The great thing about the New Year? It’s about starting over. It demands the past be left behind. It promises the opportunity to abandon mistakes, heartache, pounds, vices, choices, and regrets. The New Year promises…. a do over, a restart, a blank slate, and a sense of taking charge of life. This year, remember that…

My friend texted me today. She asked me how leaving a relationship could possibly be as painful as it is? How could she feel so desperate? How could she feel such darkness? How could she feel such a combination of both love and hatred? I texted her back. I said that part of it is…

I talk to people about divorce all the time. I joke that I am the ‘Divorce Whisperer.’ I know many secrets and I keep them all. I share the other stuff. The things that people give me permission to or the universal truths. So many people that I meet tell me that they lost themselves…

I sit watching television. The night grows dark outside the window. I scan the movies and choose one. It seems like the perfect choice. I think it will inspire me and get me thinking about one day moving forward and meeting someone new in my life. After all, that is what it is about. I…

We were young. Our original family expanding. Like Christmas morning we waited with anticipation to see who would be our next to love. My sister gave us our first girl. She would end up being our only girl. One out of twelve, she has been called the rose among the thorns and more recently the…

I pull into the parking space. I sip my coffee as I listen to “The Bobby Bones Show.” A nationally syndicated country radio show based out of Nashville, Tennessee. A caller is on the line. She tells of getting a flat tire. A couple of guys stop to help her fix it. She apologizes that…
