorious peaks or the darkest valley the true essence of enjoying the highs or evolving through the lows resides in our core being. Who are we? What are we made of? Is our foundation so strong that we are humble through success and gracious in defeat? In our most…
A Husbandless Valentines Day
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
The store is bursting with activity. People stand in line arms overflowing with large red hearts and other love professing products. I hear a young father in the isle next to me with his two young boys. “I don’t wanna pick a card,” the boys protest. Obviously, turned off by tons of heart bearing I…
Ten Phrases That Will Save Your Relationship
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
Love should not be complicated. Love should be generous and generosity is a simple concept. It’s important to never lose sight of the fact that relationships are what I call a “Relay.” The beginning of the word ‘rela’tionship implies this significance. It is a back and forth, a give and take, a constant ‘relay’ to…
Is Divorce Different for the Stay at Home versus Career Woman?
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
I swipe at my keyboard to log into my computer. I find an e-mail waiting for me from an old friend. I will call her “Kiki.” I am excited to hear from her. Just seeing her name takes me back to shared laughter and sipping cocktails. I start to read and I only make it…
Do You Fear You Are Labeled in Divorce?
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
I am at the coffee shop this morning. I am really supposed to be walking with my friends “Candy” and “Cookie” only we decide it’s a bit too cold to be healthy this morning. We are more 40 degree kinda gals. Somehow it’s far easier to show up early for coffee and omelettes than walk…
What They Don’t Tell You about Divorce
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
No, not a particularly Happy New Year so far…sounds scandalous I Know. It goes against this self-help, motivational junkie to admit that I am starting the New Year off this way. I was ready to write something really positive. After all, that’s who I have always been. Only it’s not who I am right now.…
What Love and Business Have in Common
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
I often want to scream. To announce to the world that love just simply isn’t that complicated. Ironically, that is often what I tell my marketing clients. I urge them to understand that business is not complicated. On the contrary, it is built upon a few, simple principles. If you stay brand centered and conscious…
