Parental Alienation: A Family’s Heartbreak

Divorce and Parental Alienation

You may remember a few weeks back when I published Esther’s story of how she’d lost her children to the brutality of parental alienation. Author Mike Jeffries thanked Esther for sharing her story and for helping others avoid the heartbreak of parental alienation. Mike was also a targeted or alienated parent and lost his younger [...]

How To Survive Grey Divorce

The media has coined the term “Grey Divorce” to refer to when divorce happens after the age of fifty. I don’t care for the term … I associate ‘grey’ with ‘old’ and that’s not how I feel but that’s besides the point. The point is that when you are midlife and facing the end of [...]

Book Review: Nothing To Wear

Nothing To Wear

A couple of months ago, I was the lucky winner of a copy of Nothing to Wear? A 5-Step Cure for the Common Closet by Jesse Garza and Joe Lupo From Visual Therapy. I didn’t know at the time what the book was about and I’d never heard of the authors but flipping through it [...]

Divorce Ceremonies – why they matter

Celebrant Michele Davidson

Early on in February, I ran into Vancouver-based celebrant, Michele Davidson through Twitter. It was one of those completely by accident online meetings but one that you get the sense was meant to be. Along with celebrating all the usual major events in life, Michele creates divorce ceremonies. The very name struck a chord bringing [...]

Are you enough?

My daughter came home the other day and told me I had to watch this TED talk about vulnerability – her English teacher had shown it to the class because the book they’re reading currently is all about vulnerability. The talk is by Brené Brown who introduces herself as a researcher-storyteller. She studies human connection [...]
