How true this is! Yes. No matter what stage of life you are in, we know that there are sometimes bad days. When going through a separation and divorce, you may find that the frequency of these “bad” days seem to increase. Your tolerance and patience for the unexpected, unanticipated and overwhelm is dramatically reduced and your emotions are already stretched in managing the enormous transition you are going through. So you had a bad day….whatcha gonna do about it? Well, here ar… Continue

Ask yourself the following q… Continue

What I want to stress to you today is that no matter what kind of man/”ex” your children’s father is…he is still their father and they need him desperately! • Regardless of what your children say • Regardless of what he does • Whether or not he pays, honors his obligations or is a kind/decent person Your children need him! I know ho… Continue

When will it end? Have you ever found yourself asking this question?? Perhaps you ask it about a particular day. About a particular meeting. About a situation. About a moment in time. The real question is….What is IT? When we are going through a divorce, we seem to ask ourselves this question over and over again….thinking that the “IT” is the divorce. However, once the divorce is over, this little question does not stop nudging us. Have you ever felt this way? My own experience had me ask… Continue

So, Monday will be my birthday. No...I will not share which birthday it is (42) but just know that I feel like I am 21...everyday, all day!

We have heard that before!! But, do we really live it every day? I would bet that since you have been going through the transition of separation or divorce, you have been overwhelmed with all that is going on in your life and either you have rationalized letting go of your commitment to your body because you: * have decided that there are other things that are more of a priority * been attracted to "comfort food"...you know, pizza, pasta, ice cream... * lost all of your motivation * figured… Continue

Divorce as a Journey It has been almost four years since my divorce and I realize that the word divorce does not accurately or adequately describe what this time has really been like. It was not an end, or a moment of it being “over”, it has been a transition. It has not been the end of a marriage, but rather a redefiningof myself and of family…a beginning. The word “divorce” means to legally dissolve a marriage and to leave one’s husband/wife.” It makes it all sound so simple, so clean and so… Continue
