Divorce Resources

Coming Soon With the end of Marjorie‘s story, I have a couple of guest posts coming up. This month, Suzanne Cramer is tackling whether it’s better to rent or own your home which to me isn’t such an obvious decision as it used to be.  I also have a guest post from Certified Divorce Coach, [...]

Self Acceptance

I’m a member of BlogHer’s Live Well panel and this past week I was asked to respond to the questions: “How do you practice self-acceptance and find unconditional love for yourself? How does practicing love first help you attract more love and happiness in your life?” Up until a few months ago I would have [...]

Valentine’s Day After Divorce

Valentine’s Day is approaching and while others may be excitedly shopping for the perfect gift for their loved one, it’s a festival that can throw any newly-separated or divorced person into a panic attack. The anxiety isn’t limited just to yourself but your children too. Certainly, when my kids were in elementary school, Valentine’s Day [...]

Week in review

BlogHer Writers Conference I recently attend the BlogHer Writers conference in NYC and since then my mind has been running a mile a minute. Conferences are supposed to make you think, yes? Overall, I have to say I left the conference feeling somewhat discouraged and demoralized – the consistent message from all the authors, agents [...]

Getting your day off to a good start

Some months ago I was invited to participate in BlogHer’s Life Well Lived Getting Happy panel. The first question to the panel was: What do you do to get your day going on an upbeat, positive note? For me, much of that happens before the actual day. I’m a planner and an organizer so at [...]

Changing family traditions

Changing Family Tradition

Week in review This has been an exciting week in our household but I’m also facing what is for me, a big change in family traditions. My son, who is sixteen tomorrow has a part-time job! He is so excited and so motivated. When I asked him how much he was getting paid and if [...]
