I made a decision to tell the people I love what I think when they come to mind. We spend time with people…we laugh over old memories and we make new ones – we usher compliments – and we thank them for things they have done. We neglect to share the moments, hours, days or weeks…

I know many people who have suffered the excruciating pain and indignity of an extramarital affair.  Their loss is often intensified because they feel as if they never truly knew the individual they dedicated their hearts to. Affairs are far too complex to simplify.  After all, the average two-person relationship can reak enough heartache and…

Some divorces are simple. They involve two mature adults who have the ability to be rational despite the demise of their relationship. Other divorces are brutal. They involve one or more adults who have zero ability to be rational despite the demise of their relationship. Why? It boils down to one ridiculously simple word… CONTROL…

I ran into a friend who recently divorced. The smile on her face – well, it was the stuff dental commercials are made of – bright and blinding. She was happy. In fact, happier than I had seen her in years. Divorce is harsh. It is filled with heartache, worry, stress and unbearable loss. Anyone…

I just met with my divorce attorney. It’s our four-year anniversary. Who knew I would be ending one relationship and beginning another? After all, I never imagined my divorce would last the duration of the Presidency. I believed it to be one and done. A year that is. A few handshakes, phone calls, and meetings.…

Oh boy, the quintessential question, “Why am I still not divorced?” Okay…in the larger scheme of life I was meant to walk this path and I have no doubt about it. I was meant to be reduced and humbled, rebuilt and to help others on the same path. I know this truth because my faith…

Praise presents itself in many different varieties.  There are physical compliments: You are beautiful, you are handsome, the outfit you’re wearing is stylish or even you are in such great shape. And hey, who doesn’t love a good outward nod, but they are just that – external. There are also personal compliments: You are such…
