How Great Thou Part

There is a profound beauty in angels, both in their spiritual glory and what they represent to human beings. Angels surround us here on earth. They are spiritual beings, messengers of God sent to watch over us, guide us, pray with us and protect us. The word angel is derived from the Greek word Angelos…

I wish someone had cautioned me to take divorce one day at a time. Or should I say one ‘pain’ at a time? I wish they had mapped out each scenario and told me what to expect. The first hint of suffering in my children’s heart. The first time I would feel uncomfortable walking into…

Many years ago I read an article about the four traits of happy people.  I never forgot them. They were Optimism, Extroversion, Self-Esteem and a Sense of Being in Control. Before my marital problems, I can honestly say I spent my entire life feeling happy. There were definite challenges along the way. No life is…

These past few months I have been a bit inconsistent in my writing. It stems from what I will call the ‘Court-down’ aka the countdown. I had no idea the extent of preparation the months preceding court would entail. I have a new appreciation for the legal field. It’s my life and I have had…

I lost my mom when I was just twenty-eight years old but rest assured if the chips are down my Catholic mother comes knocking. When I am overly stressed, confused, burdened, or lost I cling to her example. It might be daily mass, her favorite prayer, praying for a sign, or calling on the saints.…

I have a secret. One I could never force myself to pound out on these keys until I felt the tide turning. It was in the infancy of this unraveling of a marriage process. I remember the exact moment. I know just where my youngest baby stood when he uttered those words. “You’re different,” he…

You never quite know where inspiration will hail from. Even the front seat view of a drive-thru Mcdonald’s. I couldn’t help but think… My relationship was more like a fast food drive-thru than a sit-down diner. There is nothing like a good analogy though I’m sure you didn’t see fast food dining meets relationships coming your…

One of the greatest divorce challenges is re-entering the workforce for those individuals who chose to stay home and raise their children. In fact, it’s the reason I have penned and not yet finished one of my columns tentatively titled “Don’t Ever Call Me a SAHM.” Reading the following Harvard Business Review article recently posted on…

The divorce discussion seems to be elevating in Hollywood.  And not in the typical fashion of announcing the latest couples to fall prey to this relationship malaise. But rather bringing much-needed awareness to the conversation. Most importantly, it shows the magnitude of the audience which exists in this arena. Relationships are precious and they are…
