There are some really great guys in this world. The problem is we don’t always attract ourselves to them.  And no, this does not mean they are perfect – none of us are. This simply means they are truly good people. The kind of individuals who will have more of the ability to love and…

A few months ago I returned. The person once known as Colleen Sheehy peeked through after what seemed like an eternal hiatus. I think I now understand the artist formerly known as Prince or Puff Daddy turned P.Diddy and so on. These men simply put titles on their life transitions or should I say personal…

Do you make New Years Resolutions for your relationship? You should. Consider it akin to the annual physical. If we don’t keep up with our emotional health one year runs into the next and before you know it valuable time has been wasted. The end of a year brings with it an energy which should be…

Of course, there’s the obvious reason we get stressed around the holidays.  There is twice as much to do in the same amount of time normally allotted for work and family and fun. But what really underlies the holiday hype in many relationships? Our issues remain dormant throughout much of the year – somehow we…

This communication or more appropriately ‘lack of communication’ probably existed in our family of origin. We simply don’t know any better. These are the patterns we witnessed…

These past years have been brutal; however, as much as I prayed for God to lead me forward and up and out of them, deep down I knew a truth. The type of truth anyone with deep spirituality recognizes in times of angst. I still hadn’t learned the lesson God was attempting to teach me.…

Let’s be honest, pretty much any individual who has experienced the horrors of a broken relationship has at some point felt like a victim. And divorce is about as broken as a relationship can get. Therefore, even those who admirably hold their heads the highest have soaked enough pillows to water a whole garden variety…

Just when your life is moving forward you (me) do something stupid like watch a cute young couple’s wedding video. Takes me back to the day I sat in my car only weeks into my divorce listening to my honeymoon song. Really? Why didn’t I just change the radio station??!! But noooooo, I just had…
